Welcome to ‘From Bump to Barbell’ – Pregnancy & Postnatal Strength Coaching & Pelvic health programmes
Transform Your Pregnancy & Postnatal Fitness Journey with From Bump to Barbell: A personalised pregnancy and post natal training programme that combines the strength training you love with the core and pelvic floor work you need
I get it, exercising during pregnancy or when you've just had a baby can feel like a minefield!
Is this you?
✓ Want to exercise during pregnancy but feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice
✓ Navigating training with diastasis, prolapse, or some pelvic floor symptoms
✓ Looking to return to weightlifting, CrossFit, or running after baby
✓ Seeking expert guidance for safe strength training during pregnancy or postpartum
✓ Ready to build strength and confidence whilst supporting your pelvic health
From Bump to Barbell is a pregnancy or post-natal personal training programme for mums (with babies of any age – even the not-so-little ones!).
It combines pelvic floor and core education and exercises/rehab with strength training especially designed for the pregnant or post natal body.
From Bump to Barbell is perfect if you are any of the following:
- You’d love to exercise during or post-pregnancy but you’re feeling a little overwhelmed with all the pregnancy or post-natal messaging about weight loss, bouncing back, and ‘toning up’
- You are wondering how to exercise during pregnancy if you have diastasis, prolapse or pelvic floor symptoms from a previous pregnancy/birth
- You are postnatal and have mild diastasis, prolapse, or some pelvic floor symptoms and still want to strength train and exercise with confidence
- You want to safely return to weightlifting, CrossFit or running after pregnancy and birth
- You want a tailored & pelvic floor-safe strength training programme for pregnancy or post-baby

What makes From Bump to Barbell Different?
You don’t have to put the barbell down as soon as you see those 2 lines on a pregnancy test.
Or restrict yourself to pregnancy and postnatal yoga or pilates (although we love both here).
Or do 9 months of ring rows and banded exercises at your CrossFit class.
From Bump to Barbell is designed to help you navigate a strong pregnancy, birth, and rehab after delivery.
Informed by the latest evidence and research, this strength training and pelvic health programme combines the strength training you love with the pelvic floor and core education and training you need (and that doesn’t always get mentioned in the fitness industry).
What you'll learn in From Bump to Barbell
- Core and pelvic floor strategies and care for both pregnancy and postpartum
- How to safely train through pregnancy and recover and rebuild postnatally
- Modifications for your fave strength training movements
- Birth prep and pelvic floor relaxation
- Pregnancy/postpartum nutrition
- Stress management techniques

Meet your coach
Mum, wife, pelvic health and strength training coach
I have been working in the pregnancy and postnatal space for over a decade and have helped hundreds of pregnant and postnatal clients better navigate their training during these important life transitions. I’m a big fan of empowering women to better understand the physical and physiological changes that happen during pregnancy and after birth, along with creating core and pelvic floor-safe strength training programmes.
I am a mum to 2 kids (one of whom has high levels of additional needs and autism) and know that the deeper I can care for myself, the greater my capacity is to care for others. I help clients carve out valuable time for themselves and their overall health and well-being (without the mum guilt..!)
I’m a member of a local pregnancy and birth group, called the Pregnancy and Birth Network – a collective of highly skilled pregnancy and birth practitioners who support clients with all aspects of pregnancy and birth.
