“OMG, I feel so much calmer now.”
“I actually feel ready.”
“I had no idea leg position could change how much space you create for pushing.”

These were some of the reactions after my last Born Ready workshop.

And this is exactly why I created it.

Not to tell women there’s one “right” way to give birth.
Not to promise how your birth will look like.
But to help you actually understand what your body is doing.

We look at birth biomechanics, movement, positioning, breathing, pushing, core + pelvic floor. The practical MUST KNOWS to take charge of YOUR birth, instead of handing it over to someone else.

And we don’t just talk about it. We practise it.
Because you don’t need to control your birth. But you should be prepared to participate in it.

I’m away for the next 6 weeks, so the next workshop date isn’t open yet.

Comment BORN READY and I’ll add you to the waitlist. 🤍

They often tell me the same thing - ‘’I am feeling constantly behind’’.

No matter if pregnant, early postpartum or already a few years into motherhood - so many women tell me the same thing.

Behind at work.
Behind at home.
Behind with my health. And how my body feels and looks like.

Like you’re failing somewhere no matter how hard you try.

But maybe the problem isn’t you.

The latest National Working Families Report with more than 6200 respondents of working parents found:

• 74% of women say they’re stressed.
• 42% struggle to look after their own physical and mental health while balancing work and family.
• Half of working parents say they’re too physically or emotionally drained after work to fully show up for their family.

That isn’t because women suddenly became less capable.

It’s because we’re trying to do two full-time jobs.
One at work.
One at home.
And somewhere in the middle we’re expected to look after ourselves too.

You don’t need to become more resilient.

You need to understand what’s happening and why it’s happening to all of us, when we become mothers.

❤️ Follow if you want to finally understand that everything you’re experiencing is not just in your head. It’s part of the process of becoming a mother and there’s a different way of experiencing it all.

A lighter one, a more peaceful one.

I’d love to show it to you 🤍.

I read an article this week about why so many working mothers leave the workforce.

But that wasn’t what stayed with me. I kept thinking about the woman who doesn’t leave. The woman who keeps showing up. Who keeps achieving.

Who keeps telling herself...
“Just get through this next project.”
“When work settles down, I’ll feel better.”
“When the kids are a little older, I’ll feel like myself again.”

The article talked about the women who leave.

But I wonder how many stay while quietly wondering what happened to the woman they used to be.

Not because they’ve become less capable.

Not because they’re no longer ambitious.

But because no one prepared them for how much becoming a mother can change the way they see themselves, their work and the life they want to create.

Maybe that’s why so many women think something is wrong with them.

Maybe they’re trying to solve the wrong problem.

Maybe the goal isn’t to get back to who you were.

Maybe it’s to get to know the woman you’re becoming.

Most fitness advice for pregnant women is one of two things:
Push through. Or stop completely.

Both are wrong. And both cost you more than you think.

Your body right now is not just something you maintain.
It is the foundation everything else is built on.

Think of your body like like a building.
You’ve already built something strong.
But a cracked foundation doesn’t collapse immediately - it shows up later.
In your recovery. Your energy. Your confidence. Your relationship.

Strong body → calm nervous system.
Calm nervous system → self trust.
Self trust → ripple effect on everything.

In Business. Your Birth. Your Recovery. Your Marriage.

EVERYTHING.

This is not motivation. This is what I build with every woman I work with.

Before she needs it. Not after.
