Empowering Change

Pregnancy & Post Natal Exercise

The sessions are a mixture of indoor and outdoor depending on the season and the classes run in 6 week blocks. Run as a small group or one on one.

Exercise during pregnancy
This session provides a safe exercise programme to maintain health, fitness and well being during your pregnancy. In a carefully managed environment, you will also work on maintaining optimal posture, joint mobility and energy levels, helping you cope with the demands of labour and speed up your return to fitness post-birth.

Post Natal Exercise
A progressive group or one to one programme designed to help you improve/regain fitness, reach your personal goals and help your body to adapt to the added demands of motherhood. Helen gives special attention to abdominal separation, pelvic floor and anatomical alignment that may have changed due to compensations made during pregnancy.

During pregnancy, excessive pressure and load on the the body can cause non-optimal alignment. After you’ve had your baby, in some cases, abdominal separation may be prolonged and can create core instability, pelvic floor and body alignment issues. The 7 stage whole body technique used by Helen will help re-align abdominals and stabilise the body, supporting your future fitness programmes and activities.

The group session will also give you the opportunity to get fit, with your baby happily tucked up in their buggy, whilst meeting other new mums.

Just wanted to say how grateful I am to Helen who has worked with me for the past 6 months, after the birth of my 4th child, and helped me lose 10 cms off my hips and 10cm off my waist. I am feeling rather pleased with my efforts but it wouldn’t have been possible without Helen’s guidance and support not only with exercise but also food choices and motivation. My body is in the best shape it has even been.
