Helping mums of all ages build functional strength, confidence & community through every stage of motherhood.

What if exercising after having a baby wasn’t about getting your body back… but building a strong, capable one for the life you have now?

Because motherhood is bloody physical.

We carry babies, lift capsules, wrestle prams into cars, bend over cots, get up and down off the floor, carry toddlers who suddenly “CAN’T WALK” and inevitably end up carrying the bike they refused to ride too.

Literally my life on Tuesday.

And we do all of this after pregnancy and birth, often with very little sleep or recovery!

So maybe the goal isn’t getting our old bodies back?

Maybe it’s rebuilding connection, strength and confidence, and gradually building our capacity to squat, hinge, push, pull and carry, because that’s what motherhood already asks us to do!

Not because our bodies need fixing but because motherhood asks a lot of them. 💚

If I didn't have my strength, I think I would be a heap on the floor right about now 🤪

Postpartum exercise isn’t about following a perfect set of rules. It’s about learning how to make better training decisions for the body, and the life you have now. ✂️🪨

Your 6-week check isn’t a finish line. Symptoms aren’t something to simply push through. Progress doesn’t always mean heavier weights. And a program doesn’t need to be followed perfectly to work.

Sleep might be rubbish. Recovery will fluctuate. Some weeks you’ll have more capacity than others. Your pelvic floor may need something completely different to the woman next to you.

Good training can account for all of that.

Build capacity before you test it.
Use reps and RIR to guide effort, rather than chasing numbers at all costs.
Progress when you’re ready. Adjust when you need to.
Notice symptoms instead of fearing or ignoring them.
And work with the time and energy you actually have.

Because postpartum training doesn’t have to be easy but it should be individual, progressive and adaptable.

You can still have goals. You can still challenge yourself. You can lift heavy when you're ready and get really bloody strong.

You just don’t have to rush the process.

And if you’re not sure where to start, consider a postnatal-specific program with a qualified pre & postnatal trainer, such as a MumSafe™ Trainer, who understands the nuances of returning to exercise after having a baby.

💚 Motherhood in Motion is my 8-week postnatal strength program designed to help you rebuild strength and confidence with progressive training, education, real coaching and connection.

I have this conversation with clients all the time.

There’s so much talk about loving our bodies, and I think body positivity can be a really beautiful thing.

But somewhere along the way, I think some of us have become a little scared to admit when we don’t feel positive about our bodies.

You’re allowed to not love your body all the time!

You’re allowed to not love every part of it.

And especially after having a baby, you’re allowed to look at your body and feel a little unfamiliar in it. To notice the softness, the changes, the things that look or feel different. To miss parts of your old body, while also feeling incredibly grateful for what this one has done.

Those things can exist together!

We don’t have to force ourselves to LOVE every part of our bodies in order to treat them with kindness 🤍🤍

We can respect them. Appreciate what they’ve done. Give them time to heal. Nourish them. Move them. Strengthen them. And be curious about what they can and will do next.

I see all the changes when I look at my tummy...my daughter sees softness, and Mum. 🥹

And maybe that’s a little reminder for me too. Because the way my tummy looks and feels is probably one of the least interesting things about me.

How did you feel about your body postpartum? Comment below and let's have an honest conversation about this 🤍

Are you nailing heel slides postpartum but not sure how to progress them? Sometimes jumping straight to leg lifts or lowers feels too much! Try these 🤍

This is a big one for us.

The Australian Senate has established a Select Committee on Women’s Health and MumSafe will be making a submission with a particular focus on something I have spent almost two decades working in: what happens to a woman’s relationship with movement and exercise through pregnancy, after birth and as she moves towards long-term physical activity.

Before we tell the Senate what we think needs to change, we want to understand what women are actually experiencing.

We have created a detailed National Mums Survey looking at the whole journey, including pregnancy, birth, postpartum care, birth injuries and conditions, returning to exercise, gyms and fitness environments, screening, referrals, financial barriers and the things that can either help a woman return to exercise or prevent her from getting there.

It takes approximately 10–15 minutes, and I know that is a decent chunk of time. We have deliberately chosen to ask more than a handful of quick questions because I want us to build a thorough picture of the current landscape rather than make assumptions about what women need.

You do not need to be a MumSafe client or currently exercising to take part. We want to hear about the brilliant experiences, the difficult ones and everything in between.

If you are an Australian mum please complete the survey and if you know another mum whose experience should be represented, please send it to her too.

Let’s make sure movement and exercise are part of this conversation.

We have SEVEN days to fill out the survey and our goal is 1000 mums.

Submit your response by Sunday 4th October & please share the link amongst your mum-friends.
