As a MumSafe Trainer, my focus is on creating space for you to rebuild both your strength AND confidence.

In October last year, I had a wonderful group of mums start training with me in me Mums and Bubs exercise sessions. After 3 months of training, this term I’m really noticing the difference in their strength and the confidence in their body that it brings.

I’d love for you to experience how you can regain strength and confidence in your body, especially if you have recently had a baby.

I offer outdoor mums and bubs exercise in Jervis Bay, as well as online postnatal programs for mums to do in their own time at home.

Send me a message and we can talk about what supported movement could look like for you.

We always have a giggle in sessions when I remind everyone to relax their butt!

Some mums carry tension without realising it, not because anything is wrong, but because the body has quietly adapted over time.

This might be tension in the butt, tummy (clenching), shoulders, back, jaw or anywhere else...

As a MumSafe Trainer, I see how much can shift when movement feels supported rather than pushed. When the body feels understood, breathing often becomes easier, movement feels safer and confidence starts to return before strength ever becomes the focus.

If this resonates and you would like support moving in a way that respects where your body is right now, I offer exercise options both face to face and online.

You are welcome to send me a DM and let's find a way to get you moving in a supported way.

I’m Nikki and I specialize in strength training for mums. I’m a mum too, so I understand how hard it can be to train, but I also know how beneficial it is for your mind and body to train!

I’m a MumSafe trainer, which means I am qualified in safe return to exercise (pre and postnatal), work alongside women’s health Physios, am insured and registered with AusActive and am committed to ongoing professional learning on all things women’s health.

Having worked in the fitness industry for over 20 years now, I’m familiar with working with women where they are at in their body.

Need to change exercises due to injury? No problems!

Pregnant - I can adjust!

Not 100% feeling it that day? I have options to support you.

Wanting to push hard that day? Cool - we can do that too!

Above all, I’m here to help you grow stronger and more confident in your body!

From 1:1 sessions, small group strength sessions, mums and bubs, online programming and even a strength for running program, I have options that will support you.

Send me a message and let’s chat further about how we can work together!

As a MumSafe™ trainer, this is something I see often. Many mums come into movement spaces carrying pressure, old expectations and the belief that exercise needs to hurt or exhaust them to be worthwhile.

Your body doesn’t respond best to force, it responds to care, consistency and feeling supported.

Movement can be a place to reconnect with your body, to listen to it and to move in ways that respect where you are right now, rather than where you think you should be.

You don’t need to push through pain and you don’t need to earn rest. You’re allowed to move at a pace that feels steady and supportive for you.

If you are looking for guidance from a trainer who understands a woman’s body and prioritises safety, confidence and long-term wellbeing, send me a message and we can talk about whether it’s a good fit.

I have big plans for 2026 and I’m looking to bring another trainer on to help support even more women to build strength and confidence in their body!

Ideally you will have:
- a passion for helping and supporting women
- a cert 4 in Fitness
- pre and postnatal qualifications (or be willing to obtain)

Initially this position is for 1-2 sessions per week, with an opportunity to grow with the business.

Sessions could be between Nowra - Ulladulla (we can work with your location & schedule).

If this sounds like you, sounds like who you want to be or sounds like someone you know,
Email info@body4mindconnections.com.au with subject line: I’m Your New Trainer!

Please include your CV and a few words on why you’d love to join the Body 4 Mind Connections team.

Today is World Cancer Day.

A moment to pause and acknowledge the many ways cancer touches lives, families, and communities.

It’s a reminder of the importance of compassion, understanding and support for those navigating diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and life beyond cancer.

Today we hold space for everyone affected, in all the ways that experience can look and feel.

Are you wanting to start exercise but unsure if what you are doing is the safe thing for your body?
Have you struggled with exercise in the past due to yours or others expectations?
Do you feel like you already have so much you are trying to mentally carry right now, that adding one more thing will be too much?

I get it. That’s why I strive to create a safe, supportive exercise environment. A place where you can show up as you are and move in a way that feels right for you.

I hav only 7 spots remaining for face to face exercise this term:
Mums & Bubs Fridays 10am (4 spots)
Wednesday gym sessions 3.45pm (2 spots)
Wednesday gym sessions 5.00pm (1 spot)

If you know you want to exercise and are looking for support, send me a message. Let’s start a conversation to see how I can best support you.

Your very first training sessions can feel uncomfortable. Not knowing what to expect, how hard you will be pushed, will I be shouted out? (the answer to that last one is NO, that's not my style at all!).

When women walk into a training space, they bring more with them than we often realise regardless of whether it is their first sessions, 10th session or 100th.

It’s not just their body. It’s the mental load they’re carrying, the interrupted sleep, the history they have with movement and the quiet pressure to keep up even on days when slowing down would feel more supportive.

This is something I see often as a MumSafe™ trainer - not a lack of effort or a lack of motivation.

But a steady kind of showing up that doesn’t always get named or acknowledged.

Movement was never meant to be another place to prove yourself. It can be a place to reconnect with your body, feel supported and move in ways that respect where you are right now.

As we head into our first week of Term 1, please know that we serve women who are looking for support, we understand a woman’s body and we meet you where you are.

Welcome back to our returning clients, our new clients and those that are trialling their first session with us this week.

If this feels like the kind of space you’ve been looking for, send me a message. We have only a few spots remaining for Term 1.

Some mums don’t realise they have a prolapse because the early signs are so subtle.
Heaviness, pressure, wobbly pelvic floor muscles or feeling “different” at the end of the day can be easy to ignore when life is already full.

But you’re not meant to figure this out alone. With the right support, a pelvic health physio and an exercise professional who specialises in female exercise in your corner, prolapse becomes something you can understand and manage with confidence, not fear.

If you’ve noticed any changes and want guidance that feels safe and supportive,
please get in touch and I can guide you towards the best support for you.

Send me a message and let's chat!


26/01/2026

Many mums feel heaviness, pressure or “something just feels different” without realising these can be early prolapse symptoms.
You’re not alone. It’s not something that you just have to put up with now that you are a mum. Your body is asking for support and support is available!

In all sessions at Body 4 Mind Connections, we guide you on symptoms that you may feel during certain phases of exercises. When you might feel symptoms and what the next steps are from there (whether it is a slight adjustment of the movement or referral for further support).

If you want guidance that feels safe and personalised, we have a few spots remaining fo Term 1.

Send me a message to save your spot.
