"Once postnatal, always postnatal." 🤍

It's something I say a lot in class - because it's true, and because nobody really explains what it means until you're living it.

That's why I’m hosting "Nobody Told Me" on Tuesday 15 September with @‌growingmums.stalbans. A morning to talk openly about your postnatal body, move gently together, and connect with other mums who just get it.

No judgement. No pressure. Just honest conversation and light refreshments in the park (weather permitting!).

🎟️ Early bird £25, until 1 Sept 📍 Greenwood Park, St Albans

Is this what you feel like you need right now??

Just to lie down and be left alone?!!

The kids are back in school, the routines are clicking back into place, and somehow you're already exhausted again.

This is exactly the moment we quietly slip ourselves back to the bottom of the list - because everyone’s diary is suddenly full again and there's "no time" for anything else.

Sound familiar?

My upcoming Centred Mums Retreat is your reminder that autumn doesn't have to mean disappearing into everyone else's schedule. One day, just for you, to breathe before the pace picks up again.

Sunday 8th November, Cucumber Fields, Hertfordshire 🍂

Nobody tells you what actually happens to your body after birth. So we're here to support you ❤️

Join me and @‌growingmums.stalbans on Tuesday 15 September for a morning of honest talk, gentle movement, and real connection.

🎙️ An open conversation about your postnatal body — pelvic floor, abdominal function, and all the things nobody warned you about

💪 Gentle movement guidance for building strength that actually fits your life

🤩 Light refreshments + a chance to connect with other mums (bring a picnic and stay on in the park!)

Whether you're pregnant, newly postnatal, or years down the line — once postnatal, always postnatal. This one's for every stage.

📍 Greenwood Park, St Albans
🗓️ Tues 15 Sept, 10:45am–12:15pm

🎟️ Early bird £25 (until 1 Sept) — https://bookwhen.com/centredmums/e/ev-sbgug-20260915104500

At this point in the summer holidays it can really feel a lot. You’ve already got through a good chunk but there is still a long way to go! I have had summer holidays where I have got to the end and felt completely broken (hoping to avoid that this year with everything I have in place….we will see!!)

But if you are a mum who's running on empty at this point, I see you.

If you are a mum who gives everyone else the best of her energy and is left with whatever's scraped off the bottom by the time she gets a minute to herself. The one who's forgotten what it feels like to just be, without a job to do or a person to look after.

The Centred Mums Retreat is a women-only day, away from the noise, where the only thing on your to-do list is you. No performing, no multitasking, no "just five more minutes." A full day to properly exhale.

Sunday 8th November — spaces are limited, so if this is speaking to you, don't wait too long 💫.

I am so looking forward to running an event with Growing Mums - St Albans in September. We have created what new mums NEED - community, education and support!

Bust the myths, ditch the guesswork and future proof your pelvic floor - for mums of every age and stage.

🎙️ Informal Talk on Your Postnatal Body

A supportive discussion covering what to expect after birth - once postnatal, always postnatal is a common saying because your body is forever changed and that is a good thing!! Topics include abdominal function and pelvic floor awareness, common concerns, and how to approach exercise safely and realistically. There’s space for questions so you can feel supported and guided in your new body.

💪 Gentle Movement Advice
A calm, guided session focused on the most important things to focus on to allow you not just to exercise but to live life as you want to - to be able to run after your toddler without leaking, to be able to jump on a trampoline with your kids. Including exercises and movement you can fit into your day - gently rebuilding strength, improving mobility, and supporting recovery. Suitable for all levels, with a strong emphasis on listening to your body rather than pushing limits.

🤩 Q&A and social
To finish, we gather for some light refreshments (hopefully in the park if the weather allows!) —an opportunity to connect, share experiences, ask any burning questions about how to support your body best at this time and build community.

This event is for mums to attend with or without their babies / little ones, and the environment is designed to be flexible and judgment-free. Light refreshments will provided during the session and talk (included in your ticket price), but do bring your own picnic food so you can stay in Greenwood Park afterwards for a mingle and a chat!

When you arrive at Cucumber Fields it’s almost like there is something different in the air. My body obviously has such positive associations with the place because it’s like as soon as I arrive there I can breathe a little deeper.

That’s why so many people come back to my retreats again and again. They are something special.

When did you last stop? Not sit down for five minutes with a lukewarm cup of tea while you mentally run through the school bag, the packed lunches, and whatever's next on the list. Actually stop.

So many of us live in a low hum of anxiety that we don't even notice anymore, because it's just... normal now. We've forgotten what it feels like not to be "on."

The Centred Mums Retreat is one day where nobody needs anything from you. No one to feed, ferry, referee, or reassure. Just you, some space, and time to properly rest - the kind of rest that actually resets you, not the kind you have to recover from.

I missed my annual birth post this year — too busy celebrating 10 years of my wonderful daughter. She is so epic, and I love her more every day. 🎂

Looking back, I wish I’d known more about Biomechanics for Birth back then. Maybe things would have gone differently. Maybe not. But it’s a good reminder: birth doesn’t have to be scary.

It might be hard. It might take time. But the rising rates of intervention we see say more about the system than about what women’s bodies are capable of.

I don’t have photos from my oldest daughter’s birth - it was highly medicalised, and it was just as empowering as this one. Both of my births taught me the same thing: however you birth, it can still be yours.

Summer's here, the diary's full, and you still haven't booked your day. 👀

Sunday 8th November - Re-Treat Day at Cucumber Fields is filling up, and once it's gone, that's it until next time.

One day. No responsibilities. Just Pilates, breath work, a sound bath, good food, and a room full of mums who completely get it.

Give yourself this before the year runs away with you.

A little behind the scenes while I get everything ready for November's Re-Treat Day 🌾

I started running these days back in 2021, after realising just how much I needed permission to stop - not just teach Pilates, but actually look after myself too. Therapy, breathwork, slowing down… it changed everything for me and my family.

So now I get to create this for other mums. A full day of movement, stillness, good food and real connection, away from the noise.

If you've been waiting for a sign to book your day off; this is it. 8th November, Cucumber Fields.
