Restore Your Core and Pelvic Floor
After the birth of my second baby, I almost immediately discovered I had also had a prolapse.
I was shocked.
And devastated.
I was a yoga teacher. I’d had straight forward pregnancies and pretty wonderful births. No one told me this was even a possibility.
I was told not to lift anything (I had a new baby and a toddler…) to ‘do my pelvic floor exercises’ and that maybe I’d need surgery… did I mention I had a new baby and a toddler?!
I felt there must be another way. So I began researching.
The first thing I discovered was that I *wasn’t* alone.
I found that women everywhere were getting fobbed off with outdated advice – ‘do your pelvic floor exercises!’ (‘kegals’) – as a blanket response to nearly all core and pelvic floor issues, which often made the situation worse, not better.
I set out to find a healing programme that was more than just kegals – or surgery. It has been a steady and sometimes frustrating journey, but one that has transformed and continues to inform my movement practice and teaching. I hold a teaching qualification in the Restore Your Core® method, a ground breaking programme that helps those with pelvic floor or core dysfunction to rediscover functional movement and body confidence. It is my mission to challenge taboos around pelvic floor and core injuries, and offer holistic, inclusive, movement-based preventions and healing solutions.
Many of my classes, including all pregnancy and postnatal classes, are safe, strengthening and supportive for the pelvic floor / core.
I run specialised Restore Your Core + Pelvic Floor courses and workshops throughout the year. Please check below for upcoming dates, and please do get in touch if you have any questions.
