strong through every stage of motherhood
Pregnancy, birth, and recovery change your body — but they don’t have to disconnect you from it. Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy, currently expecting, newly postpartum, or rebuilding months (or years) later, there’s a pathway here for you.
If you want more than “you’ll be fine.”
Whether you're…
1. Preparing your body for pregnancy
2. Navigating the physical changes of trimester 2 or 3
3. In the early weeks of postnatal recovery
4. Rebuilding strength months (or years) after birth
5. Wanting specialist pelvic floor support
You deserve movement that understands what your body has experienced — and where it’s going next.

Pre and postnatal Pilates isn't just “regular Pilates with modifications.”
Your core, pelvic floor, breath, posture, and nervous system all shift significantly throughout this journey. Generic fitness advice can feel confusing — or worse, unsafe. Your body is changing, which means your guidance and support should, too.
Here, every programme and session is designed specifically for the pregnant and postnatal body. You’ll learn how to:
1. Strengthen safely without overloading
2. Support and retrain your pelvic floor
3. Improve posture and reduce common aches
4. Rebuild deep core stability
5. Progress confidently at the right pace
This is a thoughtful, stage-appropriate approach that honours your body’s timeline.
Yes, we build physical strength — a strong core, pelvic floor, posture, and resilience.
But what women so often gain goes far beyond that.
Reduced pain that once felt life-limiting.
Less anxiety.
More confidence.
A sense of control and trust in their bodies again.
Friendships. Community. Joy.
I’ve seen women move from fear to empowerment. From isolation to connection. From years of discomfort to freedom of movement — and freedom of mind.
Your body deserves guidance, not generic advice and guesswork
What changes when women trust their bodies again.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

"I didn't have a lot of core strength after having a baby and was also suffering from anxiety about my body after giving birth. My back problems and the various aches and pains I get from being a mum have really improved from Pilates and I am learning to feel good about my body again."
ALICE
"Within three sessions I really felt a difference in my body and a control of muscles I had lost since giving birth, Had I not started Pilates I would, without a doubt, still be struggling with pelvic floor issues and suffering constant back and neck pain as a result of looking after the twins."

"I learnt about pelvic floor and how to start with simple moves; it gave me that feeling of regaining my body back again and started my progress towards being fit. I feel like I've learnt to stay in tune with my body a lot more and take the time for myself. I have felt myself get stronger each week!"

"It felt good to be moving my body and know that I'm in the right hands - I fully trusted Clare's knowledge on post natal exercises. My body tone has really improved, my core muscles, arms and shoulders are much stronger. If I hadn't joined, I am not sure I would have got to my strength so quickly after birth."

"I started Pilates with Clare prenatally, and was keen to start again after I'd had my baby. The breathing techniques, core and pelvic floor exercises have an immediate effect. You start to hold yourself more upright and feel more 'zipped up' straight away. It's obvious from the first class that Clare is a great instructor. She explains what you are doing clearly and adapts the exercises for everyone there. The results are immediately obvious. I gained all over muscle tone and strength, abdominal seperation reduced and improved pelvic floor strength.

“I started Pilates with Clare 5 years ago when she was running post-natal classes and my son was 4 months old. Having done Pilates for over 15 years I’m quite fussy with teachers, but Clare is exceptional. She adapts exercises brilliantly for different levels, so classes are always challenging and interesting. If I skip a week of Pilates with Clare my desk-bound back complains!”
