Rachel was wonderful- the sessions were well planned, challenging and never predictable. I actually really enjoyed being pregnant because I didn’t suffer from the common pregnancy aches and pains- Rachel knew how my body was going to change and what exercises to do before then to ensure we minimised the impact. I had no lower back pain throughout my entire pregnancy! She’s a great motivator but understands that each person is motivated in a different way. I never felt like I was getting a “one size fits all” approach and always felt like I was getting her best- even at 5.30am in the morning!
PRE & POST NATAL
EXERCISE DURING PREGNANCY CAN BENEFIT MOTHER AND BABY

From Rachel:
Pregnancy doesn’t mean you need to stop exercising. In fact, quite the opposite! Exercise in pregnancy is proven to have huge benefits for both mum and baby.
And for those mamas who have already delivered a little one, I can help you get back into exercise safely.
I’m a pre and post natal qualified coach. I love working with women before, during and after pregnancy. I’ve been qualified for three years and have two qualifications in pre and post natal exercise. The clients I work with are at all stage of pregnancy from the first weeks through to delivery / due date. And after delivery, from as early as 6 weeks post birth.
At a time when your body is changing so much, it’s great to have someone to support you and to ensure you’re exercising safely and effectively. There are changes you’ll need to make to your workouts and important things to learn about your body.
Some of the benefits of exercise during pregnancy include:
Improve mood and alertness
Limit excessive weight gain
Reduce risk of incontinence
Limit swelling
Reduce risk of, or limit, pain in the pelvis and hips
Maintain strength and fitness
Better recovery from pregnancy and delivery
Improve physical stamina for delivery
Optimise birth weight of baby
Lower risk of pregnancy induced diabetes
Lower risk of preeclampsia (high blood pressure)
