Looking for my number 1 thing that I think everybody who đŸ’© needs for Christmas??

It is of course the humble squatty potty!!!

We want our knees to be higher than our hips for the optimal position for your back passage AND so your puborectalis (part of pelvic floor) relax for that perfect pay out (đŸ’©)

And a squatty potty is FOR LIFE not just for those having a baby. I live in a house of boys and we all use it!

We use one that collapses now, perfect for travel! Let me know if you want a link 🙏

Thank you for this lovely feedback.

So many people arrive expecting a checklist, or one “correct” exercise (usually lots of squeezes!)

But pelvic health doesn’t work like that.

There are often multiple ways we can support your body and the right approach is the one that fits you, your symptoms and your life.

Support shouldn’t feel overwhelming.

It should feel confidence-building.

If you’re looking for guidance that’s personal, practical, and supportive, my door is open đŸ„°

I’m sorry that your previous appointments made you feel rushed or dismissed.

I’m not sorry that here

you’re listened to, assessed properly, and supported with a clear plan.
That’s my baseline & you’re so welcome here đŸ„°

A lady said to me recently, “I haven’t got back to running because I’m lazy.”

It stayed with me. How sad is it that we feel it’s ok to call ourselves names?

We’d never say that to a friend juggling a million things,,so why do we do it to ourselves?

The more I work in women’s health, and the more I navigate my own journey as a mum of two, the more I realise that the most important part of my work is helping women be kind to themselves.

We owe it to our bodies, and our minds, to treat ourselves with care.

Because women’s health is so much more than a few pelvic floor squeezes.
 it’s about compassion, understanding, and feeling supported in your own skin.

When you’re figuring things out after having a baby, your body, your time, your energy, the last thing you need is pressure to do more.

What helps instead?
- Honest, informed guidance.
- Understanding of what real life looks like.
- Space to move at your own pace.
This lovely review said it beautifully:
Because support should feel empowering, never overwhelming.

Sometimes, all that holds us back is fear....fear of doing the wrong thing, of making things worse, of being “too late.”
But your body is always capable of change. Always worth caring for.
And it’s never too late to start feeling strong again.

In clinic, I meet so many women who’ve carried guilt for years and blaming themselves for not doing pelvic floor exercises.

Maybe they were told to do them, but not shown how, not given a plan and not supported in a way that made sense for their bodies.

Ladies please, let the guilt go, you were never meant to figure this out alone.

If you’d like guidance that’s truly tailored to you, I’m here to help. đŸ„°

When you’re in a vulnerable position, maybe anxious, unsure, or feeling a bit exposed, what do you want most from the person caring for you?

- Knowledge that you’re in expert hands.
- Kindness that puts you at ease.

This lovely review summed that up perfectly:
It’s such a privilege to support people through those moments with care, understanding, and clear guidance every step of the way.

Of course, I’d never film a real client, so when my friend volunteered to be the ‘client’, professionalism went straight out the window 😂

Here are the bloopers we just couldn’t resist sharing, we hope they make you laugh as much as they did for us! 😅

I love hearing feedback like this from new mums.

Helping women feel stronger, more comfortable and supported after birth is exactly why I do what I do.

This lovely client came in with postnatal back pain, and after just one session of tailored stretches, exercises and practical advice, she’s already feeling the difference 🙌

If you’re a new mum struggling with pain or discomfort, know that you don’t have to just “put up with it.”
