Hello Mama!
Are you pregnant and wondering how to...
1. Exercise safely as you baby bump grows?
2. Manage pregnancy aches and pains like a tight lower back or sore hips?
3. Prepare your body (especially your pelvis and pelvic floor) for birth?
4. Keep yourself strong through pregnancy and in preparation for Motherhood?
5. Prepare for life after Birth with your brand new tiny gorgeous baby?
"I was so glad to have access to your pilates online sessions (and beyond!) which I did every day for the month-or-so leading up to the birth and felt so much better and connected with my body and my baby. Seeing you every day gave shape and safety to the time as it passed." Kat
Nesting & Resting will help you to care for your body through pregnancy, birth and early postpartum.
You'll get -
- 20 Prenatal Pilates classes to do in your own time. Do one class per week for 20 weeks, or do one per day for 20 days! Classes are based on the principles of Optimal Fetal Positioning and the underlying intention for every class is to help you learn how you can prepare your body to give birth more gently on your body and for your baby.

"Sophie's Prenatal Pilates classes strike a balance of strength, mobility, and body awareness. Her teaching style is encouraging and nurturing. I always look forward to Sophie's classes and feel great afterward. I've felt physically strong and mobile throughout my pregnancy, and really credit prenatal pilates for that." Cherie
MEET YOUR TEACHER
Nesting & Resting has been carefully and lovingly designed over many years of teaching and working with mums, to meet the specific and changing needs of your Motherbody. This resource has been developed through my time working as a prenatal pilates teacher and postpartum doula and is a collection of resources I offer to the Mothers I work with in person. You'll learn to tend to common aches and pains, practice simple movements to help you prepare for birth, and discover strategies to support your transition into early Motherhood. Think of this like having your own personal mama centred pilates teacher, shiatsu therapist, and postnatal doula, available to you right in your pocket. ✨
"Sophie's book 'Nurture Her' helped me see the importance of the postpartum period, honouring this time and my body. I've come to understand the value of doing what I can for my body during this time to set myself up in good stead for the future. The resources and questions posed by Sophie have opened conversations with my family about our hopes and expectations for this time. An easy, accessible, and worthwhile read!" Hanna
"I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in Sophie’s online prenatal pilates. The online platform is easy to participate in, with Sophie providing step by step instructions and clear explanations throughout the class. I can do classes multiple times during the week at times convenient to me and the classes are great value for money. I always feel good both physically and mentally after completing one of Sophie’s classes" Keleigh
"The love and care that Sophie has for new mothers is woven through every page of this guide (Nurture Her). It was not only a joy to read but full of so much valuable information and shared wisdom for those planning their postpartum. Truly one of the most holistic, practical and accessible postpartum guides I have seen. A real gift.”
