Maternally Fit conducts exercise classes for pregnant and post-natal women. All classes are conducted by a Physiotherapist, with specialist training in exercise for pregnancy and the post-natal (after birth) period. Our classes are appropriate for both the novice and experienced exerciser, and each class will be individually tailored to your fitness needs and abilities. Classes are one hour in duration and consist of both cardio-vascular fitness and strength training. Classes are based around the use of the exercise ball and hand weights. Classes have a particular focus on core stability and pelvic floor training – the muscles you need to support your growing baby and your changing body. To enable Maternally Fit to give you the highest level of care, we take detailed information about many aspects of your pregnancy, and continue to monitor you throughout your time with us. To enable you to get the most out of our program, we expect members to attend at least one class per week. Classes are pre-booked and pre-paid. Our ultimate goal is for you to have a happy, healthy pregnancy, physically preparing you for one of the greatest challenges of your life – motherhood.

During our prenatal meetings we will discuss your birth options, work on your birth plan, and discuss how we can make your birth a positive, and empowering experience. During the labour I will help you to feel safe and supported, making you comfortable with massage, acupressure or cold compresses, and helping you and your partner advocate for yourselves. I will stay until breastfeeding is established. In the 10 days after the birth I will make 1 postnatal visit, which will give you an opportunity to process the birth and to ask questions about breastfeeding or newborn care. Postnatal Support We will meet prenatally to create a personalised postnatal support plan. Once your baby is born we will schedule visits typically 3 or 4 hours in length. The goal of my work is to nurture you and your family and to give you confidence in your parenting skills: helping you adjust to your new lives as parents, giving you a chance to re-charge, offering guidance on newborn cues, supporting you […]
