Personal Training

I also offer Pre and Post Natal Personal Training also. I offer an amazing 8 week rehabilitation programme to new mums, with great attention to pelvic floor strengthening, with core and breath work.

The aim of our post natal training is to help rebuild the strength and function of your body after pregnancy – no matter how long ago that was! We work on the foundations of your body to help you lose your “mummy tummy”, re-activate and strengthen your core/pelvic floor muscles, re-align your posture and lose excess belly fat. The method is holistic, addressing both boosting the strength and power of your body AND your mind. We not only want to make you strong on the outside, but we want to make you feel powerful, strong and confident on the inside.
