A topic I’m really passionate about🙌🏻

💬A little while ago, I had the opportunity to deliver a talk at a Sozo Clinic , focusing on some of the key things that become increasingly important as we move through perimenopause and menopause. From strength training and muscle mass to protein intake, bone health and overall wellbeing.

🤷🏻‍♀️There is so much information (and misinformation) around menopause, so I wanted to create something simple, practical and evidence-informed that women can come back to.

✨I’ve shared the presentation here for anyone who might find it useful.

➡️If you have any questions about strength training, nutrition or menopause, pop them below.

The “unsexy” supplements that are actually worth paying attention to & are staples in my daily routine!

Vitamin D ☀️ & creatine 💪🏼

They might not be the most exciting supplements, but both have strong evidence behind them and can play an important role in women’s health. From bone health and muscle function to strength and supporting healthy ageing.

I’ve shared a little more about why they’re worth considering, what the research says and how to take them in my latest article.

I love it when Ori comes to visit. 🤍

I first met him when he was just 6 weeks old… and now his favourite spot is the gym. Swipe to see how much he’s grown. 🥹

Creating a safe space where babies are always welcome and mums can prioritise themselves without worrying about childcare has always been important to me.

Every mum deserves to be a priority. 💫

A C-section shelf is a small fold of skin that can sit above a caesarean scar. It can develop due to scar tissue adhesions, loose or stretched skin, natural fat distribution, or abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti).

The good news is that there are things you can do to support healing and improve its appearance:

✨ Scar massage may help reduce adhesions, improve tissue mobility and decrease the appearance of the overhang over time. Only begin once the incision is fully healed and closed (typically around 5–6 weeks postpartum) and you’ve been given the all-clear if needed.

✨ Scar cupping may help improve tissue mobility and circulation and may support release of restrictions in the scar and surrounding fascia.

✨ Acupuncture can help by stimulating blood flow, supporting scar tissue remodelling and may reduce sensitivity or discomfort around the scar.

✨ Targeted core rehabilitation and strength training can help improve abdominal function and support recovery from diastasis recti.

Every body heals differently. While some women see significant improvement, a small fold may remain and that’s completely normal.

Don’t assume there’s nothing you can do. There are ways to support healing, function and confidence after a C-section. 🩵

If you’re unsure where to start, working with a pelvic health physiotherapist can be really helpful for individualised support.

Exercise during pregnancy isn’t just safe for most women, it’s incredibly beneficial for both mum 🤰🏻 and baby 👶🏻

UK guidelines recommend aiming for around 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, plus muscle strengthening exercise on 2 days 🏋️‍♀️

Even if you weren’t active before pregnancy, you can start small and build up gradually, even a short walk counts 🚶‍♀️

Think:
✨ Walking
✨ Swimming
✨ Strength training
✨ Prenatal yoga or Pilates

Keep it simple:
💧 Stay hydrated
🌡️ Avoid overheating
🧠 Aim to feel comfortably challenged, you should still be able to talk & maintain a conversation

If you’re unsure where to start or want to train safely, working with a qualified prenatal coach can help you feel confident and supported throughout pregnancy.
