The gals are on summer break 🌞🌊🤍

Extreme fire danger days means we leave as our bushy little home has narrow streets & one main road. So we packed a bag & booked a last minute hotel. I was struggling to find somewhere that would let all five of us be in the one room, so I hand balled it to Josh to sort out and of course he finds this absolute gem. Our stay at was hands-down some of the best service I’ve experienced and the touches were incredible, so beautifully designed.

This has nothing to do with movement or exercise, so a bit of a random post from me, but when you find something good you share it. We knew our town would be okay but we’re also aware that bushfires can change, FAST. We tried to make this a fun little adventure for the kids, but our eldest was (aware) and I think the girls at the hotel could sense his worry. We got there early, they took our bags and sent us straight to the pool to spend the morning there, then when our room was ready (3 hours early) - we discovered they had set up a treasure hunt for the boys 🥹 It was so cute, everyone who worked here was so sweet and attentive! I’m no influencer (don’t worry I won’t quit my day job lol) but I honestly feel like good hotels are few and far between these days so I’m absolutely recommending this gem; a place to book for birthday or anniversary weekends, somewhere to stay for the Aus Open or if you’re ever coming to visit Melbourne.

Just having staff who smile at you, who check if you need anything when they walk by or (my favourite) not only acknowledge your kids but interact & play with them makes all the difference. The beds were damn comfy, the coffee was good, the food was awesome, the pool, the sauna…it was all just great & I simply thought I would share.

That is all 🫶🏻

A pliable incision 🙌🏼

Stuck tight tissue results in a loss of normal mobility to connective tissue. When we lose this glide it affects our capacity to engage muscles. This is NOT good news when it comes to muscles of the core. Our c-section incision is so intimately connected to our psoas, diaphragm & lower back too, so we absolutely want FUNCTION here!

As well as feeling good, scar massage & therefore incision pliability makes a HUGE difference to the aesthetics of our scar too. A rigid stick scar may result in deep pulling in which = c-section shelf.

Incision pliability is a must when it comes to cesarean recovery because it doesn’t just impact superficial tissues, but benefits our fascia, muscles, nerves, lymph & blood flow too. This is so essential when it comes to the health of our pelvis, our core, our breathing and deep muscles of the belly & hips.

Cesarean recovery timeline:
0>6 weeks: rest, scar sensitisation, diaphragmatic breathing & rehab movement
6>12 weeks: scar massage, silicon therapy, postnatal core
Scar massage can look like: dry massage, oil massage, gua sha, acupuncture, cupping & indirect massage of surrounding muscles too!

My goal is to get as much pliability back to my incision as I can, continue my weekly core work & soften habitual tension that creeps into the tissues of my pelvis, hips & lower back during this postnatal season.

My hope with sharing cesarean education content is for you to 1) recover as best as you can & 2) to never feel alone or lost like I did after my first birth.

The first class all the way through to the final class of The Prenatal Program 🥹

If you’re having a baby in 2026 can I send a quiet loving nudge to do this with me. It’s like having a sister or best friend in your pocket the entire way through your pregnancy.

I hit record the day after we found out I was pregnant & filmed the final class of the program two days before having my daughter. This 35 week long program is one of the most supportive, comprehensive, achievable programs out there & honestly one of the most special experiences of my life.

Pregnancy is hard. But you can do hard things. I hope this program supports you through one of the most transformative experiences of your life.

The Prenatal Program - join via the 30-day trial (which is currently free until Jan 2nd 2026)

A post devoted to diastasis-recti 🤍

The world of social media has us hitting save on 20 second reels that promises a solution or quick fix for abdominal separation. And honestly that content is what performs better. But I can’t do it.

Because there is no ‘one exercise’ that helps diastasis. It is such a complex combination of factors; some that are in our control and some that aren’t. And that’s what frustrates me the most. Fitness influencers who promise ‘this fixed my diastasis’ which insinuates that most women either a) aren’t doing the work to help heal their bodies postpartum or b) fools women into thinking into thinking diastasis recti is ONLY an abdominal problem.

Diastasis-recti recovery is a FULL BODY concern.

For some, our abdominal separation closes over time & the gap is minimal. For others, the adaptation of your tissues widening for pregnancy doesn’t fully close. BUT, I want you to know that just because the ‘gap’ doesn’t fully close, doesn’t mean you can’t have a strong & good functioning core system.

Closing the gap is important. But the depth & therefore tissue density between the gap matters more. Because this tells us so much more globally about the individual ie their breath mechanics, their ability to manage load & disrepute pressure properly.

We are fooled into believing closing the gap and aesthetically returning the abdominals to how they looked prior to pregnancy is ‘postnatal rehab’. It’s what you’ll see most often on social media because aesthetics sells. You are rightfully allowed to mourn or miss how your body looked before having babies. This is one of the biggest heartbreaks when it comes to abdominal separation; our stomachs look & feel so foreign to what we once knew & as hard as you may work, your stomach may be forever changed.

I know this post may feel frustrating. But I hope it’s liberating because there is so much we can do to support the healing of our abdominals post pregnancy. This is why I’ll have you breathing correctly, understanding postural concerns, increasing tissue density, releasing tension AND strengthening the core in The Postnatal Program, because DR is a FULL BODY CONCERN 🫶🏻

Over the last few days I’ve seen the most beautiful Christmas photos and it’s such a joy to see people celebrating, happy, together with their families & putting in so much effort during this special time.

But I’m posting these photos to remind us all (even myself) that your Christmas is still special if you didn’t purchase a new outfit for the day (or even get dressed nor showered 🙋🏼‍♀️) if your kids don’t have matching Christmas pyjamas, if you don’t have fancy decorations, if your wrapping paper is all mismatched or you didn’t devour a lavish seafood lunch.

I looked at our Christmas tree at one point a couple of weeks ago and it honestly looked nothing like the trees I’ve seen on social media lately. I went to buy new decorations then stopped because I remember my mum kept this sh*tty handmade pasta decoration I made in kinder and she loved it so much. I made sure all the boys handmade decorations were visible right at the front of the tree.

Both my parents asked the other day what my favourite thing I got from Santa growing up was. It honestly took me a while to remember anything, but the stand outs were the cardboard cubby-house we could colour in & my brother and I camped out in it that night. The barbie Baywatch car I wanted for months and months. A pink and white bike with streamers on the handle-bars.

What I remember most as a kid was how Christmas Day felt. I don’t remember a single thing any of us wore. I don’t recall our house being spotless, in fact our house was the typical 90’s cluttered lived in home. When mum and dad set up big tables for family and friends to join us for lunch, we had odd ball glasses, some chairs from inside, some front outside. It was a mess. A beautiful mess.

Don’t get me wrong, I do love how beautifully people make this special day, and how talented some people are at creating the most gorgeous table-settings or parties or how magical their homes look.

This is just a wee reminder that you can be the luckiest person in the world and that may look spectacularly and gloriously average.

Just remember what matters most this time of year 🤍
