Support for a
different season of life.
A thoughtful approach to training through pregnancy and returning to exercise after having a baby.
I am pre and post natal qualified. I offer personalised coaching to support you through pregnancy and a gradual return to exercise after birth, with training adapted to your stage, experience and how you’re feeling.
At your pace.
With room to adjust.
Pregnancy and life with a new baby can change your routine, your energy and how you feel about exercise. The support you receive should reflect that.
I offer realistic coaching that helps you feel confident, with space to ask questions and adapt as your circumstances change.
There’s no expectation to rush, prove anything or “bounce back”. This is about supporting you and finding a way forwards that feels right for your stage of life.
Support through change.
Your coaching will focus on adapting training to your pregnancy, your previous experience and how you’re feeling, alongside appropriate screening and professional guidance.
The aim is a manageable routine that supports your confidence as your body and circumstances change.
No pressure to bounce back.
Your coaching will focus on a gradual return, listening to your body and fitting exercise around recovery and life with a baby.
If returning to running is one of your goals, we’ll discuss the appropriate support and assessment before planning next steps.

Does enquiring commit me to anything?
No. An enquiry is an opportunity to discuss what you need and ask questions before deciding whether coaching is right for you.
How much does coaching cost?
Pregnancy & Postnatal Coaching is £120 per month, Plus is £140 per month and Ultra is £160 per month. The main difference is the frequency of your coaching calls: monthly, fortnightly or weekly.
Can I train / lift weights while pregnant?
For most people with an uncomplicated pregnancy, yes.
Pregnancy doesn’t automatically mean you need to stop strength training. Appropriate exercise is not considered to increase the risk of pregnancy complications in an uncomplicated pregnancy.
Your training will, however, need to adapt as your pregnancy progresses. Exercise selection, load, intensity, balance, comfort and your changing body all need to be taken into account.
If there are any complications or concerns, I will ask you to seek advice from your midwife or GP before continuing.
Will weight training hurt my baby?
In an uncomplicated pregnancy, appropriately adapted resistance training is generally safe, and you do not need to be frightened of lifting weights simply because you are pregnant.
There are some exercises and movement patterns that may need modifying as your pregnancy progresses, and I will guide you through these.
We’ll focus on controlled, appropriate movements rather than simply continuing your pre-pregnancy programme unchanged.
If anything feels painful, unusual or concerning, stop and seek advice from your midwife or GP, and let me know before continuing.
Should I start personal training when I get pregnant?
You don’t have to, but you can if you want to. If you weren’t training pre pregnancy we’ll start very gradually, we won’t be chasing max efforts we’ll just be keeping you strong and capable as your pregnancy progresses.
If you were already training then we can continue through your pregnancy and I will guide you with appropriate exercises for your current fitness and stage of pregnancy.
How soon after giving birth can I start exercising?
The honest answer is that it depends on your recovery, how you feel and the advice of your healthcare professional.
If you had a straightforward birth, NHS guidance says you can start gentle exercise, such as walking and pelvic floor exercises, as soon as you feel ready. Ask for advice at your 6–8-week postnatal check before progressing to more demanding exercise. This check is not an automatic clearance for running or heavy lifting.
Your recovery will be individual and will depend on factors including the type of birth, any complications, your previous training and how you are healing.
We will rebuild gradually rather than rushing to “get your body back”. Pregnancy and birth are significant physical events, and your training should reflect that.
If you have had a C-section, significant tearing, pelvic floor symptoms, pain or any other complications, I’ll ask you to get appropriate guidance before progressing certain exercises.
As a mum who had an emergency C-section, I cannot recommend a Mummy MOT highly enough. A specialist postnatal assessment can check your pelvic floor function and abdominal recovery, assess concerns such as prolapse symptoms and diastasis recti, and guide exercises to help you gradually rebuild strength.
