A mum helping other mums
Hi, I am Dr MJ, your go-to health & fitness coach if you are pregnant or have bubs/kids. I have trained many pregnant mums over the years and exercised through both my pregnancies. Putting research into practice, I create opportunities for mums to exercise while keeping kids close by. When I am not training mums, I write & publish information such as the exercise & pregnancy guidelines for the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) alongside other researchers.
As a mum of two young children, I have first-hand experience on the challenges we face on a daily basis and I understand how hard it is for us to be active, feel good and lose weight. Over the years, I have come to realise that mums need a different type of approach to health & fitness. An approach that is simple and DOABLE around our crazy busy schedules. I am a big advocate of being active around and with the kids because including the kids on our health & fitness journey helps them to learn how to look after themselves in future and also motivates us as mums to keep on being healthy.
Why do I feel so strongly about helping mums be fit and active in pregnancy & motherhood? Because I know about all the great benefits for you and your family and I just want to share it with as many mums as I can. But on a more personal note, my mum had breast cancer when I was a child and no child should have to watch their mother go through the cancer treatment. I am lucky though, my mum is still around to nag at me and I love it. I am not saying that if you are fit and active, you can avoid all the big scary disease out there and live to 100. But being fit and active can certainly reduce the risk of any diseases so that you can have one less thing to worry about. Being fit & active is as much about reducing your risk of health problems as it is about feeling confidence and happy with your self & your body. So, how do you know you will get excellent care from me? I am an accredited exercise scientist with a PhD in the area of pregnancy & exercise, and over 4 years of experience providing exercise training to pregnant women. I have been in the fitness industry for over 5 years as a Personal Trainer and group fitness leader prior to my PhD. Credentials aside, its simply because I care.
