YOU WANT TO GET BACK TO YOUR EXERCISE REGIME AND BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE DAILY DEMANDS OF MOTHERHOOD...

Is overwhelmed with ALL the information and options out there so you have no idea where to start, how to progress for your body and what you can do 'safely'?
Is fearful of returning to exercise and lifting heavy because you think it will make your symptoms worse?
Is battling with pelvic floor or core issues - diastasis recti, incontinence or prolapse - and nothing you do seems to be working?

you don't have to do it alone.
Strong, Free & UPLifted™️ is my signature high-level coaching programme. It’s a powerful hybrid of breathwork, corrective exercise and functional strength training – underpinned by a proven, structured and phased training programme (designed for busy mums) that supports you in strengthening your core and pelvic floor, get back to lifting weights (even more than you had pre-babies!) and reducing (or even eliminating!) symptoms.
This programme takes a holistic personal approach to healing and strengthening. It’s designed to help you unlock your strongest self in both body and mind so that you can move without fear, excel in your strength training and get closer to your goals.
Strong, Free & UPLifted™️ is your path to prioritising yourself for your emotional, mental and physical wellbeing - to live a full and more meaningful life. Because you can lift weights again and get back to the activities you love. Leaking, prolapse or diastasis does not define you.
You’re here to change your life; I’m here to change yours.
Ready to find out more? Let's do this together.
I know the challenge you have,
It's Time To Take Back Control.
This Is Your Next Step.
These are crazy high numbers. And what's incredible, is that the internet is inundated with information but lacking the tools for you to know how implement learnings effectively.
Here's where my proven 3-step framework comes into play. You'll focus your efforts on (1) adopting a new mindset and the positive daily actions you need to get the results you want; (2) moving with intention and at the right pace for your body consistently and persistently; and (3) setting yourself up with the knowledge and methods that will give you freedom to take control of fitness regime (and life!) - so you can continue on your own (if you choose to).
Too many mums are being told to stick to basic pelvic floor and rehab exercises prescribed by physios with not enough consistency, progressive overload, accountability and reviewing. At the same time with a ‘can’t do’ attitude being imposed on them - can’t lift your kids, lift weights, go running.
The old way hinders progress as many mums choose not to engage in any physical activity at all while symptoms are present...which, in itself yields no return.
You may try a million different techniques and courses at once to find that breakthrough in progress, confusing and overwhelming yourself in the process. Or you just jump back into your old training methods making symptoms worse by doing too much too soon.
Instead of winging it...Strong, Free & UPLifted™️ shows you the EXACT strategies that'll ensure you know and understand YOUR body, how to level up and how to keep on track with the little daily actions you need to take to get the results you want (and without having to give up your life).
1. TRYING ALL THE THINGS BUT FINDING NO SHORT TERM RELIEF OR LONG TERM PROGRESS
Frustration, Overwhelm and Depression
THE OLD METHODS LEAD TO...
2. CONSTANTLY WORRYING ABOUT WHAT TO DO IN YOUR DAILY LIFE AND MOVEMENT
Taking action but seeing little (or no) return leaves you demoralised and defeated... you're trying to make a change, working at it, but does it make sense to try everything, with too much variability, or follow one approach consistently - both to save you time and overwhelm?
You’ve been told so many things NOT TO DO and other mums don’t seem to have the same problems you do. You’re starting to wonder: "It’s not going to get better, something is wrong with me”, “I’m never going to get back to the gym on my own”, “Will the pain ever go away?”, “Is surgery the only answer?”.
WHEN THESE 3 ELEMENTS ARE IMPLEMENTED EFFECTIVELY, YOU CAN EASILY AND CONSISTENTLY MAKE INCREDIBLE PROGRESS EVEN AS A BUSY MUM OF THREE.
There Is A Better Way; A Healing And Empowering Way.
OVER 12 WEEKS, YOU CAN GROW WITH:
Less time worrying, more time taking action – with a mindful and accepting mindset keeping you accountable (and installing the self-belief that you can do so!).
And, I'm going to show you how!
THAT IS CENTRED AROUND POSITIVE BELIEFS
1.
A New Emotional Energy
Instead of wondering how to start and when to scale, you will follow a simple 3 phase strength programme based on your body’s needs. You will see results from the compounded effect of all those steady months of consistency. Developed from your unique body blueprint.
THAT IS DEVELOPED FROM YOUR UNIQUE BODY BLUEPRINT
2.
A Stronger Purposeful Body
By learning more about your own body, how it works and its capabilities, you can take all you have learnt and apply it to any training modality or physical activity you choose to participate in the future.
THAT ENSURES YOU ARE EMPOWERED TO TAKE BACK CONTROL
3.
Physical and Mental Freedom
Armed with a proven track record of helping women and mums become strong, pain and problem free post baby, with my dedicated focus on Women’s Health, I know what it takes to ‘rehab’ your core and pelvic floor and build up your strength - as long as you instil the discipline and commitment.
I’ve been on the journey you have been on - the lack of belief in my abilities and fear of ‘hurting myself’ or making things worse stopped me from pursuing my goals a number of times (following miscarriage, with back pain, with diastasis recti).
My experiences led me to change career, on a path to continually educate myself in the realm of Women’s Health, learning from the best and continually adapt my methods to be the best I can be for my clients.
I am passionate about removing fear around exercise in the pre & post natal periods, particularly those pertaining to pelvic health issues; diastasis recti, incontinence and prolapse. Strong, Free & UPLifted™️ is the most comprehensive corrective and specialist functional strength coaching that focuses not only on ‘rehab’ but also REAL results.
I know how it feels to have a deep rooted desire to do something for yourself, make a change, but the guilt of focusing on you or not knowing if it will work for you, being too much to take the risk.
"I'm continuing to get physically stronger and stretch the boundaries of what I think my body can achieve. I'm continuing to get mentally stronger with my emotions and the struggle I have linked with my postpartum recovery and healing."

"I love how Rachel has so many options on how to make each exercise work for you and always there to help."

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR SYMPTOMS AND RECLAIM YOUR LIFE…
STARTING NOW!
Scrolling on social media and YouTube for information and trying to figure out what you should be doing differently...
Bouncing around from course to course, class to class and crossing your fingers hoping something will stick to get you results...
Confusion about how to progress your training; do you just do kegals? Do you only stick to breathwork and rehab? How do you lift weights? Which classes can you attend?
Wondering if you will EVER get back to the life you once had and reach your goals…
That Means No More...
STRONG, FREE & UPLIFTED™️ GIVES YOU A WELL-STRUCTURED, PHASED PROCESS (PROVEN BY THOSE THAT HAVE ACHIEVED INCREDIBLE RESULTS) AND EVERYTHING NEEDED TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR SYMPTOMS AND GET YOU TO YOUR STRONGEST SELF - ON YOUR TERMS - OVER 12 WEEKS WITH FULL SUPPORT.
Right now you might be struggling with anxiety, fear and frustration. You feel weak and aching physically, so you feel vulnerable...The question you are asking yourself is: how can I move forward safely?
I know that many mums embark on their strength training or return to fitness without a solid understanding of what techniques will work for their body - to manage symptoms, be free from pain - and they often jump into too much too soon or do little-nothing at all. Plus, when you are symptomatic, it can make you extremely guarded when it comes to movement so you end up limiting your own capabilities.
Training With Incontinence or Prolapse Doesn't Have To Be A Struggle
When you join, you'll get instant access to my member portal which includes bite-sized training videos (dropped in real time to avoid overwhelm), easy-to-follow exercise tutorials and interactive workbooks. We’ll kick off with goal setting, a detailed full body assessment and mindset management to set you up for success in the weeks to come.
Plus you'll get a highly tailored and easy to follow strength training programme (via an app) so that you're equipped to go at a speed that feels good to you! You master the movements, you are ready to progress with me guiding you every step of the way.
You might feel like your body is failing you, it’s given up on you. Rest assured we’ll find a solid place for you to start and work together to make sense of the sensations you are feeling. The foundations are critical to get right to make you strong inside and out.
This is totally understandable! And with safety driven expert exercises created for your body, you’ll train from the comfort of your own home and boost your self-confidence so you can get back to training at the gym when you’re ready.
I get it, there is SO much information out there...you're busy and family life takes over! This programme will simplify the complex for you so you can take your new found knowledge and apply it throughout your future life and training. It is your chance to prioritise yourself - it doesn't matter how fast you go, it’s the power of consistent daily actions compounded over time that will make the difference.
It’s frustrating, but progress isn’t linear. Kids, illness, menstrual cycle, unexpected injuries, life can all get in the way! With proven techniques and methods you will learn how to improve symptoms and have a plan for symptom exacerbation. We will set goals and the right expectations - by focusing on the incremental progress over time, you will become unstoppable.

(High Level 1-1 Coaching)
From my years of working with mums, there are unique struggles that women with pelvic floor issues face compared to others. I went down a detailed path of research to unpack all these struggles to create a comprehensive and holistic programme that combines the mind and body.
I take a hybrid approach to healing & strengthening combining breathwork, corrective exercise (‘rehab’) and functional fitness with a unique plan to make you feel safe while seeing progress.
I know how much you've tried already. The thought of having to invest in another course or programme is daunting and overwhelming. Will it even work? Will I have the time and stick to it? Will it be worth it?
So, I have done all the heavy lifting for you – providing a detailed 6 month training programme, easy-to-follow videos, tutorials, easy-to-complete worksheets and accountability trackers. So, less things for you to think about and no more inaction!
I'm going to help you get the easy quick wins, whilst not losing sight of the commitment and actions you need to take to get the long term results you want. The difficult is daunting - it’s what takes a little time - and Strong, Free & UPLifted™️ will help you get there faster, without fear.
There is a reason that so many of my clients have said their results are ‘life changing’. At some point, many tried all the things at once to get results, but with little reward.
But then they took a leap of faith (and out of frustration of not doing anything for themselves), they've used my tried and tested methods, techniques and programming. Remember, you don’t have to figure this out alone!
Your stories matter to me - because we deserve better as women and life givers. I tend to attract health conscious mamas who really want to change their life for the better and are determined and ready to do so.
Everything in this programme is designed with your success in mind - you as the whole person you are.
"I no longer have pain in my pubic symphysis area and I can play with my kids, run, go hiking, swimming and gained all these activities back in my life because of all her help. I really appreciate all the expertise and knowledge that Rachel shared with me individually and with the group."
"It changed my life and I found through her programme that I could regain the strength that I once didn't have in my core.”
The path to progress is simple: accept where you are, set yourself with the right expectations, give yourself permission to get help and guidance, take consistent action, be disciplined, believe in yourself and your body’s capabilities, and take the leap even if the fear remains. In fact, that’s the best time to do it. Give yourself the chance to overcome it - together, we've got this.
WELCOME TO YOUR NEW LIFE. EVER CHANGING. EVER PROGRESSING.
LET ME PAINT THE PICTURE FOR YOU...
You wake up and start your day feeling more positive, in control of, and happier in your body with more energy (depending on the kiddos of course!).
Feeling motivated, you might get in a gym session. With the knowledge and strategies that you know work for you to make your body feel great, you start your workout. You feel strong, get a sweat on, and those endorphins are flowing after. What a mood boost!
You take your kids to the playground, run around after them and pick them up without a second thought - you can get on with daily life without having to think about your body, core, pelvic floor and the aches and pains you used to have.
Your hubby comes home from work and you have a girls night planned (wishful thinking I know!), but you get dressed up, feel good in your clothes and laugh the night away feeling connected (no longer alone and detached) to those mum friends around you.
You may have setbacks, kids might get ill, but you are empowered, you have a plan for when this happens and know how resilient your body is. You are more mindful and reflect on how far you’ve come. You know that the difficult takes time but you’ve already had big results and, what’s next? There’s only more to come.
The Future Looks Bright
When can I start?
Typically starting from 6-8 week check up to years later! The reality is, it is NEVER too late to start if you’ve done no formal core or pelvic floor recovery or postpartum strength training since giving birth and/or being diagnosed with symptoms. Wherever you are in your journey, I will support you.
What equipment will I need?
Resistance Bands: Therabands, Resistance Bands (with clips/handles), Mini Loop Bands. Plenty of options on Amazon!
Pilates Ball
Foam Roller/Myofascial release ball
Step/Sofa/Chair/Box/Stool
Weights: Dumbbells and/or kettlebells. Following your upfront assessment we can choose your starting weights remembering you will need challenge to adapt!
What if I don't have pelvic floor issues but I do have have diastasis recti and/or other aches & pains?
While the base of the programme is centred around strength training with pelvic floor issues, many aspects are transferable. The truth is, the method is adapted to YOU and should improve symptoms and aesthetics in the case of mild DRA IF you put in the time, build the foundations and take advantage of all the offline support to improve your technique to get the most out of the exercises. So do apply and we can work out a best plan for you over a call - whether that is with me or I can refer out.
N.B. The reBorn method bridges the gap between breathwork, pelvic health physical therapy (corrective exercise) and functional strength & conditioning training. If you do have any PFDs, I would always recommend you seeing a pelvic health physio first (recommendations can be provided within reBorn’s network).
To return to, and enjoy movement, exercise, playing with your kids AND feel happier and more positive in yourself - what would that mean and be worth to you?
I am doing this with you, you will get results if you put in the work, and I will show you how and support you every step of the way. If you are ready to take the next step then apply to work with me below and I will be in touch with you to book a call.
