    Gentle postnatal guidance for recovery and reconnection

    Whatever kind of birth you've had, it can be helpful to have some time and space to reconnect with your body.

    This journey has been huge and even after you've ridden out the early days of hormonal shifts, you're still getting to know your baby - and yourself as a parent.

    I offer:

    • personal sessions to help you reconnect to your body
    • exploring the matrescence journey and how you're landing as a mum
    • tools to help you reconnect to your body
    • movement practices that can help with core connection and function

  • Your postnatal journey

    adapting to the shifts of new parenting

    This is for you if:

    - you'd like personal support to help you in the early months with a new baby

    You might:

    • have recently given birth

    • be planning for when baby arrives

    suitable for all types of births, whether it's your first baby or you're growing your family.

    This is not for you if:

    • You're looking for in-person, practical support. I highly recommend exploring options for postnatal doulas.

    Emilie's background

    I'm a certified embodiment coach with 18 years experience of supporting mums on their journey to parenthood.

  • This is ideal if you'd like to explore non-clinical support options with an experienced practitioner who can explore options around holistic self care in the weeks and months after birth.

    This can include

    - non-judgmental listening

    - nervous system regulation

    - realistic ideas for functional movement

    - focussing on balacing and making space

    - prioritising kind, gradual shifts over productivity

    "I have been surprised by how making the smallest of movements has had a big impact on the way that my body feels. Let go of all the common things you have been told about the pelvic floor and come to one of Emilie's classes and listen and move more consciously and see what happens."

  • What's different ?

    ✅ Shift habits

    Many people find their daily habits 'undo' the work done in a once-a-week movement or occasional bodywork session.

    ❌ The focus is not on squeezes

    We'll cover how to find your pelvic floor muscles, learn about how they work and give you options for funtional prenatal and postnatal movement.

    ✅ Trauma Informed

    Emilie's a certified embodied trauma coach and works sensitively.

    ❌ Not a pregnancy yoga class

    My background is in prenatal yoga, but this builds on that to offer a modern, biomechanics informed approach.

    ✅ Whole Body Approach

    That means your emotions too. Rather than just looking at the pelvic floor in isolation, we'll be integrating the whole of you. This approach involves moving your body well and treating yourself with kindness.

    ❌ No stress

    This isn't a class. It's more of a reset.

    Little and often - no need to roll out a yoga mat to get started. Building core foundations, calming your nervous system and building awareness.

  • What are sessions like?

    "The best thing has been having the space to slow down and feel into my body.

    Learning about the way the body works and being able to consider a different way of working with the pelvic floor from doing squeezes has also been a real gift."

  • Many people living with leaks also live with the feeling that they can’t do all the things they’d like to in life. A grief for what's missing.

    It takes people an average of 5 years to get help with pelvic floor issues.
    (that sucks.)

    Some exercises can increase pressure on your core and pelvic floor. And potentially make symptoms worse.

    Squeezes don't work for everyone.

    They are not a one-size fits all approach.

  • Emilie's training

    Solidly based in anatomy, embodiment and practical biomechanics.

    As well as the trainings below, Emilie's completed an in-person training with Katy Bowman of Nutritious Movement, and courses in PRESS Yoga and Felmale Pelvic Floor Training with pelvic pain expert Isa Herrera.
