I am proudly affiliated with some amazing brands. With my background in both fitness and media/marketing.
I offer a range of collaboration opportunities such as brand ambassadorships, sponsored posts, public speaking, advertising, guest blogging, social media campaigns, guest fitness classes, interviews, retreats and more !
With my experience of working with thousands of women plus my own 3 pregnancies I will guide you to a strong and functional core, body and mind. This means I don’t just teach you to Kegel, “pull your belly button to spine” or deplete you with “go hard or go home” workouts because quite frankly those techniques are…outdated ! My goal is for as many women as possible to cherish their bodies during pregnancy, postpartum and the lifetime of motherhood with the latest evidence based strategies. I want this to be accessible for as many women as possible.
![[BREATHLESSNESS during PREGNANCY] 😩
Many women say to me ..."now that I am pregnant I feel so unfit - I can hardly catch my breath, just walking up a flight of stairs"
Sound familar ?? 🤰🏻

Don't fear if you are a regular exerciser. Being pregnant does not mean that your fitness levels have suddenly vanished.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸There are a few factors that cause #pregnancy BREATHLESSNESS :
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+The pregnancy hormone progesterone is thought to be a main culprit as it changes the way your body absorbs oxygen.
+ While pregnant your blood vessels expand and blood volume also increases - making your heart work harder which can cause breathlessness
+ Towards the third trimester, when your uterus has grown enough to push on your diaphragm, this may also cause you to feel breathless, simply as your diaphragm does not have the space to expand and take a full breath.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Practising #CORE BREATH or lengthening your breath slowly can help overcome this feeling plus is a great practice for labour and secretly activates your core from the inside !
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are however finding it hard too catch your breath and you are feeling light headed, dizzy and have a rapid feeble pulse please see a medical practitioner immediately.
