If you work in women’s health and you’ve ever felt like you’re figuring it out alone — this is for you.

I filmed this video to share exactly why I set up the Mae Mentorship Programme, what’s inside it, and what it actually looks like to be part of a cohort.

Because when I was building my pelvic health practice, I had the clinical training — but not the community, the case support, or anyone to call when I was stuck. I wanted to change that.

The Mae Mentorship is a six-month programme for physiotherapists, coaches, and personal trainers working in women’s health. Each cohort is capped at 12 so it stays genuinely personal — monthly 1:1 calls, group Q&As, and an expert webinar library you can actually use in clinic.

The early bird offer closes today.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence, this is the nudge. Drop me a message or hit the link in bio to find out more.

You’re not second-guessing yourself because you’re not good enough.

You’re second-guessing yourself because you’re working without a safety net.

The July Mae Mentorship cohort is now open — and early bird closes tomorrow.

For the next 6 months you get monthly 1:1 case reviews with me, access to the expert webinar library, and a small cohort of women’s health practitioners who are working through the same complexity you are.

£489 for 6 months. Or 3 x £165.

Early bird closes 29th May — after that, the bonuses go and the price increases.

Staying cool in pregnancy isn’t just about comfort — it matters clinically.

Your blood volume is up by 50%, your core temperature rises faster, and your body is working harder than it ever has. Hot weather adds to that load.

Swipe for five things that will actually help — from hydration to exercise timing to the underrated power of a cool flannel on your wrists.

Save this one for the summer months.

Topical vaginal oestrogen comes up in my clinic more than almost any other recommendation — and I regularly write to GPs on behalf of patients to suggest it.

It is not just a menopause treatment. It is a tissue health intervention that is relevant at multiple stages of a woman’s life: postnatally while breastfeeding, during perimenopause, and beyond.

The evidence is strong. The safety profile is excellent. And it is routinely overlooked.

If you’re experiencing dryness, discomfort, perineal sensitivity, or recurrent UTIs and nobody has mentioned this to you — ask. You deserve to know your options.

Pelvic health content on Instagram is full of noise. Here’s where I stand.

A lot of what circulates — on pregnancy exercise, pelvic floor training, diastasis — is vague, exaggerated, or not referenced at all. I try to do things differently here, but I also want to be transparent: social media can inform, it can’t replace individual assessment. If something resonates but also worries you, that’s a good sign you’d benefit from being seen in person.

My DMs are always open.

This message from my inbox and honestly - this is exactly why I built the mentorship.

Confidence in patient consultations isn’t something that just comes with time. It comes from having the right knowledge, the right support, and someone to work through the complex cases with you.

Ruth is a pelvic health physiotherapist. She wasn’t new to it. She just needed the right environment to deepen what she already knew and start trusting herself more with every patient she saw.

That’s what the July cohort is for.

The single most common finding in my clinic isn’t weakness — it’s a pelvic floor that’s strong but not reflexive. Here’s what that means and why it matters.
The reflex contraction — the automatic response to a cough, sneeze, or jump — is entirely separate from your voluntary squeeze. Both can be trained, but they’re trained very differently, and treating one as the other is why so many women plateau.

If Kegels haven’t moved the needle for you, book a session and let’s actually look at what’s happening.

The research on training in pregnancy has taken off in recent years — and it is genuinely changing how we should be working with active pregnant women.
The 140bpm heart rate rule? From 1985. No data behind it. Long gone.

Current WHO guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week during pregnancy — including proper strength training — with good evidence that it reduces the risk of pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, and gestational hypertension. No increased risk to the baby.

We even have data on elite athletes training at significant volumes throughout pregnancy and going on to deliver at term without complication.

So the question is no longer “is it safe?” — it’s “how do we actually support these women well?”

Because when someone is leaking on a run or noticing pelvic heaviness after training, that isn’t a reason to stop. That’s load intolerance. That’s clinical information. And knowing what to do with it is a skill.

This is exactly the kind of topic we cover inside Mae Mentorship. The July cohort is open — link in bio if you want to know more.

The conversation around how babies arrive can feel overwhelming — especially when there’s so much noise about which way is better.

The reality is that birth decisions are shaped by so many things. Maternal preference, clinical factors, previous experience, or circumstances that unfolded quickly and without warning. Every one of those is different, and every person carries that experience differently.

NICE guidelines support your right to be part of that conversation — including requesting a c-section. And if you’ve had a difficult birth before, a birth debrief through your maternity unit is something you can ask for.

Both routes carry real risks and real recovery demands. Neither is the easy option.

Birth is birth. Closing out c-section awareness month as I started it — by trying to reduce the noise and make space for what people actually need.
