The magic isn't in a 6-week clearance.

It's not in "bouncing back."

It's not in pushing through before your body is ready.

The magic happens when a woman feels seen, supported, and empowered to move in a way that honours her season of life.

When she understands her body.

When she prioritises recovery.

When she reconnects with herself from within.

When she rebuilds strength progressively, based on her capacity, not someone else's timeline.

That's where confidence grows.
That's where trust is rebuilt.
That's where strength returns.

And while it might look like magic from the outside, it's actually the result of education, support, consistency, and patience.

At Move for Mums, that's exactly what we're here for. 💚

Come experience the magic.

Caraoke. Podcasts. Client calls.

That about sums it up.

This is my life 3 days a week and I am so looking forward to not having to do this for 12 months when bubs arrived.
Yeeeeeeeewwwwwwww bring it on.

Same exercise. Same minute. A few different moments. 🤰

Pregnancy training can be like that.

One moment you're feeling strong and capable. The next you're questioning everything. Then a few minutes later, you're back in your groove again.

The same can be true across trimesters, weeks, days, and even within a single session, or set!

‼️The goal isn't to push through regardless. It's to be adaptable.

To listen to your body, adjust when needed, and recognise that changing how you train isn't a step backwards, it's often the smartest thing you can do.

This is where having an experienced coach can make a huge difference. Not because they tell you to stop, but because they help you understand how to KEEP MOVING safely and confidently as your body changes.

Pregnancy isn't linear. Your training doesn't need to be either. 💕

If you're pregnant and wondering how to keep training, or you're looking for support to navigate the changes that come with exercise during pregnancy, I'd love to help.

“It’s never all or nothing.”

A simple phrase, but one that can completely change the way you approach movement. 🤍

I’m so excited our new merch arrives next week and to see some of our mums wearing these words proudly. Because this message is woven through everything we do at Move for Mums.

For so many women, exercise has become tied to an “all or nothing” mindset.
If it’s not intense enough, sweaty enough, long enough, hard enough… then it “doesn’t count.”

And honestly? That conditioning runs deep.
We’ve been taught that movement has to punish us, shrink us, burn the most calories, or leave us exhausted to be worthwhile.

But movement was never meant to only count when it’s hard.

Sometimes movement looks like:
✨ lifting heavy
✨ a slow walk
✨ mobility work
✨ 10 minutes instead of 60
✨ breathing drills
✨ training with lower energy
✨ showing up imperfectly

And it all counts.

Because the women who build sustainable strength long term usually aren’t the ones going all in for two weeks before burning out. They’re the ones who keep showing up.

I’ve gone back & forth about sharing this, but there’s value in honesty, especially in a space built for mothers.

Behind Move for Mums is not a full-time business owner with endless time, support or capacity. It’s me. A mum. A partner & woman trying to juggle a lot of moving parts at once.

Right now, my weeks look like part-time work, 3-hour commutes, daycare drop-offs, lunch-break programming, late-night admin & trying to carve out quality time for my family & myself somewhere in between.

And honestly? There are many days where I feel like I’m not fully nailing any of it.

There’s a constant tension between wanting to be present with my family while also wanting to grow something meaningful.

Wanting to support women well. Wanting to build this community. Wanting purpose outside of motherhood, while also carrying the guilt that can come with that.

Because while this business may not be my full-time job, mentally & emotionally it takes up a huge part of me. The care I have for the women in this space is real. The passion is real. Sometimes that means my boundaries blur a little more than they should. I'm working on it.

As we prepare to welcome another baby into our family later this year, I’ve realised I need to give myself permission to slow down before life speeds up even more.

Not because I don’t love this work, but because I do. And because I also value my family, my health, my pregnancy & preparing physically & emotionally for labour, birth & postpartum.

So after a lot of thought, I’ve decided we won’t be running a regular Term 3 or organising class coverage while I step back. Truthfully, trying to manage all of that alongside work & family life would add pressure I simply don’t have capacity for right now.

Instead, I’ll be offering an extension of Term 2 until end of July, alongside a small number of 1:1 coaching spots.

Then in Term 4, you’ll still see me online & I’d genuinely love to bring more of our community along with me there 🤍

This decision has come with mixed emotions. Guilt, relief, sadness & excitement… probably all the things many mums know well when trying to balance everyone else’s needs alongside their own.

Much love

Individual, symptom-based, appropriately graded and progressed exercise is key 🔑

Returning to exercise postpartum doesn’t have to feel scary 🙀

There’s so much information out there telling women what they should or shouldn’t do… often wrapped up in fear-based messaging about “damage”, “doing it wrong”, or “breaking your body”.

But the latest 2025 Canadian postpartum guidelines support a much more individualised approach to movement and recovery. They recommend a “gradual, individualised progression” back to exercise, guided by symptoms, healing and readiness...not arbitrary timelines.

We know women face huge barriers to exercise postpartum:
🤍 exhaustion
🤍 lack of support
🤍 fear around movement
🤍 confusing advice
🤍 the mental load of motherhood

And yet we also know exercise can have significant benefits for postpartum recovery, physical health, mental health, sleep and quality of life.

At Move for Mums, we believe postpartum exercise should feel supportive, empowering and sustainable — not all or nothing.

That means:
✔️ meeting women where they’re at
✔️ modifying when needed
✔️ building gradually
✔️ focusing on function, strength and confidence
✔️ supporting the pelvic floor and core within movement — not avoiding movement altogether

Because the goal isn’t perfection.
The goal is helping women feel strong, capable and supported in their postpartum season ❤️

Happy Mother's Day 💐

Today, we celebrate mothers.
The ones in the thick of it. The ones running on little sleep. The ones carrying the mental load. The ones learning, growing, sacrificing, and loving in ways words could never fully capture.

Motherhood is one of life’s greatest privileges, but also one of its biggest transformations. It changes us deeply. And behind every mother is a unique story that deserves to be honoured.

Today can also feel complicated for many women.
For those longing to become mothers.
For those navigating loss, grief, fertility struggles, or estrangement. For the mothers no longer with us. For the women doing motherhood differently than they imagined. For those carrying invisible battles while still showing up every day.

At Move for Mums, I see you. All of you.

Today is about recognising the strength, resilience, softness, courage, and humanity of women in every season of life.

To our community — thank you for letting us be part of your journey. Watching women reconnect with themselves through movement, community, and support is something we never take for granted.

However today looks for you, we hope you feel seen, supported, and deeply valued.

With love
Rach @ Move for Mums 🤍
