What is included
- Postnatal Recovery Videos Made by ex midwife and fully qualified postnatal recovery expert, they take you one step at a time, via bite-sized videos, through exactly what you need to do to recover your body after having a baby. So there is no more wasted time and head space wondering what to do next or how to recover your body, you can get right into it. A more useful and wholesome alternative to the doom scrolls when you are nap-trapped or feeding your baby.
- Live (optionally) baby wearing safe postnatal exercise classes. Developed and choreographed to music by a former midwife (that's me!) Mondays 10AM. (Don't worry if you can't make it live - there are loads of replays) Hands down the best way to start your week with or without your baby in a carrier, to give you that boost of energy you need to be the more patient and calmer mum you want to be. Disclaimer - expect to smile and laugh a lot - which makes it fun - so you actually want to turn up!
- Unlimited access to class playbacks A whole library of past classes available to access on demand at any time of day so you can fit it around your life.

There are also 15 minute workouts too, so you can actually find the time to fit the work in to get strong.
- Access to a postnatal recovery expert The opportunity to ask me questions live after classes or via the Facebook group or email so you can feel confident you are getting it right and keep making progress towards that feeling of energised joy (rather than dread) when your toddler takes your hand and pulls you towards the trampoline.
- A community of like-minded new mums You get access to a Facebook group of other mums on exactly this same journey so you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing you are not alone. You feel seen as you work out alongside other mums also juggling the baby, a toddler clung to their leg, vommit down their boobs and a dog trying to join in. Often we will all stop for a chat after class to swap workout chaos stories.

This is me......
Nice to meet you!
I am Karen, a former midwife turned Postnatal Recovery Expert. After deciding to leave my career as a midwife I now help mums have dry knickers and feel strong in their bodies so they can withstand the physical challenges their future motherhood adventures take them on allowing them to be their best version of mum.
My approach nurtures the newly postnatal body carefully and safely into exercise. I personally find standard exercise boring. So, I bring postnatal exercise classes that are choreographed to upbeat happy music to give it that fun twist, with a bit of laughter and silliness added in for good measure.
After my 6-year-old looked at herself in the mirror and said ‘I hate my body’ I supped up everything I could about the body-positive movement and weaved that into the work that I do. This opens mum's eyes to how incredible their body is for what it has done and still DOES and they stop giving two hoots about how their body looks. The outcome for mums in my world is that they feel powerful in the body they are in just now and call bull to messages society gives them that their body should look different so how their body looks no longer stops them from living life to the fullest.
So, here I am ready to help you, a new mum, build a strong core and body, learn to acknowledge how flaming incredible it is and feel amazing in it. Let’s go!
Who is this for?
New mums who..........
- Want to feel amazing in their body but at the moment feel a worried about their new post baby body.
- Want to learn about and understand their body so they can feel safe and confident returning to exercise.
- Want to feel confident in their pelvic floor again so they can jump on a trampoline with their children and grand children with no leakage.
- Want to learn what is going on with their stomach, how to heal it and to be able to look in the mirror feeling confident and content with it.
- Want to step away from the world's idea of getting their pre baby body back and enjoy the journey to building their incredible strong post baby body so you can confidently go into the world with your children and enjoy the adventure. Think swimming pools and beaches where your body is not your concern but fun with your children is.
- Want to be around uplifting, inspiring, like minded new mums in the first year of their parenting journey and beyond.
- Need a super accessible way to exercise without even having to leave the house or your babies side. (No one will ever know if you work out in your pyjamas)
Melissa and Bee
It has been amazing and a pleasure to be part of your group. You have helped me greatly with my self confidence and love for myself 🥰. Your workouts are fun and effective. I have corrected my Diastasis Recti, amazing as suffered with it since my first over 10 years ago, going from a 6cm plus gap after my last baby to almost nothing now . My core is strong, I'm energised and happy, and that's what you have given me. Thank you so much for all your time and hard work. You offer far more than just a workout. You have the biggest heart, you are amazing!!!
Claire and Zane
‘I love these sessions, they are so fun and much more than the sling/exercise class I thought I was signing us up for! Karen is incredibly supportive, explaining how to engage, love and look after your pp body. Baby Zane is a big fan too and always falls asleep towards the end - perfect as I have some time to collapse and recover in a sweaty mess’
Victoria
'I love the ethos of the group - very supportive and all about appreciating what our bodies have been through and building it back strongly’
More about the Classes......
Live Monday at 10AM and unlimited class on demand.
(optionally Baby Wearing)
- Classes are 35 minutes long with zero anxiety about leaving your baby to exercise as you access the classes from your own lounge on zoom with the option of carrying your baby. Feel confident you are exercising safe as I prompt you to action what you have learnt in the Postnatal Rehabilitation course throughout the classes.
- Choreographed to upbeat feel good music with a dash of laughter and smiles so you forget you are even working out as you are swamped with happy endorphins giving your mental health a boost. Unlimited playback’s of the live classes
- Feel comfortable exercising at your own pace as you choose from the different levels thought the workout. This means you can carefully ease yourself back into exercise or give yourself an advanced workout dependant on where you are on your postnatal journey and how much you slept last night.
- Classes can be done with or without your baby in a carrier. It is usually a 50/50 split of mums choosing to carry their baby or have them next to them playing. Its entirely your choice.

Nice to meet you!
I am Karen, former midwife turned Postnatal Rehabilitation Coach. After deciding to leave my career as a midwife I am now on a mission to hold the hands of new mums on their journey to building a strong, confident post baby body so they can withstand the physical challenges their future motherhood adventures take them on allowing them to be their best version of mum.
My approach nurtures the newly postnatal body carefully and safely bringing women back to exercise. I personally find standard exercise boring. So, I bring exercise classes that are choreographed to upbeat happy music to give it that fun twist, with a bit of laughter and silliness added in for good measure.
After my 6 year old looked at herself in the mirror and said ‘I hate my body’ I have been on a personal mission to understand the message the world is giving us and our children about what our bodies should look like and blimey has it been eye opening. Our bodies are flaming awesome, they have grown and birthed an actual human being. That baby you are looking at…….. you made them. I mean, wow! I go against the grain of what society says our post baby body should look like and instead encourage women to grow their post baby body strong whilst acknowledging how incredible it is however that may look.
So, here I am ready to help you, a new mum, build a strong core and body, learn to acknowledge how flaming incredible it is and feel amazing in it. Let’s go!
If you are not ready to join yet.....

Also go and take a look at my FREE Pelvic Floor Workshop Here which is part my #DryKnickers campaign.
All new mums should get the postnatal information they need to fully physically recover after having a baby. The right knowledge will give them dry knickers, a strong body, and no worries about whether their body can! - That is what my campaign is about.
