Here are some highlights from my 45min live pilates this morning. If you string these together, 1 minute per exercise, it actually ends up being a pretty good workout! 

I’ve been doing this for 10 years now, and my classes have evolved a lot over the years. I’ll usually incorporate new or interesting movements as I come across research or new findings; and (please don’t hate me pure Pilates lovers), I find it a lot more interesting than sticking to the standard 34 mat exercises 🙊

Teaching these online workouts is giving me a good run for my money, because usually during an in-person class, I can at least get a break when I run around to correct. With a live video I actually have to do the entire workout 🥵

You’ve read all the books. You’ve saved the posts. You know the stages of labour. So why do you still feel anxious? Here’s what most women aren’t told:

Birth isn’t just about mindset. It’s physical. 

It requires: 
- Pelvic floor coordination (not just squeezing)
- Breathing that reduces tension instead of increasing it
- Positions that actually create space 
- Strength and endurance for when labour gets intense 

And a lot of birth prep completely skips this part. 

As a pelvic physio, I see it all the time - capable, intelligent women who’ve prepared for everything; except the physical strategy of labour. 

That’s exactly why I created the FREE Confident Birth Game Plan. In 5 days I’ll teach you:

✅ How labour actually works
✅ How to use your pelvic floor properly
✅ A breathing technique for contractions 
✅ Birth-friendly positions 

Short. Practical. And evidence-based. If you’re pregnant and want to feel prepared instead of panicked, this is for you. 

And even MORE for you, someone on the sign-up list will win a 1:1 session with me for some tailored coaching and advice 🎁 

We start soon, so secure your spot before it’s too late! Comment BIRTH and I’ll DM you the link, or click the link in my bio. This is going to be a game changer for you 💜

It’s only 4 days until our Confident Birth Game Plan drops. It is going to completely change how you see and feel about birth ✨ 

There’s SO much information out there about childbirth, sometimes conflicting advice, and I know it can be overwhelming. That’s why I’ve tried to strip it down to some key techniques, positions and movements that are simple, but game changing. 

Don’t let this opportunity pass you by! Comment BIRTH and I’ll DM you the link, or head over to my bio. 

And remember one lucky person who signs up will win a 1:1 session with me for some tailored advice and coaching! 🎁

I’ve had 2 children and both birth experiences have been night and day. 

With my first it was long. I was tired and alone. I gave birth on my back and needed an episiotomy, and was too worn out to insist on anything I’d had in my birth plan. I had very little control. 

My second was born to a team of midwives, in my own living room, kneeling in a birth pool, and it was exactly the opposite. My midwife actually ASKED me if I felt ready to push. Imagine that? 

Birth is scary. We worry about all the little things that could go wrong. And although we can’t control everything, the more equipped you are with techniques, tools and positions - the more power you’ll have. 

This 5-day game plan is completely free. Whether you’ve just found out that you’re pregnant, or due next month, this is for YOU. 

The sign-up link is in my bio, but if you comment BIRTH I’ll also DM you the link. This is going to be a game changer for you ✨

What actually gets you ready for birth? Is it kegels? Some general stretches here and there? Doing absolutely nothing? (You’d be surprised at how many women opt for the latter).

I’m here to tell you that birth is absolutely something you can train and prepare for. And it doesn’t take a list of 20 exercises to get you there. 

It’s about knowing how to use your breath and positioning to encourage controlled lengthening of the pelvic floor, in a way that doesn’t cause damage. And it’s more straightforward than you think. You just need to KNOW what to do. 

My first delivery was a powerless experience. Everyone was in control; everyone except me. This 5-Day Confident Birth Game Plan is about moving you into a position of confidence and power, so you have all the tools you need to have more control over your own delivery. 

We start on 2nd March, and once we begin sign-ups will be closed! Don’t leave it too late. The sign-up link is in my bio, but if you comment BIRTH I’ll also DM it to you ✨

I think everyone’s a little scared of childbirth. I know I was, especially with my first. Even going in with all of my physio knowledge, there were still a lot of unknowns - and that was scary. 

If there’s one thing I do know though; it’s that preparation can help overcome fear. And that’s exactly what these 5 days are about. Preparing you and giving you the confidence you need for labour and delivery. 

We start 2nd March, and anyone on the list will also be entered into a draw to win a 1:1 with me 🥳 Let’s go over your birth plan, anything that you’re uncertain about; and give you some tailored advice.

Sign-up link is in my bio, but if you comment BIRTH I’ll also DM you the link. Time to replace fear with calm! ✨

So my daughter actually really loves working out. She was so excited when I told her we were going to shoot a routine together, and even more so when she saw the matching pink outfits 🩷

Highlights were: 
- A literal fart in my face
- Being told to stop counting down reps and let her do it
- And really just a lot of giggles 

It wasn’t my hardest workout, but it’s definitely been the most fun!

I’m running Lives each week on the Belly Strong app. If you want to join me, comment LIVE and I’ll DM you a discount code which you’ll get on top of your 7 days free ✨

Yes, I said it. You’ve seen all the movies with the doctors shouting ‘PUSHHHHHH’, but I’m going to go against the grain here and say that pushing as hard as you can during labour is NOT the solution. In fact, you may even be setting yourself up for increased risk of injury, tearing and prolapse. 

So what exactly do I do then? Well, I’m glad you asked. It’s all about coordinating breath with controlled lengthening through the pelvic floor. Using positions that facilitate pelvic opening. And yes maybe ‘pushing’ a little bit, but in a way that doesn’t unleash hell on your pelvic floor. 

Still confused? It’s a good thing that all you’ve got to do then is sign up for my free Confident Birth Game Plan! In just 5 days go from uncertain and anxious about birth, to feeling calm and prepared. And did I mention that it’s free?

By the end you’ll have:
✔ A contraction-supportive breathing technique
✔ Better pelvic floor awareness (beyond just squeezing)
✔ Birth-friendly positions that feel good for your body
✔ Strength where it actually matters
✔ Confidence going into labour
And most importantly, more trust in your body.
 
This gameplan is for you if:
✅ You’re pregnant (whether that’s 4 weeks or 40 weeks) and want to feel prepared
✅ You value safe, expert guidance
✅ You can commit to 10-15 minutes a day

Having given birth to two kids myself, and literally feeling when I was at the threshold of pushing too much and the tearing down below, all I want to do is equip women like myself with the tools you need to have as smooth of a labour as possible. 

It all begins on 2nd March. Comment BIRTH and I’ll DM the link straight to you ✨

Lower abs are so important, and here’s why: 

- They link up with the front of the pelvic floor so are integral for pelvic floor strength 
- Stronger lower abs can help balance out overactive lower back muscles and hip flexors (two big contributors to low back pain)
- More lower abs = more glutes, especially if you have an anterior pelvic tilt where your tummy spills forwards. This position lengthens the glutes, but we can use the lower abs to get more of a neutral spine = better position for glute activation. 
- They help to control pressure within the abdomen. Too much pressure with weak lower abs = more pressure down on the pelvic floor, which can impact things like prolapse and incontinence. 

I’ve been trying to be more regular with my own rehab and strengthening, and often that means bringing the kids along with me 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ve built a lot of specific rehab work into the workouts on the Belly Strong app, so you really can just have everything in your back pocket. If you’d like to try it for free for 7 days, comment FREE and I’ll DM you the link ✨

I’ve been trying to be more regular with my own rehab and strengthening, and often that means bringing the kids along with me 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’ve built a lot of specific rehab work into the workouts on the Belly Strong app, so you really can just have everything in your back pocket. If you’d like to try it for free for 7 days, comment FREE and I’ll DM you the link ✨ #fitmama #coreworkout #womensfitness #postpartum #momlife
