Hey there, I'm Jo!
I’m a postpartum nurse, pregnancy and postnatal personal trainer, and a mum just like you. When I gave birth to my babies, I never really truly understood the significance that pregnancy would have on my body, let alone birth and recovery! I began doing my own research about recovering from birth because I wanted to do everything I could to support my body to heal properly after suffering birth injuries and intervention with my first two births. When I began learning about pelvic floor health, I asked myself, “Why didn’t anyone tell me this?”
As a nurse who now works in the maternity service looking after Mama recovering from birth, I’ve realised that I wasn’t alone in my struggle to return to “normal”. It’s just something that hardly anyone talks about!
Now I’ve made it my mission to share what I’ve learnt through working with postpartum women as a nurse and personal trainer. Because implementing some simple exercises can help you avoid long-term complications from birth. I know it can be hard to set aside time to exercise when you’ve got a little one, but it's so important to take that time for yourself. After all, your wellbeing is worth investing in!

Here's what a few pregnant mums have to say about these sessions...
Prue
I truly believe the strength, awareness, and confidence I built in these classes were a key part of my successful home birth with no medical intervention. I’d highly recommend it to any expecting mum wanting to feel strong, prepared, and connected to their body for birth.
Jo really knows her stuff and has set up a fantastic space for women no matter their challenges
Jordyn
Jo was so lovely and knowledgeable. The pregnancy classes were a great way to stay active and feel strong to prepare for labour and birth. A nice, supportive environment to make time to focus on you and baby each week and feel good during pregnancy.
Jennie
Anna
I have attended Jo’s pregnancy fitness class every week since approx 20weeks. At first I just signed up to stay active during pregnancy - however I have gained so much more out of each class... From breathing techniques, to learning about how the body works in labour, Jo’s always there to answer your questions, inform and tailor the exercises to the groups and personal needs.
Tash
Jo also took me through birth prep, which along with the fitness and mobility we worked on throughout my pregnancy helped me have a great birth experience.
Erin
I really have enjoyed learning more theory behind the movements and why they are important plus the length of the workouts is good as aren't too overwhelming.
