I’ve recently turned 47 and my “why” for training has shifted…

I’m trading mindless volume for:

Strength - Proprioception - Balance - LONGEVITY

One hand on the floor, one on the ball...
It’s not just a press-up; it’s a conversation between my brain and my nervous system. 🧠💪

The goal?
To be the strongest, most coordinated version of myself for the decades to come.

👉👉 Remember your pelvic floor muscles don’t work as well in isolation…

To restore and sustain strength & function to the pelvic floor & reduce leaking or prolapse symptoms, it’s worth taking a 360 approach…

Make sure your pelvic floor strengthening program includes the following components:

1) POSTURE- Good alignment reduces stress on the pelvic floor muscles & helps your diaphragm and pelvic floor synergy.

2) THORACIC MOBILITY - To help diaphragmatic breathing and upper body alignment.

3) HIP MOBILITY - This will reduce strain on pelvic floor muscles.

4) GLUTE STRENGTH - Strong glutes support pelvis and spine stability.

5) CORE BREATHING - To help core function and muscle coordination.

It is incredibly frustrating to feel like your body is stuck in a “time warp” while you’re busy keeping a tiny human alive.

That “pooch” or “shelf” that won’t budge—despite the walks and the healthy eating—often isn’t about weight at all.

It’s likely to be Diastasis Recti.

When your abdominal muscles move apart to make room for the baby, they don’t always snap back on their own.
This gap leaves your core unsupported, leading to that persistent bulge and often lower back pain.

Diastasis recti won’t just heal with time, it’s likely to get worse.

To address this issue, you need to start healing from the inside out.

Let me help you with this ❤️

Tiny weights - huge core gains!

Looks easy but isn’t!

Adding a small level of resistance to the upper body is a great way to progressively overload your core, feel better connections and get stronger!

Try these 4 - aim for 8 reps each and 2/3 sets through 🔥

To learn more exercises like this, come and work 1:1 with me!

There’s no ‘one-size-fits-all’ way that your body decides to accommodate your growing baby.
⁠
There is also no ‘one-size-fits-all’ method for helping our bodies to heal after birth.⁠
⁠
70% of people will heal with little to no intervention by 16 weeks postpartum.⁠
⁠
30% of people will need a little support with their healing, but this will look different to everybody.⁠
⁠
Here are some of the different ways i can help you, if you need that extra support with your diastasis recovery:
⁠
1. Check you breathing mechanics⁠
2. Check both your day to day postures + movement patterns
3. Check your pressure management techniques
4. Check your baby carrying / feeding positions
5. Check your ability to engage your core + pelvic floor muscles
6. Teach you how to progressively load your core

If you think you have diastasis recti and you’re unsure how to start your recovery, book in to see me for:

⭐️ POSTNATAL MOT 1:1 ⭐️

I’ll check you out and set you on a path to recovery, that fits with your body and your needs ❤️

💪💪💪

For too long, the fitness industry has ignored women in their “second act.”

They’re told to “slow down” or “take it easy,” but this is actually the time when your strength matters most.

Post-menopause, your body is changing. Your bones, your hormones, and your core stability need a different kind of support.

Training your core and pelvic floor isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about:

Independence: Staying agile and capable.

Confidence: Trusting your body when you lift, run, or laugh.

Resilience: Protecting your spine and pelvic health for the decades ahead.

You aren’t just “maintaining.” You’re evolving.

Finding it hard to motivate yourself to get outside and get your steps in??

Try this snappy core workout instead:

👉 2 plank walk - 2 plank knee elbows - 2 plank jacks
👉 Bicycle twists

30 seconds each exercise and as many rounds as you can!

I promise 5 rounds in and you’ll be knackered!

Monday goals?!

👉👉 The best vitamin for longevity is FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH.

As we navigate life—whether you’re postpartum or moving through menopause—our “why” for training changes.

It’s no longer about aesthetics; it’s about:

👉 Lifting your kids (or grandkids!) without back pain.

👉 Sneezing or laughing without a “leaking” accident.

👉 Feeling stable and powerful in your own skin.

Don’t train to get better at exercise, train to get better at life!

If your current exercise routine isn’t making your “everyday life” easier, it’s time for a new approach.

I help women master their core and pelvic floor health so they can get back to the things (and people) they love.❤️

Did you know that your posture or the way you hold yourself on a daily basis, can have a huge effect on the ability of your core & pelvic floor muscles to communicate, activate and strengthen?

Bad postures held habitually, can impact diastasis recovery and have a negative impact on your pelvic floor health.

Remember, every single part of your body is connected.

Here are a few quite common postural habits which you may not even be aware you’re doing:

🧘‍♀️ Tilting your pelvis too far forwards
🧘‍♀️Tilting your pelvis too far backwards
🧘‍♀️ Squeezing your bum and tucking it under
🧘‍♀️ Pushing your head forwards
🧘‍♀️ Tensing your jaw
🧘‍♀️ Gripping down with your ribs
🧘‍♀️ Shifting side to side on your hips
🧘‍♀️ Standing on the outside of your feet
🧘‍♀️ Collapsing your arches inwards
🧘‍♀️ Locking your knees in hyperextension

Simple changes can make all the difference to your core & pelvic floor strength.

There’s no point spending time and money rehabilitating your core and pelvic floor if your posture constantly lets you down…
