Question 1

Is it safe to exercise during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes-when guided by a qualified coach, exercise during pregnancy can improve strength, posture, energy, and mood. I tailor each session to you trimester, symptoms and medical guidance.

Question 2

Can I have my baby with me during sessions?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I travel to you to train you in your own home so you are welcome to train with your baby.

Question 3

What if I've had a C-section or complicated birth?

Accepted Answer

I specialise in postnatal recovery including strengthening your core after a C section. We'll start gently, focusing on core reconnection, pelvic floor, and gradual strength building - always at your pace.

Question 4

Do I need to be cleared by my GP or midwife?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For postnatal clients, I recommend waiting until your 6-8 week check-up (or 10-12 weeks post C-section) and getting clearance before starting. For pregnancy, I may ask for a quick note from your midwife if needed.

Question 5

I've never exercised before can I still join?

What should I bring to the session?

Just wear comfy clothes, Bring water and anything your baby may need. I provide all the equipment.

Can I message you between sessions?
