The final video in my core series for Mums of Steel. Here I talk about alignment and how it can affect the healing of your diastasis recti. If you haven’t already seen them, here is part 1 and part 2. For an assessment and programme to help establish optimal alignment for diastasis repair, contact me for your free personal […]
The second in my video series for Mums of Steel, looking at how our breathing technique affects the core. An important part of core training that is often overlooked! If you haven’t watched Part 1, click here to watch it first. To make sure your post natal training is on the right track book onto […]
This is the first of 3 videos I did for Mums of Steel about the post natal core, looking at why the core doesn’t mean the abs, and what muscles we should be focusing on. To watch the next video, explaining the importance of the ‘core breath’ and it’s role in stabilisation, watch part 2 here. For a […]
I’ve called this chicken stock, but that’s purely because that’s how I tend to use it. But broth, soup, stock; it’s all the same really. I’ve written about the benefits to healing diastasis recti here, but this stuff really is packed with of all kinds of goodness. It’s full of gelatin, which is a digestive aid, and the […]
1 I don’t think it’s news to anyone that diet plays a vital role in overall health. There’s advice everywhere: what to eat to boost the immune system, boost energy, get healthier looking skin and hair…. I could go on.

I’m sure you’ve all been told before how great squats are for the glutes, and while the humble squat is an awesome exerise, when it comes to getting buns of steel there’s more than one way to skin a cat, as they say. Here we’re going to show you a few alternatives to throw some variety […]

I have fussy little eaters as children. It could be worse: they’re not always bad. The youngest started out as an eat-anything-and-everything kind of baby. And the oldest is getting better. But they will both regularly greet the food I prepare with a “yuk” (yes, they are well raised and polite little cherubs, aren’t they?) […]
I don’t think any mum has ever looked back at the first year of her child’s life and thought, “I wish I’d done more cleaning. Those dusty skirting boards still haunt me”. What you do look back at and cherish are those moments when you are in a place of absolute peace; your baby is smiling […]
1 That may sound like a joke that my son made up, but it will make sense soon. Unlike my son’s jokes: Him: What do you call a man flying? Me: We don’t know Him: Me don’t know Me: ? But it’s your joke. Him:……….. Me: Fred? Him: Yes. What do you call a flower […]
