There’s nothing I love more than connecting with people.

The goal is always to add value, to pique curiosity, to give courage, and to reinforce important messages.

Our Women’s Wellness Day was really special because I got to share information that can have a huge impact on a woman’s quality of life.

I want to thank from for asking me to be a part of this day because it forced me to level up so I could show up for the ladies attending.

If anyone needs guidance and support postpartum, or when they are going through physical struggles as a result of perimenopausal and menopausal changes - I’m here for you.

Come join us on the 8 Nov for a Women’s Wellness morning. We’ll be discussing all things female health:
- the deep core and how to hack it
- hormones and the impact on your pelvic floor and more
- supplements
- nutrition to fuel your body and training

I’m really excited to be presenting topics that can have a massive impact on our health and quality of life.

Can’t wait to see you there 😍

WhatsApp 0632698205 or 0761864713 to book.
It’s R250 per lady.
You will receive a copy of my booklet (in the video) with all the information we will be discussing on the day, as well as some incredible gift items.

Challenge your balance with me on my 😍

Poor balance is common in older adults (Approximately 1 in 4 fall each year), and falls are a leading cause of injury, hospitalisation, loss of independence and death in people ≥65. Programs emphasizing balance and functional exercises, combined with resistance training, reduce fall rates and the number of people who fall.

So give it a go:
- Reach outside of your base of support
- Challenge your core by removing the full support of your legs
- Practice sit to stand without arm support

Easy to do at the office or at home 💪🏼

You’ve got this ❤️

A muscle that lengthens efficiently can contract efficiently! 🙌🏼 Hip mobility and stability can have a big impact on the pelvic floor (especially when the issue is tension AKA pelvic and coccyx pain, leaking, constipation).

Get into a split stance lunge:
- body weight will mostly be on the front leg
- feet hip width apart
- inhale as you lunge down (aiming for opposite arm to reach towards the outside of your front foot)
- keep your big toe of your front foot connected to the ground and your knee over your toe
- exhale on the way up
- add a resistance band to increase load

You should feel the work or burn in the buttock of the forward leg 🤔

This will lengthen the hip rotators and lengthen the posterior pelvic floor 🙌🏼

Try it out and let me know what you think.

Try out this rib mobility and breathing routine on my 😍

The more mobile your rib cage the more efficiently you can manage pressures in your thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavity. Want to take some load off your pelvic floor? Suffering with a stiff neck because of inefficient breathing patterns? Improve your rib expansion 🙌🏼

🔵 Rest over the ball and breathe into your back ribs for posterior (backward) rib expansion. Add an element of rotation by moving side to side.
🔵 Rest your side rib cage over the ball and allow your upper arm to encourage additional lateral (side) rib expansion. Don’t forget to do both sides.
🔵 Lie with your back on the ball with your arms overhead to allow for anterior (front) rib expansion. Or roll the ball away from your in 4 point kneeling.

Test it out and let me know your thoughts.

Your pelvic floor, back and neck will thank you for it!

You’ve got this 💪🏼

This season is called: for me 💪🏼

Returning to exercise after having my babies was the best thing I ever did.

Are you the person who hasn’t exercised in 5 years? I’ve been there.

Are you the mom who just had a baby and doesn’t know how she’ll ever get back to exercising?
I’ve been there.

Are you that person who really wants to exercise but hasn’t made the space in their diary yet?
I’ve been there.

What I always advise my patients:
1) find something convenient
2) something affordable
3) something you enjoy
4) find community

You’ve got this 💪🏼

Loving your pelvic floor starts with good habits, not 1000 kegels!

If you want a happy pelvic floor - listen to the signals your body is sending. This will prevent:
- constipation
- hemorrhoids
- reduced re**al sensitivity (“I hardly get an urge to go”)

Benefits of respecting your urges:
- maintaining a strong brain-gut connection
- keeps your pelvic floor functioning optimally
- less anxiety around elimination

You got this 👌🏼

That was wild 🙌🏼
Had lots of nerves going into the Hyrox relay.
I haven’t competed against myself or others in a long time and it was both a little scary but also very exciting.
Would I do it again? Probably 😝 Thanks to and for all the epic training (I’ve loved every second!). I had the most wonderful relay team. Thank you and Lauren - you guys are the best! ❤️
