Which tells you everything you need to know about the gap that exists in our standard fitness education.
After I had first baby, I found myself doing what most mums do, piecing things together from Instagram, asking my GP questions they weren't really trained to answer and guessing when it felt okay to push harder and I was already an exercise professional. I had qualifications and I still felt completely underprepared for what my own body needed.
Then one of my best friends told me about her experience returning to exercise. How her PT had her doing exercises that her body wasn't ready for...that then contributed towards a prolapse.
That experience was uncomfortable in the best possible way, because it made me want to understand it properly not just for myself, but for every mum who would ever train with me.
Becoming a MumSafe Trainer meant learning more, getting a proper pre and postnatal certification and the right insurance, building a real relationship with a pelvic health physio. Committing to ongoing education so I'm not working from information that's 5 years out of date.
It changed how I coach and it changed how I think about what mums actually need from a trainer versus what most of them are getting.
Honestly, we don't know what we don't know. Just like my friend, you deserve someone who got the education, understands the journey and is fully prepared to support you - that's what I'm here for.
