ABOUT PAN-NATAL PERFORMANCE

My love of fitness and sports has been life-long. However, when I was pregnant in my 40’s, I experienced a complete lack of support to continue exercising from both healthcare professionals (you’re a geriatric pregnancy) and the village elders (you shouldn’t be doing anything at all). But I listened to my body and my baby and kept moving. Once I had a healthy baby, I did find there was more support to return to exercise, but that the exercises I would do from this point would have to be a little bit different.

From these frustrations an idea was born: to provide a fitness service that supports women to keep moving and training throughout their pregnancy and with their new post-natal body. A fitness service that is supportive and personalised. A fitness service that acknowledges and honours the changes a women’s body goes through in early, mid and later life - Pan-Natal Performance.

Pan. Ancient Greek πᾰν- meaning “all”.

Natal. Latin nātālis meaning “of or relating to birth”

Performance. Old French parfournir, meaning “accomplish,” derived from

Latin per- “through” and formāre “to form” or “shape”.

My experience as a scientist, cardiovascular and metabolic researcher, and medical affairs communicator shapes my approach to fitness and personal training. Your personalised programme is informed by the latest peer-reviewed evidence from leader’s in women’s health and fitness. I will also refer and work collaboratively with your healthcare professionals as needed. I'm here to guide you with empathy, expertise, and a deep respect for your unique journey.

Together, we’ll work toward your fitness goals while honouring the incredible transformations that come with being a woman.
