Pregnancy changes the way you breathe. As your baby grows, your ribs and diaphragm have less room to move, and many mums start breathing more through their neck and shoulders, which can leave you feeling tight and achy. I'll help you gently retrain your breathing so your deep core can switch back on and your body can relax and recover.

Whether you had a vaginal birth or a C-section, your body has done something incredible. Before jumping back into running, lifting or high-impact exercise, I guide you through slow, focused movements that help you reconnect with your core and build a strong foundation, so you can get back to the things you love (running, lifting your kids, jumping on the trampoline) with confidence. If you notice any pelvic floor symptoms such as leaking, heaviness or pain, I always recommend seeing a women's health (pelvic floor) physiotherapist, and I'm happy to work alongside them.

Your belly stretches beautifully to make room for your baby, and it's very common for your tummy muscles to separate a little (diastasis recti). Research suggests every woman has some separation by the end of pregnancy (Mota et al., 2015). With the right exercises, done in the right order, you can gently rebuild strength through your deep core without adding pressure. I learned this through my own postpartum recovery, and it's why I'm so passionate about helping other mums.
