Pregnancy & postnatal coaching

Personal training for pregnancy, postnatal recovery and returning to strength

Jess supports women before pregnancy, during pregnancy and after birth with practical strength training that adapts to the person in front of her. Sessions are built around your stage, energy, confidence, recovery and medical guidance.

Jess has completed pre and postnatal training, and she also understands the reality of training through her own pregnancy. The goal is not to push through at all costs. It is to help you feel stronger, safer and more supported through a major life stage.

Pregnancy and postnatal exercise should be matched to your health, symptoms and medical advice. Jess works within scope and can adapt training around guidance from your GP, midwife, obstetrician or women's health physio.

Support for each stage

The right program changes depending on whether you are preparing your body before pregnancy, training while pregnant or rebuilding after birth. Jess keeps the plan specific, realistic and responsive.

Before pregnancy

Build a stronger base

Pre-pregnancy personal training can help build strength, movement confidence, fitness habits and a steadier routine before pregnancy becomes part of the picture.

During pregnancy

Train with modifications

Prenatal personal training focuses on appropriate intensity, exercise selection, breathing, posture, pelvic-floor-aware movement and changes that make sense by trimester.

After birth

Return gradually

Postnatal personal training supports a gradual return to exercise after birth, with core recovery, pelvic floor considerations and confidence rebuilt one step at a time.

Why Jess

Qualified support with lived experience

Jess combines 14+ years of personal training experience with completed pre and postnatal education. She can adapt strength training for pregnancy and postnatal clients while keeping the conversation grounded and practical.

Jess understands that pregnancy and postnatal training can feel different physically and mentally. Her approach is calm, practical and confidence-focused, with sessions adapted around what your body needs at each stage.

How sessions change

No one-size-fits-all plan

  • Exercise selection adjusted around trimester, symptoms and comfort.
  • Strength work scaled around energy, load tolerance and recovery.
  • Pelvic-floor-friendly progressions and lower-impact options where needed.
  • Gradual rebuilding after birth, including C-section-aware pacing where relevant.

What the program can help with

Strength

Maintain or rebuild strength with exercises chosen for your current stage rather than a generic program.

Confidence

Know what to change, what to avoid and how to progress without second-guessing every session.

Core recovery

Use postnatal-appropriate progressions that respect pelvic floor, abdominal recovery and symptoms.

Routine

Fit training around sleep, appointments, changing energy and the reality of pregnancy or early motherhood.

Nutrition and supplements

Food-first support with careful supplement guidance

Jess can help keep nutrition practical around energy, protein, hydration, recovery and routine. USANA supplements can still be part of the wider conversation, but pregnancy and breastfeeding are different from general fitness goals.

Any vitamins, minerals, protein powders or supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be checked with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or dietitian first. The safest path is to use the supplements hub for general education, then confirm what is appropriate for your stage and circumstances with your healthcare team.

Medical clearance

When extra advice matters

Jess can modify training, but some situations need medical or women's health physio guidance first. That includes pregnancy complications, pain, bleeding, dizziness, leaking, heaviness, prolapse symptoms, abdominal separation concerns, C-section recovery or returning to higher-impact exercise.

Frequently asked questions

Can I train while pregnant?

Many women can continue exercising during pregnancy when training is adapted to their stage, symptoms, history and medical advice. Jess can modify strength sessions so they are more appropriate for pregnancy.

When can I restart training after birth?

It depends on your recovery, birth type and medical clearance. Postnatal training should be gradual, with core and pelvic floor considerations before rushing back to previous intensity.

Can Jess help after a C-section?

Jess can help rebuild strength gradually once you have appropriate clearance, while respecting healing time, symptoms and any guidance from your healthcare team or women's health physio.

What does pelvic-floor-friendly training mean?

It means choosing and progressing exercises with pelvic floor symptoms, pressure, breathing and impact in mind. If symptoms are present, Jess will encourage women's health physio input.

Is this only for postnatal weight loss?

No. The main goal is to rebuild strength, confidence, movement quality and routine. Body composition can be part of the conversation, but it should not override recovery.

Can I ask Jess about USANA while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes, but product choices should be checked with a qualified healthcare professional first. Jess can keep the conversation practical and food-first while staying within scope.
