I am a former midwife with a passion for health and well being and have 2 young children of my own. I am from South Africa and love being in the outdoors.

 

I trained and worked as a midwife in Edinburgh, married an Englishman and the rest is history!

 

As a midwife I saw the positive impact and difference for women that exercise and good nutrition made through their whole journey of going through pregnancy, coping in labour and postnatal recovery as well as in my own journey. Not just physically but mentally and emotionally too. 

 

My vision is for women to enjoy exercise that is appropriate for pregnancy and post birth, restoring and strengthening their bodies and very importantly taking care of your core and pelvic floor health. Seeing women significantly reduce and relieve the symptoms that can come with pregnancy and the changes in their bodies, both through pregnancy and post birth, how ever long ago since they had their baby/babies. Too see all women find confidence in their pelvic health again. 

​

At the heart of my business my desire is to see women connect with one another and encourage one another in their journey, building new friendships. Having that support network through pregnancy and those early days, especially as a new mum, makes all the difference in your emotional and mental well being. Someone to get out for fresh air and a brisk walk with and a good old natter can do wonders :).

​

Your body goes through huge changes during pregnancy and postnatally, your body is different and I want women to embrace that, celebrate that and see it flourish through that. 

 

I’ve always had a passion for good nutrition and it's benefits to our well being and mood. Through my own pregnancy and postnatal journeys and developing intolerances I have worked hard researching and experimenting to find wholesome foods that work for my body. Very importantly that work for us as a family, 2 kids who are fussy eaters with allergies and determination to cook one meal for everyone!  I feel it is important to enjoy food and for food prep to be practical and work around your family.

​

I started my journey qualifying to provide exercise and nutrition for pregnant and postnatal mum's  by gaining my Level 2 gym instructor certificate, Level 3 pre and postnatal exercise provider certificate, nutrition in pregnancy and postnatal certificate and Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification. I now work with women of all ages.

 

I've continued my training with Burrell Education as a Holistic Core Restore® coach providing recovery and strength programs for women through all life phases restoring core and pelvic floor health. Burrell Education are leaders in Women's Wellness. I trained in pregnancy and postnatal remedial massage and scar therapy massage through Burrell Education. Bringing relief to aches and pains, improve healing and movement post surgery and soothing your nervous system. I am a qualified sports massage therapist and love providing massage therapy to see women uncurling, destressing and finding great relief from pain and tension in their bodies through a holistic approach.
