you may have seen me in
Everyday you wake up...
..with a different body. Especially, during motherhood, due to a myriad of factors including the biomechanical changes of pregnancy and postpartum recovery, the challenges of motherhood, sleep, stress, hormones and more. So, female fitness is not as simple as Googling an online workout, following a fit-influencer, joining the local boot-camp or doing exactly what your friend did as "they got results".
The fitness market is saturated and un-regulated, there's information overload and cookie cutter programming no longer works when it comes to female health and fitness.
As far too many women feel...
"Alone and that my body has failed me !"
"Embarrassed" by unspoken symptoms
"Conflicted" about what they should and shouldn't be doing
"Struggling" as exercising to exhaustion and not eating enough does not work
With this shifting landscape, comes a responsibility from me, a successful personal trainer, group fitness instructor, past studio owner and course creator with over 20 years experience - to globally share with all women...
An easy, accessible and proven female focused fitness strategy
After training thousands of mothers and mamas-to-be, and also using and refining these methods during my own three pregnancies I have learned that the physical changes of pregnancy, recovery and the challenges of motherhood can cause many women to lose the physical and mental connection to their bodies and especially deep core.
However with simple but effective whole body exercises, this connection can actually improve during pregnancy and it is never too late to start at any stage of life.
Why ?
As every woman has an incredible instinct, making them so much more aware of the changes happening to their body.
This provides a wonderful opportunity to create a fabulous whole body core connection.
That's why I am committed to changing lives by helping all women to harness this tremendous internal power. My passion is to help women globally, to confidently connect better to their bodies, so they can get back to doing what they truly love with confidence and happiness.
If you've been struggling to create a consistent exercise routine, that you actually look forward to, you are in the right place.
More than just a fitness plan, my unique BodyFabulous BFABMETHOD method can be personally tailored to your needs with
- 1:1 coaching
- group sessions
- workshops
- online programs
Choose 1 or combination, which is ideal if you are ready to commit to discovering physically and mentally how exercise and nutrition are fabulous ways to connect to your body better rather than just tools to change it.
How I work...
Despite what the majority of the fitness industry says, you don't need to "go hard or go home," focus on trunk based exercises, "draw belly button to spine" or do 1000 Kegels a day to get fit, build a strong core and pelvic floor.
Safe, effective total body workouts and a clear success path, that shows you how to cut through the confusion female fitness is my proven solution.
Discover my latest evidence-based techniques the BFABMETHOD and how they can work exactly for you and your lifestyle during any trimester of pregnancy, recovery, or any stage of life.
Including if you are trying to conceive, have diastasis recti, prolapse, are returning to exercise after a long hiatus. Or maybe you simply want to rediscover how to accept yourself and show your body the love and respect it’s always deserved.
I look forward to connecting with you
MEET YOUR TRAINER
Hi, I'm dahlas.
I'm one of Australia’s most respected and successful certified and experienced Pregnancy and Female Fitness Trainers.
"I’ve been where you are right now ….
Despite being fitness trainer since the age of 17, not so long ago, I was also in your shoes.
Pre-Kids I used to spend hours in the gym pushing myself to near death depletion (on very limited calories) because I thought that was the only way to get results. These days, as a mother of 3 children and running my own business I have experienced not only my leanest, but my happiest, most fulfilling self through whole body functional movement."

Brisbane
Unfortunately, if you are over 35 or have ever given birth, it’s no longer as simple as calories in and out plus exercise harder and faster.
It is essential that female hormones are considered.
Too little calories and too many depleting workouts can spike your cortisol, which switches off fat burning and causes other unpleasant side effects like insomnia, inflammation, irritability, increased sarcopenia (muscle loss), to name a few.
For women, as we age, there is also a drop in estrogen, and fat that is stored is visceral fat (which can accumulate around the midsection and organs). This is different from subcutaneous fat that responds to a calorie deficit. Visceral fat also does not respond to “spot training” with exercises like crunches.
So, it's time to stop defaulting to, "draw belly button to spine," "bracing your belly," and "go hard or go home" workouts... which often just make your belly bulge worse!
Sadly, too many “diet” and exercise programs are based on male biomechanics and don’t account for the every changing female physiology. This is why so many women get stuck in the exercise more and eat less “hangry” cycle and feel like they are "doing all the things" but never achieving any long-term results.
If you are looking for an evidence-based solution that is based on female physiology, then BodyFabulous workouts understand the unique challenges women face during pregnancy, postnatal recovery, perimenopause, and beyond.
Including :
- Cortisol-Friendly Exercise: with a focus on workouts that supports hormonal balance, avoiding excessive stress on the body. This includes strength training, mindful movement, and targeted resistance training, all designed to build lean muscle and improve metabolic function without overtaxing the adrenal glands.
- Hormonal Awareness: with an understanding of the impact of hormonal fluctuations on fat storage and energy levels, your workouts are tailored to work with your body, not against it. Our unique approach emphasizes whole-body strength and metabolic health, addressing the root causes of visceral fat storage rather than relying on outdated spot reduction techniques.
- Female Focused : discover a supportive environment that acknowledges the challenges women face at different life stages, offering guidance on evidence based nutrition, stress management and whole body wellbeing.
- Core and Pelvic Floor Focus: modern core training that goes beyond Kegels and crunches, focusing on whole body functional movement and breathwork techniques.
- Energizing, Not Depleting: Finish your workouts feeling invigorated and looking forward to your next session, rather than dreading it.
