I'm excited to get back to teaching with postnatal reformer Pilates 4 week block.
(And hopefully more continuous blocks after this one).

These classes are designed to provide the most benefit for postpartum bodies - focus on breath, alignment, and strength 💪

Postpartum Pilates isn’t just about recovery — it’s about reconnection.

To your breath.
To your core.
To yourself.

🗓 Postnatal Reformer classes starting on 28 August!

You may have heard about the pelvic floor being compared to a hammock. But have you heard about a boat in the dock analogy? It gives a better understanding.

Imagine - boat is the pelvic organs, water is the pelvic floor, and ropes are the ligaments and fascia supporting the pelvic organs.

If the water level is high, the boat is well supported, and the ropes are not under strain.

If the water level drops, then the ship lowers and puts more strain on the ropes.

The pelvic floor works similarly. It supports the internal organs, which are suspended by ligaments and fascia.

If the pelvic floor is weakened or compromised, it puts more strain on the fascia and ligaments and can result in a prolapse.

This is why it is important to manage load and downward pressure when recovering after childbirth, especially vaginal birth, but also following a c-section.

What does managing load mean? It is not to avoid all and everything, but it is being smart about it. To be continued.

I've been busy 👩‍🎓

I may not have many hours of work atm, but I have been doing some studying and reading.

I'm diving in the world of breath, alignment, and pelvic floor. I see how this is a game changer in postnatal and pelvic floor rehabiliation, but not limited to that!

I have very much enjoyed course and am hungry for more!

Back doing what I love — holding space for rest, healing, and reconnection.

💆‍♀️ My hands are back in action, and I’m so happy to be here for you.

Back to business!!

At this stage, massages will be available on Saturday mornings and Monday afternoons. Initially, only 2 per day, then I'll increase to 3.

I will only be offering 60-minute appointments on those days.

Look forward to seeing you soon!

It is time for me to start thinking about returning to work (not to mention all those messages asking when I will return 🤪)

My little miss turns 6 months this week, and I will soon start some part-time work.

The plan is to work 2 half days a week - very likely a Saturday or Sunday morning and one afternoon during the week.

I know it will be a very limited capacity, but this is the best we can do with limited childcare options.

I will also send a newsletter once I can know the exact date!!

See you soon-ish! I miss you too 😊
