6 weeks to a strong mama healed from childbirth inside out
Vitality Mama Postnatal Recovery
Being a mum is perhaps the best job in the world, but growing, birthing and then caring for a little person can create physical and mental challenges for mum. I am a firm believer that although pains and aches in the postnatal period are common, they are NOT normal and should NOT be accepted or ignored. I am committed to help all my mums heal leaking, a mummy tummy and back and pelvic pain.
Attending a Vitality Mama postnatal recovery class is a fun, social and motivating way of starting exercise after child birth. Meet other mums and get tailored advice on returning to your pre-pregnancy shape safely and effectively. I love working with women at this wonderful time and am committed and passionate about giving you the tools for a healthy mumhood. I have experience in supporting new mums with a range of postnatal conditions including sacro-iliac problems, Pelvic Girdle Pain, pelvic organ prolapse or weakness, general back pain and diastasis recti.
Our classes are for mums and babies, however the focus is on you! Pilates is very beneficial at this time as it is all about bringing it back together, pulling it back in. Enjoy regaining stability and strength, increase energy levels and learn techniques to support your posture and every day activities with your baby.

With extensive knowledge and experience of working with the pregnant and post-natal population, I realised that this is an area where my passion lies and really is my most authentic calling when i experienced various issues after my first daughter was born. This made me delve deeper into post-natal recovery.

Some Testimonials:
My friend and I tried Tina’s Mother and Baby pilates class in Crouch End when my little one was a few months old. It really helped my back issues and strengthening my non-existent core.
I found it invaluable but also a lovely way to spend an hour with Lola and the other mums and babies. The small class size means you get great teaching, often one-on-one and she tailors everything to the individual. Plus she is amazing with the babies. My only reason for leaving was having another baby and moving to East London.
Helen – Alexandra PalaceI attended Tina’s mother and baby pilates classes once per week for about a year, when she ran them in North London. She is an excellent teacher and I felt much stronger then than I ever have. She is really laid back with all the babies around and is very good at tailoring the exercises to the various post-natal circumstances of the group (e.g. gentle where required, more challenging for anyone who is physically ready for it and never forgetting the pelvic floor!). I just wish she still ran the classes in North London as I haven’t found any that are quite as good as Tina’s.
Roisin – Crouch EndI’ve always wanted to get to grips with Pilates but found that something about my technique left me with back or neck pain.
Tina’s class was great and things finally clicked for me! She makes little adjustments to your poses to make sure you’re doing them correctly and actually explains what you should be doing.
The class worked really well with little ones in tow – if ever they started to get upset Tina was quick to pick them up and carry on the demonstration – child in arms!
I just wish she was still teaching in North London!
Rachel – Crouch EndI have found Pilates has really helped to improve my posture and to teach me techniques for how to relieve tight shoulders and neck which everyone who is desk based can suffer from.
As a qualified sports massage therapist she is great at explaining the benefits of the exercises she gets us to do and is always focused on making sure we adopt the correct technique.
The classes are fun, effective and varied – definitely a friendly environment and we generally see a good mixture of males and females.
