Pregnancy & Postnatal Pilates in Cheshire - Birth Preparation & Recovery from Umama Baby

My name is Adele, I’m a 45 year old Mama of 4. I started working as a Community Midwife in London in 2008 and as my family grew I moved to Cheshire.

When I had my last child I made the decision to leave the NHS. The steady increasing challenges within maternity services meant practicing within the values that I stand by in supporting and nurturing birthing Mums and their families was becoming compromised. Consequently, the imbalance of being a mummy to my own children whilst still working was no longer sustainable.

I completed a Diploma in Complementary Therapies in Pregnancy, as well as a Diploma in Mat Pilates specialising in pregnancy and postnatal women. My personal experiences and professional background have uniquely positioned me to fill a crucial gap of providing compassionate continuity of care which was and still is being impacted by the strains on maternity services.

Pregnancy Pilates & Birth Preparation

I have been teaching pregnancy and postnatal Pilates classes for a year. My classes are nurturing and skilfully focus on safe and appropriate exercise for birth preparation and postnatal recovery.

I carry out home diastasis checks prior to women starting my postnatal classes as this is not carried out by GP’s. This allows me to ensure all women are exercising safely and appropriately. I provide all mats and equipment for every class, including baby playmats and bouncy chairs.

I also offer a variety of complementary therapies specific for pregnancy and the postnatal period from the comfort of women’s homes. These range from aromatherapy, reflexology and moxibustion. I incorporate combinations of my therapies into packages to help treat nausea and vomiting, back and pelvic pain, birth preparation and avoiding induction.
