Me & my bestie ❤️

I gained almost 20 kilos during pregnancy.

I trained the whole way through, I ate well, and my body still did exactly what it needed to do to grow my daughter.
And not once was I worried about “getting my body back.”

Not during pregnancy.
Not postpartum.

Because the transformation you see now didn’t start at 5 months postpartum when I entered a deficit. It started years before that, when I learned to keep promises to myself around movement and nutrition. Those habits are the reason I trusted my body through pregnancy, and the reason I trusted myself afterwards.

I didn’t fear the weight gain because I knew my behaviours would hold.

I knew I would return to the basics that have always supported me: consistent training, structured meals, enough protein, enough sleep, and respecting my hunger cues.
This postpartum phase hasn’t been about bouncing back.
It’s been about continuing to show up for myself the same way I always have.

The physical changes are just a reflection of that.

If there’s anything I want other mums to know, it’s this:
Your body will do what it needs to do in pregnancy.
And you get to trust yourself to navigate the rest.

I am a firm believer that the modern women needs to pay better attention to her intake than our grandparents did. Our environment has shifted. The loads we carry is huge.

I’m seeing so many women in clinic running on empty at this time of year. Not because they’re doing anything “wrong” but because the mental and emotional load is huge. Kids, work, the house, Christmas planning… it all sits on our shoulders more than we realise.

And when you’re that stretched, the first thing to go is usually your own nutrition. Not because you don’t care, but because it feels like the last thing you have capacity for. I get it. Some days even thinking about what to eat is exhausting.
But the reality is, if you want to keep up with the demands on your plate right now, your body actually needs more from you nutritionally, not less.

Our lifestyles are busier, more stressful, and more stimulating than what our grandparents ever dealt with. Their food didn’t need to work as hard as ours does.

Wholefoods, regular meals, protein, colour… these aren’t “nice to have” things. They’re literally what stabilise your mood, blood sugar, hormones, and energy so you can function through the load you’re carrying.

So this is just a reminder that nourishing yourself is not optional when life is this full.
It’s not selfish.
It’s not a luxury.
It’s one of the only things that actually protects you.

Even if it’s basic, even if it’s imperfect… keep feeding yourself. Your body needs it more than ever ❤️

Trying to conceive is one of the most mentally draining seasons of a woman’s life. What makes it harder is the well-meaning but completely unhelpful advice you get from friends and family.

“Just relax and it’ll happen”
“Go on holiday, my cousin’s friend did that and she got pregnant”

If only it worked like that.

When you’re in the thick of TTC, your nervous system, hormones, nutrient status, sleep, inflammation, and overall stress load all play a role. Telling a woman to “relax” ignores the complexity of her biology and the emotional weight she’s carrying.

If you’re in this season right now, please know it’s not because you’re not trying hard enough or not calm enough. You’re not doing anything wrong. There are real, physical factors that can be supported and understood.

You deserve evidence based guidance, clarity around your cycle, and a plan that actually works with your physiology, not against it.

If this is you, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to navigate this in the dark.

I’m 27 kg down from birth and 15 kg down from when my weight naturally stabilised postpartum. I started my deficit at five months postpartum and honestly it’s been seamless. Consistent drops, steady habits, and hitting the basics over and over again.

It can look effortless from the outside.
But what you don’t see is the foundation that was laid long before I was even in a position to lose weight.

All through pregnancy I exercised in a way that felt supportive, and I applied restraint with food without ever restricting. I focused on fuelling enough to sustain my pregnancy while minimising unnecessary fat gain, and still my body gained exactly what it needed to grow my daughter. That was never something I tried to fight.

And beyond that, I hadn’t been in a deficit since 2022. My whole intention for years was to maintain, nourish, and build a metabolically resilient body. Not for weeks. Not for a quick phase. For years. That decision is why this phase has felt so seamless. It’s choosing health first even when weight loss isn’t the goal.

This was never about bouncing back, and your post partum journey and post partum success is not built around the way you look! But I can’t deny that I’m not proud of me ❤️🫶

It was always about feeling good in my skin again and honouring my body with movement and nutrition. And I genuinely feel that the way I cared for myself pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy, and postpartum has been a huge part of why I’ve had such a great physical and mental postpartum experience.

Did you know the World Health Organisation recommends continuing breastfeeding for up to 2 years and beyond?

Once solids start at around 6 months, breastmilk is still a major source of nutrients and immune support, and the WHO (world health organisation) states breastfeeding can continue for 2+ years if mum and baby choose to.

This reel is obviously a joke > but the education is real. Breastfeeding into toddlerhood is normal, healthy, and globally recommended.

And if someone looks at that strangely?
That’s a them problem, not a you problem.

Special shoutout to the mums who’s breastfeeding journey didn’t pan out in the way they had wished 🫶 you are doing a wonderful job 🥹❤️

This is a great example of a long term clients journey and why it’s normal to expect a non linear process.

If you’re in a season where everything is clicking… cherish it.
Those seasons don’t last forever, and they aren’t meant to.
At some point, life, hormones, stress, training, appetite or priorities will shift… and things will get a little messier.

And if you’re in the messy season right now?
That’s ok too.

I know it can feel like you’re going backwards.
Like you’ve lost momentum.
Like you’re doing something wrong.
But you’re not.

Both the clicking seasons AND the messy seasons are where lots of learning happens.
Where self-awareness is built.
Where your physiology adapts.
Where your habits get tested.
Where you evolve into the next version of yourself.

No woman moves through her health journey in a straight line.
We move through seasons.
Each one with a purpose.
Each one revealing its clarity in hindsight.

So whether everything feels seamless or everything feels chaotic…
You’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
Keep going 🫶🥰

It’s that time year! Your annual reminder …

Growing up, and especially becoming a mum, opens your eyes to the realities of the world. Which is why the whole tradition of forcing a child to sit on a stranger’s lap for a Christmas photo feels… a bit off.

If they’re excited and keen, that’s a different story. But if they’re uncomfortable, shy, or clearly not into it, we don’t need to push it.

There are plenty of ways to make the moment special. Let them sit on mum or dad’s lap next to Santa, stand beside him, or skip the photo altogether.

Protect their boundaries. Teach them they’re allowed to feel safe in their own bodies. That lesson matters far more than a festive photo.
