FAQs ABOUT FITNEST MAMA

FitNest Mama is created by a qualified and practicing physiotherapist – not a general personal trainer. Kath has worked with women of all life stages and abilities, and provides different levels and modifications to help you safely look after your body during your phase of motherhood.

What’s more, FitNest Mama provides holistic care – it’s more than workouts and information. It has input from dieticians, midwives, respected hypnobirthing experts, and more.

If you're very early after birth 0-6 weeks, FitNest helps to provide support and advice to help you rest and recover. Then once you've had medical clearance and you feel like your body is ready for it, you can commence our postnatal workouts.

FitNest Mama has a selection of gentle workouts that has been created for mamas with an achey pelvis or back. In addition, all workouts are created by a perinatal physiotherapist , and modifications are always provided for those in discomfort.

Of course, you should never put up with pain and it is always recommended you consult your healthcare provider if you have any concerns. But in addition, there are pelvic-pain friendly workouts and resources to help you with self-management strategies for your pain - including spikey ball massage, tips for sleeping, stretches and more. FitNest will perfectly compliment any hands-on/face to face treatment you may require.

In addition, there are a whole heap of resources to help with your after birth recovery from 0-6 weeks, including info to help support your abdominal separation (diastasis rectus abdominis), and your first poo!

FitNest isn’t about being “fit”, it is about feeling great, and moving in a way that is going to help your body rejuvenate and restore, so that you can get the most out of your stage of motherhood.

FitNest not only offers Live Pilates Classes, but also a large library of on-demand (24/7) workouts, along with modifications for different levels of ability. FitNest Mama’s learnings are self-paced for every stage of your pregnancy and postnatal journey. This means you don’t need to have a certain level of fitness or experience.
