The inspiration for Empowered Women's Collective comes from my experiences during pregnancy and recovery after birth. Even though my babies were small, I didn't recognise my own belly after my second birth! I struggled with diastasis recti - "a separation of the abdominal wall". I had urinary incontinence - leaking when I sneezed and coughed, not to mention running and jumping...crikey! During my pregnancy I also had some aches and pain in my lower back and sciatica so had to stop doing what I loved, and that was lifting weights. 

 

I found it so hard to get any sort of useful or effective advice on what I should and shouldn't be doing both pre and postnatal birth and realised there must be other women like me. 

​

I have been an avid athlete my entire life. I grew up in Australia and played every sport under the sun (pardon the pun), then turned to strength and conditioning when I moved to the UK 8 years ago. I have competed in many fitness races and even bodybuilding competitions.

 

My passion for fitness and experiences as a mum led me to change careers. I am on a path to continually educate myself in the realm of women's health, learning from the best and continually adapting my methods to be the best I can be for my clients. So here we are today. I created this space to give you the support you deserve. To help reclaim your body and confidence.
