+ MY PROLAPSE JOURNEY +
When I received the news I had a prolapse and I wasn’t able to do heavy weights, squats and high intense exercise…

I was shattered!

As a trainer who needed my pelvic floor to function properly for my job, I was so disheartened.

For 9 months I was angry at my body, angry at the world, scared to do things in case I made my symptoms worse.

But through perseverance and whole lot of patience, I did my rehab work, I strengthened from the inside out, I (very) slowly introduced more load - my whole 1st year postpartum with Jaida I don’t think I squatted more than 2kg’s!

💪I slowly started to feel more confident. I added extra load and waited to see how I felt the next day.

I was fine.

I extended my walks for longer hoping for no heaviness.

I was ok.

I started teaching fitness classes again - symptomatic free.

Then I found out I was pregnant with Kayce at 12 months PP, just as I was feeling extra confident in my pelvic floor 🙃 But I was determined it wasn’t going to send me too far backwards!

I worked alongside a pelvic health physio and maintained as much strength, mobility + core / pelvic floor connection I could throughout my pregnancy.

In the 4th trimester, I rested & I did my rehab work.
By 16 weeks postpartum, I had the all clear to JUMP and I was feeling the strongest I have ever felt!

I have reached my heaviest PB’s with squats + deadlifts. I am back jumping and can do box jumps with no symptoms and I am back playing my beloved netball and swinging off a pole - no symptoms!

BUT… I still have to modify.

Some days I can’t jump.

If it’s the first day of my period, I feel heavy all day!

I prioritise being horizontal and resting as much as I can.

I still have to continue to work on my pelvic floor.

Having a prolapse is a rollercoaster of a journey! But if you have been diagnosed with one and have been told you can NEVER lift heavy weights or jump ever again - with patience, perseverance + a whole lot of listening to your body, you can feel the strongest you’ve ever felt and get back to the exercises you love 💕 Safe Pre & Postnatal Exercise for Mums

+ PROLAPSE SYMPTOMS +
Here’s me on day 1 of my cycle - the only time I’m now symptomatic with my prolapse.
But it wasn’t always this way.

When I was first diagnosed with a prolapse, my symptoms were much more frequent and intense.

I would feel symptoms if I’d been on my feet for more than an hour, lifted something too heavy or spent too much time carrying my daughter around.

Back then, the heaviness and pressure felt constant and I second guessed every movement in fear id make my prolapse worse.

Now?
 I usually only notice symptoms on day 1-2 of my period, especially if I’ve also been on my feet all day.

That change didn’t happen by accident.

It happened with the right support, guidance and learning how to work with my body instead of against it.

If you’re unsure what prolapse symptoms can feel like, they may include:
• A bulge at the vaginal opening or near the anus • Heaviness in the pelvic floor • Pressure or dragging in the pelvis
• Feeling like your insides are “falling out”
• Leaking urine, urgency or incomplete emptying of bladder or bowel
• Constipation
• Pain or discomfort during in*******se
• Most symptoms are worse at the end of the day or with prolonged standing

And here’s what I want you to know: a prolapse diagnosis does not automatically mean lifelong symptoms.

With support from a pelvic health physio (to assess what’s happening internally) and a trainer who understands prolapse-safe movement, symptoms can improve significantly.

You can move confidently again. You can exercise again. You can feel strong and comfortable in your body again.

Symptomatic today doesn’t mean symptomatic forever 💜

Wha symptoms did you feel early postpartum? 👇

+ PROLAPSE AWARENESS MONTH IN JUNE+
When I was diagnosed with a pelvic organ prolapse at 5 weeks postpartum, it felt like a life sentence.

I was told this was something I’d have forever.

I was angry because I was trying to avoid a c-section so I didn’t have to do a 12 week recovery but instead ended up with an instrumental birth where I might have symptoms for life!!*

*Instrumental birth isn’t the only risk factor, pregnancy itself can be a risk factor.

Not once was I told about prolapse risks - even as a trainer who had completed a pelvic floor course.

As a personal trainer, I immediately started questioning everything:
❌ Would I ever run again? ❌ Could I lift weights? ❌ Would exercise make it worse? ❌ Was my job over?

For months, fear dictated how I moved.

I avoided lifting.
I stopped trusting my body.
Every symptom felt like a sign I was causing more damage.

But here’s what I wish every woman knew:
A prolapse diagnosis does not mean the end of movement.

It doesn’t mean you have to give up exercise, strength training, running, sport or feeling strong in your body.

With the right support from a pelvic health physiotherapist you can learn how to manage symptoms, rebuild confidence and return to the activities you love.

And with the education now as a MumSafeTM trainer, you can trust these trainers to guide you and support you to feel stronger - even then before - in your postpartum body.

Today, 3.5 years postpartum after my second, I can squat 60kg, play netball, lift my children and move confidently without fear.

Do I still have a prolapse? Yes.
Does it control my life? No.

For Prolapse Awareness Month, I’m sharing my story because too many women are suffering in silence, thinking they’re broken or that this is “just something they have to live with.”

You are not alone and there is help available. 💜

To find your closest pelvic health physio or Mumsafe trainer, head to the Safe Pre & Postnatal Exercise for Mums website.

For Sunbury local, highly recommend Erica at Physio | Clinical Pilates and of course myself, for prolapse safe movement 💪

+ 14 YEARS 💪🥳 +
14 years ago I was told PT’s have an average career lifespan of 2 years….

I was told in Year 12 I was throwing my life away and not reaching my full potential by my teachers for choosing a PT course over a uni degree…

But here I am 14 years later:
💪 Still in the fitness industry
💪 Still loving my job
💪 Still as passionate as ever to help women move their body in a confident and comfortable way

My journey:
👩‍🎓 Straight out of high school, into a 6 month PT course.
🏋️‍♀️Work experience at Contours where I was offered my first job as a PT
💪 Where I then spent the next 8 years helping women of Sunbury move their body at Contours / Freedom Fitness by teaching Pump, Spin, Dance, Fitball, Boxing, Kidfit and a bunch of circuits + 1:1 PT sessions
🚴🏼‍♀️ Before COVID I was casually still teaching Spin, Boxing and Core classes in gyms in Sunbury and surrounding areas
💻 Then COVID hit, gyms shut down and I took a “break from fitness” but was still helping people move their body through lockdown with weekly live Dance sessions until I became pregnant with Jaida
👉 4 months postpartum I got the urge to return to fitness and stated to teach casually at a local gym… until once again COVID shut us down
💜 During lockdown my passion to help keep women exercising in a comfortable and supportive space became loud and I realised the only way to achieve this goal was to take a chance and run my own classes on my terms
🤩 Beautiful + Balanced Bodies was born and February 2022 I started to run my own classes out of Action Indoor Sports Centre… the same day I launched my classes I found out I was pregnant with Kayce 😅
💪 2023 classes returned in a more personalised, supportive way at Sunbury Osteopathy before half way through the year, my home studio was built (thanks hubby ❤️).
😍 Here we are another 3 years later, helping over 50 women to reach their fitness goals, feel supported while doing it and moving in a way that aligns best with them - with no judgement

Thank you to each and everyone of you for supporting me on this journey 💜Especially those that have been here since I was a fresh 18 year old learning on the job 💛

+ MOVE YOUR WAY +
If you’ve been following along with all my “movement” content over the past few weeks, you will see I’m VERY passionate about women moving their bodies in any way possible.

It doesn’t have to be perfect.
It doesn’t have to be “instagram-worthy”.
It doesn’t have to be complicated.

It is the whole reason why Beautiful + Balanced Bodies exists!

I wanted to create a space where women could move their bodies in an achievable way.

That means:
💪 Every session and every exercise can be modified to suit members - wherever they are at on their fitness journey, however they feel on the day and whatever ailments they might be dealing with.

💪 All classes are child friendly so every mum can still move their body without waiting (and hoping) for that alone time which is often rare, without feeling like a burden and without the guilt of putting themselves first.

💪 You choose how often you can come - we have members who come 1x a week and can now do things they never thought they could do. We have members that come a few times a week. We have women that casually come to a Saturday when they can (or when we dance). Because we know all movement matters!

💪 There is NO “pre-baby body”, NO “no pain no gain”, NO “sweat is your fat crying” talk in our studio. This is a safe space where women can move at their own pace without judgement to help every women feel comfortable and confident.

If you are looking for that extra support and accountability to get you moving consistently:
👉 Join our midterm intake for our Wednesday AM small group PT sessions
👉 Join us every Saturday 8:30am at Dulap Wilim Hub (no membership required)
👉 Join the waitlist for Term 3 starting Monday 13th of July

+ FREE MOVEMENT CHALLENGE +
Busy women don’t need more pressure.

They need movement that fits real life!

Join my FREE 5 DAY MOVE HER WAY challenge 💪

5 workouts.
Less than 10 minutes.
No perfection required.

So if you’ve been craving to move your body more but feel like there is absolutely no time in the world…

THIS IS YOUR SIGN ⚠️

+ REALITY CHECK +
For the woman who wants to start…
But think she needs look, eat, train and live like Instagram says she should.

The health and fitness industry has convinced women they need to become a completely different person before they can start.

You need abs. You need discipline. You need meal prep containers. You need matching activewear. You need to train 6 days a week. You need to cut sugar. You need to earn your food.

❌No

You need habits that actually fit your life.

Because the women I see succeed long term aren’t the women chasing perfection.

They’re the women eating chocolate without guilt, doing 10-minute workouts when life gets busy, grabbing convenient food when needed and showing up imperfectly over and over again.

If you’ve been waiting until you feel “ready” or “good enough”...

🛑 This is your sign to stop waiting.

Start messy. Start small. Start exactly where you are.

Drop a ❤️ if you’re done with the all-or-nothing bu****it
