Move through pregnancy and beyond

DURING PREGNANCY

AFTER BIRTH

Pilates can help you maintain strength and support your body as it changes throughout pregnancy. Sessions are adapted through each trimester to reflect the changing demands on your body, with exercise choices and positions modified where needed to keep movement safe, effective and appropriate.

I also draw on corrective exercise principles to help manage common pregnancy-related discomforts, support posture and keep muscles and joints working well, while maintaining the core strength needed to support you through pregnancy and birth.

Postnatal Pilates is a great way to rebuild strength gradually and safely while your body is still recovering from pregnancy and birth. Sessions focus on restoring core and pelvic floor function, rebuilding strength and gradually reintroducing movement.

Exercises can be adapted around abdominal separation, pelvic floor symptoms, posture changes, back or pelvic discomfort, and the physical demands of feeding, carrying and caring for a baby.

As strength and control improve, we can work towards the exercise you want to return to, whether that’s Pilates, running, strength training or group classes.

Babies are very welcome to come along to studio sessions.

Pelvic floor and core recovery

Pregnancy and birth can leave changes that affect how your body feels and functions, including leaking, heaviness, pressure, abdominal separation or a sense that your core and pelvic floor are not working as they once did.

Support can focus on pelvic floor function, abdominal separation, core recovery, breath and pressure management, and rebuilding strength for everyday life and exercise.

The aim is to help you understand what is going on in your body, improve function and feel stronger and more supported as you recover.

A space for specialist support

I’m a Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist, and my work goes beyond simply making exercise “safe” after having a baby.

My training gives me a deeper understanding of how pregnancy and birth can affect the abdominal wall, pelvic floor, breathing mechanics, posture and the way the body manages pressure and load.

That means your sessions can be adapted around what your body actually needs, with strength and load reintroduced progressively as your recovery develops.

This isn’t simply adapted exercise after pregnancy. It’s informed, progressive support for rebuilding strength and function after pregnancy and birth.
