Pregnancy changes your body. Birth asks a huge amount of it. Breastfeeding can ask even more.

And then, somehow, you’re expected to recover, function on broken sleep, look after a baby, return to exercise or work – and perhaps even get your body back.

​

As a mum of 3, I know first hand that the postpartum journey isn't always straight forward. But, after all the ups and downs and unexpected challenges, I've come out the other side not only with personal experience but professional training that has helped me understand so much more.

​

And I can help you if you feel like your struggling to make sense of it all.

​

- You're so exhausted, you can't even think about 'getting going'… but everyone tells you that’s normal when you have a baby.

- Your brain feels foggy and you can’t find your words anymore....... but everyone says it's just 'baby brain'.

- You struggle to get out of the door without feeling anxious, overwhelmed or emotionally fragile.... but your told to just get on with it, it goes away. 

- You're losing hair, craving sugar, struggling with your weight or simply don’t recognise your body anymore..... but you should just push through it (you shouldn't!)

- Or perhaps you’re functioning – but you know you don’t quite feel like you.

 

These experiences are common.

But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be asking 'what does my body need now to support a full recovery'?
