Yesterday saw our first Mums and Bubs Reformer 2.0 - We have given this well loved program we run a glow up ✨✌🏼

It can feel so difficult as a Mum to carve out time for yourself, with many believing you have to be all giving and selfless, pouring every ounce of your energy into your baby and everyone but yourself.

Trust me, this doesn’t define a good Mum & you absolutely will burn out.

This new holistic model of our program focuses on supporting Mums to thrive through motherhood not just survive. Positive mental health and physical wellbeing needs a multifaceted approach and needs to be something that’s invested in as a non negotiable so that Mums are well.

Our first session welcomed our new (and often nervous) Mamas into the beautiful studio here at

Our group chat and information email had broken the ice and our Mums were taken through an orientation prior to their first workout- Safety and technique is always Key.

Our group focus is never about ‘bounce back’ 🫣 or a weight loss focus… that will come anyway as a byproduct of movement, less stress & healthy habits.

I love getting in my bub cuddles while our Mums got in their workout- it’s comforting for many of our new Mums knowing baby is close by with an extra set of hands to help out.

The lovely Katie took us through a mindfulness exercise at the end of session. We looked at individual goals for the feeling we hope to achieve by the end of this program.
We relaxed with a beautiful meditation sound bath to finish - honestly, it was bliss 🧘‍♀️

Our coffee catch up is a huge hit with our Mamas- tired Mums need their caffeine !
Who doesn’t love adult conversation over great coffee.

We’re so excited to see this group progress over coming weeks and friendships bloom.

Connection. movement. Mindfulness. Support. Accountability. Encouragement.
Empowerment.
What a great recipe for feeling good & that’s what us Mums deserve 🫶🏼🙏🏼💕

After successfully running many Mums and Bubs Reformer groups over the last 3+ years and supporting hundreds of mums to return to/ start exercise postpartum, we have decided our group program needs a lil glow up ✨

As we know, health and wellness requires a holistic approach looking at many elements to achieve our goals.
With this in mind we have decided to include a few other components to additionally support our mums on their journey to a healthier, happier mind and body 🧘‍♀️🙏🏼

As mum we often neglect our own health and well-being while we attend to everyone else around us, often reaching breaking point before we reach out for support or prioritise ourselves.

We know that in order to have a healthy happy baby, we must first prioritise our own physical and mental well-being.

Our next six week Mums and Bubs reformer group will see areas like mindset nutrition and a wellness nature walk included. Of course our weekly movement through our reformer workout is at the start of each session, followed by connecting over coffee with like-minded mamas.

We know that connection is key to preserving positive mental health postpartum 👌🏻🧠💕

Simply getting out of the house around supportive women is all you need sometimes add in empowerment, zero judgment, caffeine and other boss babes =💥 🔥

We are so excited to launch this new package to our Mum’s, which will see you thrive not just survive on your motherhood journey.

Yesterday we enjoyed a wonderful session outside in nature 🌲 🍂

I love getting outdoors. Bubs were rugged up looking adorable in their winter Woolies.
A much needed moment to relax, enjoy each other’s company over a 🥂 and get some cute pics 📸 .by.nature_photography of Mums and their little ones.

I can’t wait to see these natural unfiltered shots 😍

Just because she carries it well doesn’t mean it’s not heavy!

Life recently has been crazy busy, we’re currently going through some huge changes, which is beyond exciting but also busy, overwhelming and stressful.

The last few years have seen me hustle hard. As a person whatever I do is heartfelt and I give my all in whatever work I do, placing very high expectations on myself.
Small business isn’t for the faint hearted, it requires so much invisible labour, has no limits on working hours and as the sole owner and facilitator all operations fall on you as the driving force behind everything.
I’m extremely proud of what I’ve created and built from the ground up, but honestly I’m tired.
I’ve been running at an unmanageable pace for so long by myself.
Working two extra jobs as well as striving to be a good Mum to my two children who are both neurodiverse, be a half decent wife, attempt to have some kind of social life once in a while, care for our pets, attend to the house & keep myself physically and mentally healthy! With very little external support. Seriously, WTF!
Operating at such a high level for so long becomes normal, it becomes an expectation & often it’s the case that we only seek support at breaking point- trust me when I say I’ve been very close on several occasions….

Short story long… (always the way with me! )
I’m not prepared to continue to push myself to the very edge of my limits to see what it takes for me to break..

With the impending big changes and huge transitions approaching I’m taking an extended break these holidays, a breather that is well overdue.
I have to practice what I constantly preach to others and show my children that prioritising my needs is as important as others, and I am worthy of a well deserved rest.

My Mother’s Group next term are temporarily on hold.
I’m undecided exactly how things will look moving forward, change is exciting and I’m pumped to make some very positive changes both for myself as well as, of course for my children and family.

The last few weeks have been beyond wild.

On our return from Fiji 5 weeks ago we decided that we were going to make some big changes for us as a family, changes that would positively benefit our life and create a reduction in financial pressure, allowing for a more peaceful slower pace of life.

Since then the universe has decided to throw a whole heap of curveballs.

In everything I do, I’m authentic and I will openly share our reality, why do so many of us feel we should suffer in silence and carry the heavy weight of life’s burdens alone?

When we signed to sell our property, the following day Ed was made redundant, perfect timing right?!
😫
I cannot explain the tremendous impact this has had on us at an already stressful and expensive life changing time.

Not only are we moving, We are now navigating life with zero income and no redundancy payout!!
🤯
This is by no means a pity post this is just where we’re at right now and the excitement of our move is overshadowed by our current financial hardship.

Of course we will get through this, we know it is temporary and when we come out the other side we will be absolutely where we intended to be however the curve balls have been beyond anything we imagined.

Why am I sharing this? I’m not sure, I don’t know, I guess really it’s to show that you never know what people are going through and if life is hard for you right now, you aren’t alone, you don’t need to suffer in silence.

We are hard-working hustlers and working classes as f**k, we will get through this and the grass will absolutely be greener.

Some changes aren’t through choice, they’re forced and the universe is telling us that they were needed and well overdue.

If you see me in a manic stressed state in the next few weeks absolutely know that I am fuelled by minimal sleep, copious amounts of coffee and my ADHD hyper focus on this move and outcome is absolutely the only thing that’s getting me through right now for me and my family.

I’m super thankful for those who have showed, up reached out and provided support, especially my family ♥️

We got this! 👊🏻🙏🏻

Our house is listed tomorrow…. Let’s go!!!!!

This week, my graduate Mothers Group attended an Info session and centre tour at Greenleaves ELC

Considering care for your child is such a huge decision. This looks different for everyone, but for the majority it can be overwhelming and anxiety provoking the very thought of leaving your precious little one in someone else’s care.

My Mums and Bubs got to visit Green leaves ELC on Wednesday. This is the centre my little boy has attended since nursery and he is currently in his second year of kindy ( yes I will have a preppie next year 🫣🥹)
The Centre management team did a wonderful job of explaining everything from CCS, their enrolment processes, the centres philosophy and education programs, sickness, transitions, incursions, family involvement, staff development… It was such a beautiful, relaxed session and so insightful for my Mums when considering care options.
The tour of the centre was fantastic & I just loved watching my Mums get so much value out of this session.
I remember how overwhelmed I was when I was first considering Daycare for my child well over a decade ago.
Green leaves has been more than a care provider and educational setting for my Child, they have been our village, a huge support to us when we have little support and my only family here is my sister.
My tip when looking for a care provider for your child- trust your mum instinct, if something doesn’t feel right listen to that feeling. There are many things to consider- Lots of centres now are so aesthetically pleasing into the eye but honestly this is not the be all & end all.
For me it’s how happy the educators are in their role. How well the management team value the Work the educators do and the connections between educators and the child, inclusivity and diversity and the adjustments made so that your child feels secure and safe in their environment- we’ve experienced all these things at Greenleaves.
Graduation will be bittersweet but we still have a little while until that just yet 🥹♥️

Yesterday we enjoyed a wonderful session in our Mothers group 🫶🏻

It was fabulous to finally meet Julie-Anne into my space & group & she arrived bringing me ☕️ a sure sign that us working together is going to be great! 🙏🏻🫶🏻
