In my nine years as a Mummy MOT practitioner, I’ve learned a lot -from listening to women’s stories, supporting their recoveries, and navigating those big “Is this normal?” questions.

Here are 9 things I want every woman to know:
1️⃣ Leaking is common, but not something you have to live with.
2️⃣ You deserve to exercise without fear.
3️⃣ A tummy gap is not a sign your body is broken.
4️⃣ Pain with s*x is not normal - and there’s help for it.
5️⃣ You can ask any question, no matter how small it feels.
6️⃣ Your pelvic floor matters at every stage of life, not just after birth.
7️⃣ Postnatal recovery doesn’t have an expiry date.
8️⃣ Being strong is about more than just your core.
9️⃣ You’re never alone — there’s support for you.

Which of these resonates with you most? Drop the number in the comments. 👇

⭐️9 years as a certified Mummy MOT practitioner……..⭐️

When people hear Mummy MOT, they often think it’s just about a tummy gap or pelvic floor check… but it’s so much more than that.

Over the past nine years, women have come to see me for things like:
💬 “I’m worried about my pelvic floor.”
💬 “I don’t know what exercise is safe to start again.”
💬 “I’ve got this low back pain that won’t go away.”
💬 “Sex feels painful- is that normal?”
💬 “I just want to know everything is okay.”

And here’s the thing I want every woman to know:
There is no such thing as a silly, stupid, or embarrassing question.
If it matters to you, it matters to me.

The Mummy MOT is a safe space where nothing is off-limits — whether you want to understand your body better, talk about your pelvic floor, or just have someone truly listen to your worries.

Because your body deserves care, not just after birth, but for years afterwards too.

If you’ve got questions about your recovery, send me a message or book a Mummy MOT — no topic is off-limits

This month marks nine years since I qualified as a Mummy MOT practitioner. Nine years of sitting with women in some of their most vulnerable moments — laughing, crying, and everything in between.

What I love most?
Creating a safe space where no topic is off-limits.
From worrying about pain with s*x, to worrying if your tummy gap will ever change, to asking, “Is this leaking normal?” — you can bring it all.

To every woman who’s shared her story with me over the years: thank you. You’ve trusted me with conversations that many of us were never taught were okay to have, and that trust means everything.

Here’s to breaking taboos, one appointment at a time.

Are you experiencing joint pains, stiffness, or unsure how to exercise safely as you move through menopause?

Our bodies go through big changes at this stage of life – from bone and muscle health to pelvic floor function and even balance. These changes can sometimes lead to pelvic health issues, such as leakage, heaviness, or discomfort.

That’s why I created the Menopausal MOT – a one-hour physiotherapy appointment that includes:
🔍 A full pelvic health assessment if you’re experiencing pelvic floor symptoms
💪 A detailed look at your strength, mobility, and movement patterns
🧠 A clear understanding of what’s happening in your body
✨ A personalised plan to help you feel confident and supported

Whether you want to future-proof your body or you’re already dealing with symptoms, this is a safe, empowering step toward looking after your health.

📍 Appointments available in clinic – message me to book.

Pregnancy-related pelvic pain can make everyday activities feel so much harder – especially when you’ve got other little ones to care for.

Physiotherapy can help you:
✨ Reduce pain
✨ Move more comfortably
✨ Stay active in ways that support your body

But here’s the thing – it’s not just about exercise.
Research shows that rest, sleep, and self-care are just as important as activity when managing pelvic pain.

Through a tailored plan, we’ll work together to help you stay active and find the balance you need to support both you and your baby.

💌 Message me if pelvic pain is affecting your pregnancy – you don’t have to just “put up with it.”

I’ve been seeing so many clients recently with lower back and hip/ buttock pain.

Often, when we dig deeper, it’s linked to everyday habits – how you stand, move, or even how you hold babies and young children. These patterns can lead to muscle imbalances:
⚖️ Weakness in some muscles (often on one side more than the other)
⚡ Tightness in others

The good news?
With a tailored physiotherapy assessment and exercise plan, we can work on:
💪 Strengthening the right muscles
🧘 Stretching the tight ones
🧩 Giving you the tools to manage and improve your pain

If you’ve been living with nagging back or hip pain, it’s worth getting it checked – sometimes small changes make a huge difference.

Staying active during pregnancy is so important – not only for your physical health but also for your mental wellbeing.

🌱 Ease pregnancy aches and pains
🤗 Help you feel more confident and connected to your body

I currently have spaces available, so if you’re pregnant and want to feel stronger and more supported, now’s the perfect time to join us!

It’s been such a busy and rewarding week – full clinic lists, buzzing Pilates classes, and some incredible conversations with women about their health and wellbeing.

This week I’ve had the privilege to:
🤰 Support mums with Mummy MOTs
🏃‍♀️ Help women with hip and low back pain that’s affecting their running
💛 Work with a new mum struggling with low back pain
🌸 Carry out pelvic health assessments where women have said, “Everyone should know about this – it’s been so helpful!”

Through hands-on treatment, clear explanations, and giving people the tools and confidence to manage their symptoms, I get to help women get back to the activities they love.

And the best bit?
I get to do all this from my home clinic, where I can pop a wash on between clients and spend time with my gorgeous dog 🐾 – who turned 1 this week! 🎉

I feel incredibly lucky to do this work and to support so many women through different stages of life, from pregnancy to menopause. 💕

Wishing you all a restful weekend!
