Winner: Top Pre & Postnatal Trainer in NSW
Your body is doing something extraordinary, and it deserves training that respects that without wrapping you in cotton wool. This is the work I love most.
What I see again and again is that women can usually do much more than they’ve been told. The goal is to keep you strong, comfortable and confident, adapting as your body changes rather than stopping altogether.
There’s no rush and no single timeline. This is roughly how a return to training tends to look, and we’ll move at whatever pace your body sets.
Rest, breathing, gentle connection with your core and pelvic floor, and short walks.
Once you’re cleared, rebuilding core and glute strength and getting comfortable moving again.
Adding load and variety, and working on the strength that lifting a growing baby asks of you.
Back to the training you love, and often stronger than before. Running, lifting, whatever’s next.
C-section recovery, diastasis and rib flare all get extra attention, and I’m always happy to work alongside your women’s health physio.
Coming soon
Six weeks of breath work, gentle core reconnection and plain-English notes on what’s normal and what’s worth getting checked. Free, because the first weeks are about healing, not training.

Cleared to exercise, but cleared to do what? This program starts with a proper screen (diastasis, pelvic floor, breathing), then rebuilds in order, all the way back to lifting, running or class.

Omnia Movement in Manly, or at home around Cremorne and Manly
The most tailored option, and the one I recommend if you have pain, a diastasis, or just want someone keeping a close eye. Home visits make life much easier with a newborn, and bub can join in.

In their words
“I’m a chiropractor and have trained with many Pilates/yoga teachers over the years, and I can say that hands down, Bridget is the best I’ve ever come across, by far. Her knowledge, experience and classes are excellent and I’ve sent many patients her way without any concern.”
“I did 1-1 classes with Bridget throughout my pregnancy, she had a really good understanding of the changes I was going through and how I would need to adapt my Pilates. At the same time, I found she really pushed and challenged me to advance (even as I was getting bigger!), much more so than any other prenatal exercise I did. I went into birth and recovery feeling super strong and fit thanks to Bridget!”
“After my second child, I was stiff, experiencing lower back pain and a bit unsure about how to restart exercise. Doing Pilates with Bridget really helped me build back my strength and flexibility. She is a real expert in postnatal provision and has a lovely balance of being supportive but making you push yourself. We started off in person and I was sceptical that the sessions wouldn’t be as high quality when we moved online. But I found the online program just as impactful as the in-person sessions.”
“Bridget’s attentive Pilates sessions were such an important part of my post-birth recovery. I had a caesarean section and was very weak but found my strength came extremely quickly after we started our sessions. Bridget is very detailed and knowledgeable. Her flexible approach made it really easy to manage while I had a baby with me at our sessions.”
“Bridget was incredibly helpful in helping me rebuild my core strength and general fitness in the postnatal period. Her personal training was supportive but challenging and meticulous at the same time. Working with her meant I ended up feeling fitter and stronger than I had before pregnancy.”
“My sessions with Bridget are still the hardest sessions even though I box and lift weights! She has amazing attention to detail and focuses on correct methods and alignment, and you’ll feel safe in her hands. I trained with her throughout my pregnancy and when I got back into exercising afterwards it was just the right pace to slowly build my fitness again.”
“Sessions were very helpful during pregnancy to maintain strength and definitely helped during birth and beyond. She carefully selected exercises suitable for each trimester. We also worked together after birth to ease me back into exercising. I would recommend her to any pregnant woman.”
