Exercise in pregnancy has come along way - we are finally starting to include pregnant people in research to understand more about the guidance of exercise in pregnancy and the benefits.

It’s pretty evident exercise in pregnancy is absolutely key in managing peri mental health, lowering risk of low back pain, pelvic pain, improving overall health for the mum in lowering pregnancy related health risks. It’s also been shown to not be a risk for miscarriage and has plenty of benefit to the baby too.

However social media noise, your family and friends or people you bump into in the gym every so often love to tell you that what you’re doing is too much - dangerous or not what pregnant person should be doing - but hey it looks like everyone is an expert on their unsolicited opinions or on social media!

I’ve heard many coaches say but it’s up to the person who is pregnant, they should “listen to their body” surely that will tell them what to look out for?

But when someone has exercised all their life what does that actually mean? What are the signs that their body might be telling them hey this is a bit much for us now or I’ve not recovered from that session yesterday?

To also the pelvic health concerns - someone might have had leakage before pregnancy but never said or thought it was abnormal - so if they had it before pregnancy and it’s getting a bit worse in pregnancy surely this is to be expected? - no one is telling you or advising.

There is also some things that aren’t advised or we don’t have significant amount of good quality RCT’s to advise us more robustly on and this is advised in the ebook.

This is not a generic list of exercises - because there is no such thing - it’s not a trimester one do this and trimester three do this because I know having worked with so many pregnant women each pregnancy is unique and individual and what that person might need to the next pregnant person is different.

This booklet also provides up to date guidance on contraindications to exercise and will allow many to advocate and be able to ask more questions to their healthcare provider on their ability to maintain exercise through their pregnancy.

A hill I’ll very much shout about every day -

Pelvic health - women’s health it’s not a sub specialty - it’s integrated into a women’s every day life - if you coach females you are coaching in the pelvic health/women’s health space

It doesn’t just hit us at pregnancy or after birth or when we hit a certain age (although everyone tells us that’s how it works)

Concerns can hit us at any time of our life, at any age, if we didn’t have children of our own, if we are active and fit - the image of pelvic health or pelvic floor dysfunction is not always a new mum or a women in her 60’s although

I’ve had a number of coaches in my DM’s recently or in my messages asking about things like diastasis, core training in pregnancy, women post hysterectomy or a recent diagnosis of pelvic organ prolapse coming into the gym -

As much as I love to get messages and people reaching out im also not an on call service - women need you to understand what these terms are - there is already so much fear around exercise and movement in the pelvic health space as coaches we can support women holistically and with better understanding if we do the education update our clients deserve.

Pelvic health physiotherapy is not as readily available as accessing a coach - and you’re client isnt looking for you to be a pelvic floor physiotherapist - they are looking to exercise and you as the coach is the professional she needs to help get her started on the exercise journey

If I’m not a on call service for coaches how can I support you or your gym?

- my pelvic health mentorship programme (this year has already launched and will hopefully be coming back next year) DM for further info

- consultancy calls - book in a call with me we can do this with your client there or we can do it together to go over concerns or questions you have to help support you with more confidence or better understanding

- I offer in person and virtual appointments and if I think the client needs to see someone in person I can recommend of the squeezy app also has a directory

- I run in person gym workshops for you, your coaching team - my next one coming up is with .gla

A big focus in my clinic will always be getting females back to exercise they love, or introducing exercise to help load the pelvic floor so demands of life become easy.

I’m so grateful that I get to have a job to hear of so many wins, if that’s the mum returning to exercise and reaching her goals later in the post partum period when she felt her body was never going to be capable again, or it’s the women in her late 40/50’s who is an athlete pushing her body hard but leakage holds her back from her full performance abilities, or it’s the women who wants to run free during the week to release stress, sleep better, focus on having nothing on her to do list for 30minutes.

Some women will get back with specific rehab support and progressive overload with hormones, sleep and nutritional support/education or some will need internal devices to give the bladders a bit more support.

Whatever the outcome, you havnt failed from having leakage, but you can make it better.

As coaches and clinicians - we can screen effectively, open the conversation around leakage in exercise and the pelvic floor, we can tell women about pelvic health and pelvic health physios - we can work together to support that women not leaving the gym, not hanging up her running trainers or giving her the support she needs when it feels very scary to even begin ❤️

Pessary training ☑️

I had such an incredible trip down to the beautiful berkhamsted this weekend to attend the introductory to fitting pessary course by and

We had safety and precautions, pessary fitting guidelines. speculum training (to check cervical health) and then into pessary fittings - assessment and fitting of ring and cube.

Then ended with the actual costings of setting up a service ha and the health and safety regulations!

This new service will be absolutely life changing for the right patient and if it works well - it can be trial and error to begin with for some patients but allow many to live day to day with less symptoms or even none to allowing many women to be physical active with no symptoms!

It’s going to be a big service improvement this year along the ultrasound machine so big steps will take time to put into place.

I’m very pleased to say this is the last service improvement I’ll be doing for a while haha

Want to know more about what a vaginal support like a pessary can achieve? Look out for my next slides!

For now I’m going to see how I can reconfigure the clinic to better enhance the space and purchase some speculums 🤣

After over 10years of handing out a general basic post natal leaflet in the post natal wards and then seeing mums in clinic I knew the information we were providing wasn’t enough - nor was the endless booklets working out for mums in the depths of sleep deprivation, nappy changes, feed schedules and just enjoying this new lovable small human for all the hugs.

Booklets don’t work - tbh 1:1 care is where it’s at but at a time this isn’t always accessible.

Second best thing? Talk about what changes might happen before they happen, talk about normal vs abnormal sensations before they happen, talk about scars before they happen - because yes it might seem a lot at the time when we have information we have tools and with tools we can take action - we lessen the fear, decrease the Google or Instagram searches and know real life solutions that will work or we know what to expect so our brains can calm with decreases fear again.

It’s been so lovely to receive messages like this on the masterclass as it’s grown and adapted over the last year and this year it’s bigger then ever with follow up support, group WhatsApp and longer session which means plenty of time for questions, lunch and less rush.

Join me on the 17th may at .glasgow for what I wish every pregnant mum to be knew about pelvic health - supporting their physical changes and in result supporting their mental health in the future

I knew when I worked in the nhs doing pelvic health for over 10years that a massive service improvement was needed. I’m not talking about maternity care - I’m talking about pelvic health outcomes in maternity care.

Preventative care
Pro active care
Empowering and educational care

We used to run antenatal classes - but we didn’t really do these at the right time or really talk about what we help mums with - missed the boat on teaching women to think about pregnancy changes leading to pelvic floor changes and how to proactively minimise these - instead we talked about how to use a birth ball for labour.

We saw women at 37 weeks - the prime time? Before pregnancy and 20weeks into pregnancy (that does mean at 37 weeks you can’t learn something - you absolutely can) however at 20 weeks the pressure starts to increase down and the abdominal wall may start to manage pressure differently - many women start to feel less sick but think I can’t go back to exercise now? I’ve been off for 3 months - many fear exercise with their body changing - because no one advices - Instagram becomes the place for research but influencers have taken over and what truly is evidence based practice rarely gets put across on social media

Bowel health and how to poo effectively, to being able to treat urinary leakage, pelvic pain, pain with in*******se all become symptoms that can be effectively treated in pregnancy to make sure it doesn’t crop up in the post natal period - but what do we get told? It’ll go away once you have the baby…..what if I told you it might actually get worse?

Not to mention the online answer to all pelvic floor concerns - squeeze those muscles down there like you’re holding in a fart and then that’ll solve all those issues? But it’s not as easy as that, - I’d probably be out a job if it was. Plus your pelvic floor doesn’t work like that it’s reactive, it’s flexible, it’s working with other muscle groups, it’s working with your emotions and how you feel.

It’s a bigger picture, but a hidden one and it’s one you deserve to know about

Educate now so you don’t need to later ❤️

The feedback to the pelvic health mentorship has been incredible - I created this mentorship to bridge the gap between clinical assessment and rehab in clinic to function, every day life, gym, fitness.

With 8 coaches signed up already there is only 4 spaces left for this years mentorship with me launching potentially the 3rd one not till next summer.

Women are not small men, they build strength and cardio improvements in similar ways.

However
We are fundamentally extremely different in
Menstrual health
Hormone potential disruption
Pregnancy and childbirth
Menopause and hysterectomy (second most common surgical procedure in women after c-section)
Anatomy differences and pelvic floor issues being more likely in this population

My question to you as a coach -

What would you do if someone asked you

My periods have stopped since increasing my running schedule what does this mean?

Im leaking on those box jumps and I’m not sure if this is normal?

I’m 16 weeks pregnant - it’s my first pregnancy I’m having some pelvic pain and I’ve taken up strength training with you as I got told this helps?

I’m 6 weeks post emergency c-section and I want to come back to the gym - am I safe to return?

I’m 55 and just not recovering aswell as what I used to - why is this? I’ve read alone I need to be doing low intensity training is this correct?

If you’re training women and you’re unsure about myths versus truth or scam versus legit this mentorship programme is for you

I am blown away by the response and interest of my second launch of the pelvic health mentorship programme.

The mentorship 2.0 has opened this week for early bird release and if you’re not on my mailing list and your coach wanting to improve your knowledge around helping women stay active through life transitions you’ll want to be on this list.

6 incredible coaches and pre and post natal trainers have signed up with 2 clinicians who offer classes and post natal checks are coming on board which means 8 spaces have now been taken of the 15 open! That’s over half 😳🤯

Due to demand and some coaches not being able to commit to the full programme but wanting to learn about up to date evidence and research in specific areas - I’ve got a new offering coming soon 👀

13/04/2026

What got me emotional today -

THIS 👆

Not only was this lovely feedback to get it was seeing a coach who has put all her energy to a mentorship programme that I questioned over for months come out of the mentorship and have her own journey or learning and reflection.

Who did I think I was? Launching my own mentorship group?! Could I do this? Did I have the time? Can I become a mentor?

Imposter syndrome usually sits you down, makes you go quiet, makes you question your own capabilities and this time I did it anyways….

Because why? ❓

Because I am so passionate about keeping women exercising, getting women to take up exercise, making exercise accessible to every women no matter what chapter she is on, but importantly to not let pelvic health concerns stand in her way.

Quieten fear, myths and stigma. Create coaches that don’t sell to those fears or harness those myths. But to create holistic coaching - adaptable, conversational, inquisitive, supportive.

That’s the kind of coaching that will support pelvic health and it’s the kind of support I very much bring in to my clinic

The next cohort kicks off 8th June

6 modules over 6 months
Monthly calls to network, chat, discuss, bring learnings or questions
To work as one cohort and learn from each other
1:1 mentorship conversations or client questions
One year access
Extra learning from incredible professionals supporting women through their lifetime ❤️
