Hi, I’m Emma.

Specialist Women’s Movement Coach 

I’m here to support and guide you through some of life’s most powerful and pivotal transitions; postpartum, perimenopause, and postmenopause, with warmth, compassion, and understanding. To guide women out of the unknown and uncertainty, to a place of empowerment, confidence and continuous, expansive growth.

This work is deeply personal. It’s built from my own lived experiences and knowing that, even though support in postnatal rehabilitation and returning to exercise has improved for women since I started my business 10 years ago - women are still not getting the support they deserve during the antenatal, postnatal, perimenopausal and postmenopause phases of their lives (that’s a lot of phases isn’t it!).  I’m here to help change that.

Where It All Began:

My Personal Story

My journey into this work started after the birth of my son and a traumatic birth experience, where I received no postnatal guidance or support after leaving the hospital or from my midwife on how to manage my recovery or recover from an emergency c-section. I didn’t know how to rehab my body, it wasn’t really even spoken about at this stage, or how to return to movement or exercise I wanted to get back to. But I instinctively knew I needed it.  At this stage I wasn’t a postnatal personal trainer.  I was an asset manager, working in a corporate role as a Chartered Surveyor in London!

So after quickly realising that my situation was not unique to me, I just could not return to my job, knowing that far too many women were navigating this chapter feeling lost, confused, and unsupported. That led to a change of career! I retrained as a personal trainer and over the last decade this has evolved into the business you are reading about now and ignited a mission!

To rewrite the postnatal experience.

To provide women with clarity, support, and accessible tools to feel seen, heard, informed, and empowered.

At the age of 39 I entered perimenopause, with symptoms showing some years earlier and officially recognised in 41, when I started HRT. Once again, I fought to be heard.  In this process I was having to convince doctors of what I knew in my body to be true. And once again, I was faced with silence, gaslighting, dismissal, and a lack of meaningful support. That same determination to do better for women deepened even further. My work has evolved with me and continues to do so, with my work now having supported thousands of women and continuing to support women all the way from the antenatal period through to post menopause, through in-person training and respected online movement programmes; each tailored to meet you and your needs physically, mentally and emotionally.

My Mission: Why This Work Matters So Deeply

Because we deserve better.

Women’s health, especially around pelvic health, postpartum healing, and perimenopause, is still chronically underserved. I believe with the right support, we can course-correct that.

My mission is to break the silence, bust outdated taboos, and provide real, compassionate guidance through every phase of a woman’s life. I create spaces where women feel safe, respected, and truly supported, so they can reclaim trust in their bodies and their wellbeing.

What Makes My Approach Different

You’ll quickly notice that my approach to movement is different.

I bridge the space between rehabilitation and traditional exercise, supporting women with intelligent, whole-body programming that reflects the real, messy, beautiful complexities of life.

My clients describe me as radically compassionate, deeply knowledgeable, warm, honest, and unwavering in my belief in them. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all method. It’s a tailored, progressive approach that meets you exactly where you are physically, emotionally, and mentally with 1-2-1 support from me at the heart of it all.

Who I work with:

I support women at all life stages

  • New mums ready to begin their postnatal rehab from day one postpartum or whenever the time is right for you.

  • Mums with older children who are still navigating the after-effects of birth, or simply haven’t found that right time to focus on themselves yet (far more common than you’d think - it is never too late to start).

  • Women facing pelvic health challenges.

  • Those entering or moving through perimenopause and postmenopause.

  • Those who know the benefits of strength training in midlife, but do not know where to start and more seasoned lifters, who are looking for a different approach.

  • Anyone who has felt sidelined, dismissed, or unsure of where to turn when it comes to movement and wellbeing.

If you’ve lost trust in systems, been failed by professionals, cannot find answers or feel like your body is limiting you, you aren’t alone and this space was created for you.

This work is built on values I live by:

Compassion. Connection. Integrity. Truth. Inclusivity. Realism. Empowerment. Evidence. Growth. Kindness. 

To provide real support that creates both immediate and lasting change, from the moment we start working together.

Whether you’re starting again, think you are starting late (there’s no such thing - ask my Mum!), or starting scared, you're not alone.

Movement can feel good. It can be fun, freeing and deeply empowering.  It can be something that you learn to incorporate into your life, for the rest of your life.  I’ll walk with you every step of the way as you build strength, confidence, and trust in your body and continue to surprise yourself in what you are able to do and how far you have come.  I will coach you, as if you were my mum, my sister, my closest friends.  I just know it’s a place you are going to love to be and you are going to tell your friends and family to join.

If this speaks to you, I’d be honoured to support your journey.
