The benefits of staying active in pregnancy

Growing a baby is no small thing! Pregnancy and birth are huge accomplishments for your body, and I am passionate about supporting you to stay active throughout so that your experience and recovery are the best they can possibly be. Staying active during pregnancy has so many incredible benefits, including:

• Improved fitness

• Increased energy

• Reduced back and pelvic pain

• Preparation for the physical demands of labour and looking after a baby

• Decreased risk of pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia and pregnancy-induced hypertension

• Faster recovery after labour

• Prevention and management of urinary incontinence

• Improved circulation

• Stress reduction and improved mood

• Better sleep

• Having fun!*

Classes on offer

I have worked in the fitness industry for many years and have lots of experience supporting pregnant and new mamas to stay active. I am currently offering 1:1 sessions either in person or on Zoom. In private classes I am able to tailor the class completely to you and your needs, and am more than happy to connect with your physiotherapist, obstetrician, midwife, or other health professionals to discuss your needs and make sure I am able to support you.

Please note that I require medical clearance from your care provider before commencing classes. I can advise you on fitness but I am not able to offer medical advice. If I am unable to support you or your needs are outside my scope, I will refer you onto someone who can help you.
