✨ I always cry watching Ubellas makeovers ✨

Not because of the beautiful makeup (Ubella is truly amazing though), but because of the moment women see themselves again.

So many of us spend years slowly losing pieces of who we are while pouring everything into others—our children, partners, parents, friends. We become tired, unseen, emotionally stretched, and physically drained. We forget our own reflection.

And then, in the mirror after the makeover, there’s this pause. Almost as if she doesn’t quite recognise herself at first. Then comes the flicker of recognition: the beauty, strength and light that was always there. Just hidden under the weight of years of invisible caring, unrecognised and unappreciated work.

For peri- and menopausal women especially, the feeling of invisibility can be overwhelming. But you are not lost—you are still here, radiant and worthy of being seen.

💙 You are not invisible. Take up space, take your time, let yourself glow 💙

✨ Rebuilding Pelvic Strength After Birth & Episiotomy with MAPLe ✨

Childbirth is a powerful journey, but for many women, recovery can be challenging—especially after an episiotomy or perineal trauma. 💙

The MAPLe system from offers a safe, precise, and effective way to support pelvic floor healing and recovery:

🌸 Targeted Assessment – MAPLe measures activity in different layers of the pelvic floor, helping identify specific areas of weakness or overactivity.

🌸 Gentle, Guided Training – Biofeedback allows you to see your muscle activity in real time, ensuring safe activation without strain.

🌸 Restores Function & Confidence – Gradual strengthening helps improve continence, reduce discomfort, and restore sexual wellbeing.

🌸 Personalised Recovery – Every postnatal body is unique—MAPLe helps tailor rehabilitation to your exact needs.

Your pelvic floor deserves the same care and attention as the rest of your body after birth. 🕊️
With the right support, recovery is not just possible—it’s empowering. 💪✨

📍 At , I use MAPLe to support women in reclaiming strength, comfort, and confidence after childbirth.

✨ Kicking off something new with my crew! ✨

Me, my husband and our 3 teenage boys have started the 2-week kickstart from Jamie Oliver’s new book Eat Yourself Healthy. The recipes look absolutely delicious – packed with colour, flavour and loads of fresh veg 🌱🥑🍅.

As a pelvic health physiotherapist, I spend so much of my time encouraging women to look after their bodies from the inside out. Nutrition, movement, rest – it all matters. So it feels important for me to walk the talk at home too, and show my boys how powerful healthy choices can be. This book felt like a perfect way for us to hit reset together as a family.

But here’s the thing… my food bill this week was noticeably higher than usual. At Tesco, there were hardly any savings to be had on fresh fruit and veg. Instead, all the offers were on the ultra-processed, sugar-laden foods. It feels so backwards. Families trying to eat better are penalised, while the cheap options are often the least healthy.

This has really opened my eyes to how tough it is for families on a tight budget to access decent, nourishing food. And that shouldn’t be the case.

– I’d love to see you use your amazing platform to push the government and supermarkets to prioritise fresh, healthy, affordable food for all families. You’ve done so much already for school meals… now let’s make fresh produce the affordable choice. 🍎🥦

Who’s with me? 💪

✨ Stepping outside my comfort zone ✨

I’ve recently joined the POGP Journal Committee – a chance to push myself, do something different, and grow new skills.

Yesterday I flew down to London for my very first meeting, and it was such an inspiring start. I feel privileged to be surrounded by an incredible group of pelvic health physiotherapists, all working together to share the latest evidence-based practice with our profession.

Excited for what’s ahead and grateful for the opportunity to keep learning and contributing 💙

✨ A busy day in clinic today fitting both ring and cube pessaries ✨

Pessaries are such a powerful, conservative option for the management of prolapse. For many women, the right fit can be truly life-changing—restoring comfort, confidence, and quality of life without the need for surgery.

I feel so privileged to support women on their pelvic health journey and to see the immediate difference a pessary can make. 💙

👉 If you’ve been told you have a prolapse, remember there are choices. Conservative management, like pessaries, can give you back freedom in your day-to-day life.

Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh or exercise is incredibly common—especially after pregnancy, menopause, or high-impact sports.
But common doesn’t mean you have to live with it.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) happens when the pelvic floor muscles and supportive tissues are weakened or stretched, reducing their ability to keep the urethra closed under pressure.

✨ Here’s the good news:
There are effective ways to manage and even resolve SUI—pelvic floor muscle training, lifestyle changes, and innovative supports like the Contrelle® Activgard.

🔹 What is Contrelle® Activgard?
A soft, comfortable bladder support that’s worn inside the va**na. It gently lifts and supports the urethra, reducing or stopping leaks during movement—so you can stay active without worry.
It’s reusable, non-surgical, and can be fitted to your body’s needs.

If you’re experiencing leaks—please know:
💙 You’re not alone
💙 You don’t have to accept it as “normal”
💙 Help is available

👩‍⚕️ Speak to a pelvic health physiotherapist to explore your options.
Your bladder deserves care just as much as the rest of your body.
