Pre Natal Training

It is an exciting time, but for many women the physical and psychological changes during pregnancy can cause anxiety. Exercise can help keep expectant mothers feeling physically and mentally strong.

Benefits of pre natal training:

  • Increases body strength to prepare for a shift in your centre of gravity and growing bump
  • Breathing correctly helps maintain pelvic floor function
  • Improves mood
  • Decreases risk of gestational diabetes
  • Improves posture
  • Alleviates aches and pains
  • Improves sleep quality

Laura will create a bespoke programme for you based on your trimester, your previous exercise experience, current energy levels and any issues (pelvic girdle pain, lower back pain, low blood pressure etc) you might have.

If you have been advised not to exercise during your pregnancy gentle stretches and breath work (linking breath with movement) will also have a positive effect on your mind and body.

Before your session

It is essential that you have your Doctor/ Midwife’s consent before you commence an exercise programme.

If you are breastfeeding try to feed just before the session as you will be more comfortable.

  • “Sessions with Laura ensure I do at least one session of exercise a week and even with just that one session I have seen a great improvement in my strength, flexibility and my overall health. She keeps me motivated, always tailors the sessions to how I’m feeling and despite how I feel before the session I always feel good after.”

  • “I can’t recommend Laura enough as a personal trainer. She is great at keeping the sessions varied and interesting and really makes the most of the hour session. She is also a complete natural with children and will be happy to hold/entertain your baby if they decide they want to be awake and join the session! I’ve really noticed an improvement in my strength since working with Laura and she really inspires me to keep doing regular exercise between sessions.”

  • “Laura has been an amazing trainer helping me get back into shape post baby. It was a slightly daunting prospect getting back into exercise after my c section but Laura has made the sessions fun and challenging. Laura is also a super star with baby, a complete natural and is on hand to deal with any baby melt downs mid session! We both look forward to our weekly sessions.”
