WELCOME
Making a Positive Impact
I am a woman's wellness coach specialising in fitness for all life phases, pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, post natal, motherhood, peri-menopause and post menopause. Understanding the complexity of our hormones and how they change for each life cycle, I believe in adapting our exercise and nutrition to give what our bodies need and deserve.
My aim is to help you identify your fitness goals, design an exercise program that's suitable for you and guide you through every exercise and workout.
WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU
WEIGHT LOSS, STRENGTHEN AND TONE
Muscle Building and Fat Loss
Did you know after the age of 30 a woman loses almost 1% muscle mass per year?, this then decreases your metabolic rate, which is the rate we burn calories. Focusing on building muscle will help you burn calories, boost metabolism and lose fat not to mention improving your overall heath.
HIIT
High Intensity Interval training
Are you short of time to workout? 20 to 30 minute HIIT workouts raises heart rates and gets blood pumped around the body. HIIT burns calories, breaks down fat cells and increases your metabolic rate for up to 24 hours after. Long term HIIT can help you lose fat, reduce resting heart rate, reduce blood pressure and can reduce reduce blood sugar.
PREGNANCY EXERCISE
Maintain Fitness, Increase Stamina
Benefits of exercise during pregnancy include improved circulation, reduced swelling, reduced maternal weight gain, reduced labour pain, easier shorter labours and reduced risk of low back pain. With my professional pregnancy qualifications, I can guide you safely through suitable exercise programmes for each trimester.
POST NATAL EXERCISE
Core and Pelvic Floor Restore
If you've recently had a baby you'll understand it can be mentally and physically challenging. Give yourself some 'me time' and take time out to tune up your pelvic floor muscles and restore your core with some bespoke restorative and functional exercise. Post natal exercise along with good nutrition will also help balance hormones, increase energy, increase fat loss, improve posture, increase self-confidence and reduce anxiety.
FROM PMS TO PERI-MENOPAUSE, FROM MENOPAUSE TO POST-MENOPAUSE
Feel Good, Look Good
Through each of these life cycles women's hormones drastically shift and can become unbalanced. Many women from PMS to Peri-menopause phase tend to lose muscle mass and gain abdominal fat and often with unbalanced hormones find it hard to shift the excess weight. Stress is also a major cause of upsetting the endocrine system and if our stress levels are too high its even harder to lose weight. Regular exercise and appropriate nutrition can help prevent weight gain and reduce stress levels.
Exercise during and after menopause offers many benefits including preventing weight gain, reducing risk of Osteoporosis, heart disease and type II diabetes. Exercise also boots your mood and lowers your risk of depression and cognitive decline.
