Postpartum depression. Did you know how many of us can suffer with postpartum depression? 1 in 10. That’s a scary and sad statistic. Especially if you think how many of those mamas have reached out for help and how many of those mamas are struggling in silence.
Postpartum depression isn’t always noticeable. It can present in so many ways…
It might look like:
‼️ Constant worry about something happening to your baby
‼️ Feeling numb or disconnected from yourself and the world around you
‼️ Losing interest in things you usually love
‼️ Feeling overwhelmed by everyday simple tasks
‼️ Skipping meals or loss of appetite
‼️ Finding it hard to attend to YOUR basic needs
‼️ Feeling hopeless and like things won’t get better
‼️ Feeling anxious or unable to switch off
‼️ Not being able to sleep at night, even if your baby is
‼️ Not feeling like you can ask for help because you “should” be able to cope
‼️ Feeling irritable or bursts of rage
‼️ Finding it hard to bond with your baby
‼️ Feeling like you’re a bad mum
If you feel any of these symptoms, please reach out. Whether that’s to a friend or loved one you trust to support you, the GP, midwife (if you’re still under their care after having baby), or if you feel like you need help immediately… You can reach out to for confidential, emotional support:
⚠️ Samaritans
⚠️ Mind
Asking for help does not make you a bad mum. Asking for help does not mean you’re “unstable”. Asking for help does not mean you’re failing. Asking for help is looking after you, so you can be the best version of you for your baby.
I can’t promise to cure your postpartum depression. But I can guarantee a safe space for you and your baby. I can offer movement for the mind. It’s not going to solve everthing but if I can make 45 minutes of your day feel a little easier 🧡 You can share with me as much or as little as you feel comfortable - I am always happy to listen 👂🧡
Baby Bexercise is the pre and postnatal workout and wellbeing community, tackling maternal mental health through movement and connection. 🧡

You’ve just had your baby and want to start working out again. You also want to start feeling like you again.
Where do you start?
The hardest part of your postnatal fitness journey is often the start. You know you want to get back into movement, but everything seems a lot harder. What can I do? Is this safe for me at this stage? Who’s going to have the kids whilst I go to the gym? Do I even have the time for a workout, amongst everthing else I need to do?
The reason I created Baby Bexercise was to make fitness more accessible for mamas. All mamas, in every stage of motherhood and beyond.
I get it. I know what it’s like to have to choose between my health, my kids, the housework etc. At Baby Bexercise, you get to work out alongside your baby/little ones. The work out is already planned, the equipment is provided. All you have to do is show up 💪🏻 You get to do something for you, and your baby can watch you showing up for yourself (or join in!).
Keep swiping to see if Baby Bexercise would be a good fit for you ➡️🧡
And if you feel it is, drop me a message and we’ll sort out a first free session for you 🧡 (applicable to Baby Bexercise (AM), Stronger Together (PM) Strong Mama (AM), Summer Mama (AM)).
You can also drop me a message at any time with questions regarding any of my classes 🏋🏻♀️

Last Tuesday, I received the incredible news that Baby Bexercise had… WON. 🥹🏆💪🏻🧡
You all helped me to win the title Best Fitness Instructor in Oxfordshire in the 2026 Muddy Awards 🧡
Words cannot begin to describe how much this community means to me. I genuinely love every single one of my classes, and the mamas and babies that I see every week. 🧡 Some of you have been with me since the beginning, worked out with me through multiple pregnancies, turn up every single week without fail or continue to spread the word about what we’re doing here🧡 Fitness for every stage of motherhood and womanhood. Prenatal, postnatal, and beyond 🧡.
Thank you so much to everyone who supports Baby Bexercise, whether that’s by spreading the word, attending my classes, interacting on social media etc.
Thank you to everyone who voted for me. I was up against some incredible instructors so this is an unbelievable achievement for me, one that I’ll never forget! 🥹
