I think everyone needs to hear this - healing isn’t a race - it’s a relationship with your body 🤍

If you’re coming back to movement after surgery, birth and or injury - remember: strength doesn’t come from pushing through pain, it comes from listening, rebuilding, and showing up with patience.

Today’s win might be a deep breath, a gentle stretch, or simply choosing to try again—and that’s more than enough.
Your body has carried you through so much. Now it’s your turn to support it with kindness, intention, and care.

Start small. Stay consistent. Trust the process. You’re stronger than you think—and you’re just getting started ✨

The 5 things I wish someone had told me pre-surgery…

1- Continue small habits as soon as you can : breathwork/walking - still feeling active and productive helps recovery. Start small - build slowly.

2 - Focus on something to keep the brain active : I reached into tracking my cycle, fasting, new healthy recipes and new beauty routines.

3 - Rest often : so easy to over do it. Don’t feel guilty try and enjoy it.

4 - Spend time with loved ones - it will lift your mood and spirits x100 but remember to prioritise rest and sleep!

5- Sleep is key - but you’ll work this out quite quickly - your body will tell you trust me.

Make all of the above a little bit of fun/nicer experience - listen to a podcast, walk to your fave coffee spot as a treat, focus your mind on something that interests you I.e health and beauty. Spend quality time with your loved ones but know when it’s time to curl up and rest with your fave trash TV or book!

Hope everyone out there in recovery or healing feels better soon ❤️‍🩹 - what do you wish you’d considered before?!

I’ve been a little quiet on here recently but I’ve been living life with these lot ♥️ and to me that should be what it’s all about right now!!!!

Being a Mummy of 3 means it’s all SO consuming - all of the time! IYKYK.

Pilates still goes on - I’m still building my strength 💪🏻

Sometimes we’ve just got to live the moment and let a few things fall to the background ♥️

I will in time bring some more pilates inspo and content to the grid but right now I’m going to carry on living my best life with my bubbas! 🥰 - over and out for now!!!! 🤘🏻

I feel this deserved a spot on the ‘grid’ 🖤

Want to improve your Diastasis Recti? AKA separation of the abdominal wall… here’s 6 things you can do…

💫 Toe taps
💫 Heel bridges
💫 Butterfly squeezes Knee
💫 Knee drops
💫 Knee folds
💫 Knee fold with leg stretch

It is SO common when having a bubba to have 3cm + separation (and even when you haven’t had a baby - this can still happen!! Even to blokes!)

I’m giving you here my ‘core’ exercises - the ones I went to - to go from 3cm separated to barely 1cm!

Now these are the ones you go to from 6-8 weeks PP (As long as doc says ok and no comps!)

Notice how I’m using lateral breath here to draw my bellybutton in towards my spine and my ribs pull down at the same time. This is enabling my transverse abdominis (deep core) to really switch on and engage through the exercises.

Note. These may seem boring but You NEED to strengthen your deep core before anything else!
