Women’s Health - Menopause, Pregnancy & Post Natal

While teaching in Singapore in 2016, I started teaching pregnancy and post natal group classes on the reformer. This where my love for teaching pregnant and post natal women blossomed. The more I taught, the more my fascination grew about the female body through pregnancy and the post natal period. After moving back to London in 2019, I was keen to further my interest in this area and undertook further training with Mama’s Pilates, which I completed in 2020 when I was 8 months pregnant.

My first birth was traumatic and I ended up having a caesarean section - but I was driven to fully investigate birth further and my passion for working in this field. I started taking another fully comprehensive course in Menopause, Pregnancy, Post Natal & Women’s Health with The Center for Women’s Fitness in Chicago. This course was created by Carolyne Anthony, world renowned specialist in women’s health and fitness. The course looks at the woman as a whole and looks at myofascial release techniques, the Pelvic Floor, Diastasis Recti, Menopause and of course Pregnancy & Post Natal. At this time I was also teaching my own pregnancy & post natal mat classes.

In 2022 I gave birth to my second baby, which thankfully was a much happier birth! I am incredibly proud to be able to specialise in women’s health and able to look at women’s bodies as an amazing whole system that goes on a complex and empowering journey.
