You are powerful, strong and capable of healing!
This may be news to you but I know you are amazing.
I know there’s a confident person under the nappies and puke.
I know there’s a person with big ideas as you strut back into work after maternity leave.
I know there’s someone with dreams as you taxi your teens around.
Yet…
Pelvic Floor issues have created a brew of shock, embarrassment and the disappearance of your identity & self-esteem. It’s taking up precious headspace.
You don’t need to do this alone. Let’s gain back control and give your body the love & care it deserves.
Pelvic Floor Reconnect is exactly what you are looking for!
Pelvic Floor Reconnect is for you if:
You, if you’re ready to fall in love with your powerful body.
If I said you have some control, that there’s another option besides “living with it” or surgery. That YOU CAN do something to help heal yourself. What would you say? Would you want to know more?
Hi, I’m Gemma
I’m a pre & postnatal exercise specialist and the creator of Pelvic Floor Reconnect.
I want to show you how it’s possible to move in a way that makes your pelvic floor happy.
I know first hand that changes to your body after being pregnant, birth or even 10-20 years postnatal can be overwhelming. The peri-menopause & menopause may also have changed the way your pelvic floor feels and works.
These changes are just that – change. I want you to ditch language such as damaged or broken. These suggest permanency and a belief we cannot heal. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
Our body is made up of tissue and cells, all of which respond to input. That input can be exercise, load and movement. This means you can learn ways to challenge and move your pelvic floor to promote healing.
I became disheartened, emotional and quite frankly angry when options for my pelvic floor injury where dealt to me flippantly without compassion.
It’s normal, they said.
Learn to live with it, it’s not that bad, they said
Have surgery, it’s the only other thing you can do, they said
I chose surgery… why? Because I was given no other option.
I was in a ward with many other women. Not one of us was treated with grace. It was a ship them in, ship them out mentality. Only one nurse held and stroked my hand throughout the tugging and cutting, telling me it would be okay.
Other problems arose after surgery. My vagina did not feel good, it felt tight (not a fun thing contrary to popular belief), unstable and weak.
My post-op care involved “kegels” that was it. Booted out the door without even a leaflet.
Having pelvic floor issues is lonely, it makes you feel old and worn out.
I know it’s a cliche but it was after a trip to the trampoline park that I woke up to the fact that this was unacceptable.
I was fed up with making excuses to my kids. I was struggling with my role as fitness advisor to the fire brigade. I was caught up in societies toxic message to get your body back.
What BS we have been fed and are still being fed!
What we need to be told is that our bodies are friggin’ awesome and deserve to be treated as such.
I deserved real information and real care. It’s time to STOP normalising what’s not normal!
So, I used my postnatal knowledge and delved into the world of pelvic floor.
I now trust my pelvic floor, I am proud that I have come through that part of my life, and l love being able to move with my kids unabashed, developing a movement rich lifestyle I hope they will take into adulthood.
I have long since shared my knowledge with the fire brigade and am now their pre & postnatal exercise advisor.
Now I want to share my knowledge with you, guide you through the process, empower you to trust your body and join a community of like-minded people so you no longer feel on your own.

What Pelvic Floor Reconnect is NOT
This is NOT a “get you body back” weight loss program. Your body deserves more nourishment than that. The movements in Pelvic Floor Reconnect are slow and controlled. Losing weight is not the aim of the game. A body that has healed and become more functional is. You will find you are stronger and more mobile as your body reconnects. This means you are more likely to return to activities you love safely.
This is NOT a quick fix. The movements will possibly be undoing a lifetime of habits and alignment issues. So, don’t expect fairy dust. You need to put the work in to get results. Let me say that again, you need to put the work in, you need to commit to doing the movements most days of the week to get results. However, to make it as easy as possible most movements take less than 5 minutes and you can do them whilst doing other tasks like brushing your teeth, having a shower, waiting for the kettle to boil or your friend to turn up.
FAQ’S
How is this course delivered?
How much time do I need to complete the course?
How much is Pelvic Floor Reconnect?
Can I pay in instalments?
How long are the videos?
How long should I spend on each exercise?
On average you should spend 10 – 30 minutes doing the weeks exercises. However, this is purely dependent on what your body needs and you should do what feels good to you. However, lots of the exercises you can do whilst you carry out other daily chores or whilst you are at work. I’m a big believer in combining tasks so they don’t take up more time.
What do I need to wear to do the exercises?
Ideally you should wear comfortable clothing THAT YOU CAN MOVE IN. There is no point in wearing a tight pair of jeans or even leggings that restricts the movement of your body. A good gauge is to see how the movements feel when wearing as little clothes as possible and then choose clothes that allow you the same or a similar amount of freedom – as I guess you don’t want to spring around in your undies if you do this in the park or gym
This also goes for support bras or sports bras, sometimes these can restrict your breathing as they do not allow the ribcage to move. So, aim for something that feel comfortable but not restrictive.

What's expected of you
• Do the movements in sequence. There are big reasons why this program has been put together how it is. And that’s to get the best results possible.
• Do the Work. Do the Work. Do the work. That doesn’t sound very supportive does it? But what I’m trying to say is that you need to give yourself permission to take out a few minutes of your day for YOUR self-care. Caring for yourself and making sure you are tiptop means that when you go back to your family, they get the best of you and that is the most fantastic gift you can give.
• Oh and did I say do the work? – if you only get down and do this once a month. You will not get results. The exercises are designed so you can do them whilst doing other things like brushing your teeth, washing up, even rocking the baby so it doesn’t have to mean taking 30 mins out of your day.
• If you have any questions regarding Pelvic Floor Reconnect then please feel free to use the contact me form which you can find in the contact me section or go to the FAQ section where your question may already be answered.
Can I spare the time?
But in my experience, to care for others, you need to care for yourself. And who has time for Hospital appointments, surgery and standing back in the wings – let’s swap that out!
You need to feel good. Because that goodness, that vibrancy is contagious. Your kids will look at you and think wow that’s my fun mum, she’s crazy, she plays, she moves, she’s strong, she IS Mum!
