RECOVERY
IS WITHIN REACH
I'm so excited to bring you this program.
This is a “do it yourself” at home online course that I’ve designed specifically for post-natal recovery – and the results my clients are getting so far are simply AMAZING!!
I've been teaching Pilates for over 20 years and I've birthed 4 babies, learning first hand how to recover with & without Pilates - I can tell you now, with Pilates is absolutely the way to go!!
I've helped thousands of women recover their pelvic floor, abdominals & so much more, and now it's your turn!
I'm Melissa, the OG Wondermum - I coined this phrase years ago because I've spent my whole motherhood journey either wondering how I could do everything better or simply rejoicing in the complete wonder & awe of it all!
Being a mother was the only thing I knew I wanted to do (until I found Pilates).
I also felt a deep calling (from a very young age) to guide other women through the wonderful journey that is birth & motherhood!
It's just in me.
The Pilates + the Motherhood vibe.
It's Time To Restore, Recalibrate & Recover
As far as I'm concerned, we're all freaking WONDERMUMS and given the ups, the downs, and the personal growth that motherhood requires, the sooner we learn to become our own superhero (rather than waiting to be rescued) the better off we are!
Now this doesn't mean doing it alone... it just means you put on your super suit and you find the mentor & the tribe to support you in your pursuit of happiness (& connectedness).
This is what reclaiming our body, our mind & our inner power looks like.
This is empowered motherhood.
It's also the power of motherhood with a sisterhood where you have access to womens wisdom!
My personal journey
(just a quick summary) involves having 2 babies in my twenties (prior to finding Pilates) and 2 more babies in my thirties, with Pilates in my life. Integrated, embodied & excited!
Guess what?
I recovered from birth (physically & emotionally) WAY better in my thirties!!
I could (& can still in my 50's) jump on a trampoline without wetting myself (yet I couldn't after having the girls in my twenties) and healed a slight ab separation (thanks to my belly looking like the front end of jumbo!!) after my fourth baby and was in the best shape of my life... all AFTER 4 kids!
WHY?
Pilates + Passion + Purpose
(all three are imperative)
Pilates is the how, the passion drives our commitment & the purpose is the why.
It's an analogy for life really, which is why I felt emotionally better in my thirties. I had real purpose (in addition to my motherhood dream) to help other women discover what I had!
Fast forward and I've now helped thousands of women recover their pelvic floor, their ab separation and their sanity!
Sometimes women would return to the studio with me almost immediately after birth, sometimes they'd find me years later (& realise they still had issues without specific repair work) yet these exact same techniques would help them all. Every single Woman got results. A re-connection to a disconnect that she often didn't even realise was happening since birth.
(I remember helping one mama recover from issues 12 years later!!)
The point is....It's never too late to start this healing journey to reclaim your body (& mind).
It's also never too early to start preparing, if you're planning a baby!
“Wow..I really F$&king enjoyed that…I kept putting it off thinking that it would take up too much of my time and I wouldn’t complete a full session so there would be no point in starting…but I know I won’t feel myself until I feel strong in my core again, so knowing that I have the option to do a quick class (or a few) will suit me perfectly, I’m so excited now - Mum on a mission!!!! What you have put together is ideal…well done 👏🏽 and THANK YOU x”

IS R+R RIGHT FOR YOU?
This program is designed specifically for post-natal recovery BUT I've also added some pregnancy classes so that you can start while you're pregnant!
[&/or use the program for your next baby too!]
It's also a powerful program if you've never had a baby, (or its been a long minute) and you feel disconnected to the centre of yourself and you just don't know where to start.
START HERE
These are the exact steps I've used in my own body to recover from 4 pregnancies, reconnect to my inner power, to my sacral energy and to my self-love, and it's the programming I've used now for thousands of women!
The results my clients get are AMAZING because it helps the women FEEL like themselves again.
Strong. Connected and Aligned within themselves. Calmer, Happier, Centred.
Every WOMAN deserves to feel amazing!
Birth can be challenging enough as it is, feeling unsupported during your recovery can be debilitating!
Feeling like (or being told) you have to 'put up with' wetting yourself or your abs never recovering, or your emotional dysregulation (because your nervous system hasn't recovered) is NOT ok!! It is also not the truth of the matter.
I am your proof.
The thousands of women I've helped are your proof!
Even the ones that were told they'd need surgery to recover! Guess what, they didn't. Not only that, I helped one Mama of twins recover her Ab separation (they were both 3kg bubs!!) from 4 finger separation down to a 1 finger in 10 days!!
This knowledge is a freaking game changer!!!
Problem is I can't see everyone in person.
....and I wanted to be able to help the women in my tribe no matter where they live.
This is IMPORTANT WOMENS WORK, and it belongs in the hands of all women!
So I wanted to price it accordingly, I also wanted to make it on-demand & digital, so it's ready when you are!
All you need is a mat and some wi-fi and you're good to go!
It's time to RECLAIM your body and your inner power. To know that you are supported by this Wondermum Tribe of women who are the light workers and the birth keepers handing down the information that works!
The womens wisdom!
I’ve proven many thousands of times now that this method, the way I teach it, it works!
What a powerful freaking feeling it is, to feel restored and unf*ckwithable, while you raise your precious children!
Raising yourself along the way, supported by a tribe of sisters!
Now don't get me wrong, I've got awesome solutions, but that doesn't mean that it has always been roses for me.
Life throws lessons at us all the time.
The motherhood journey is a lifetime long.
My children are now 27, 25, 19 & 17.... so I know.
I'd be lying if I said it was all just peachy!
Yet I bloody love it. All of it.
My point is this, when you know you've got access to a sacred lineage of womens' wisdom in this tribe that I've created, then you know you're not going it alone and you'll often find the answers you seek (mind body & soul) all in one place.
We know how much more powerful & aligned you will feel with the Wondermum team supporting you while you grow your own wings!
What you get in WONDERMUM R&R:
- A Welcome Intro video
- A video with instruction on the Starfish & Jellyfish Method– my unique take on how to breath and connect to your pelvic floor to heal & recover properly!
- 5 Stages of specific exercises (in 5-10min increments) to guide your healing journey
- PLUS specific tailored classes for pregnancy to prepare you for a strong active birth!
- A Meditation & other bonus content inside the program
- Access to any program upgrades we make along the way and the R&R program is yours to keep for life*
Each video in each stage (1-3) are in 5-10 minute increments, so that you can do what you have time for, or add them all together to create a 20 min workout around Bub’s schedule.
It’s really Important that you commence in stage 1 for the first 2 weeks*, then move onto stage 2 when the indications are that you’re ready for it. *if well indicated, you could move to stage 2 earlier
Each stage is specifically designed to help you heal and recover your pelvic floor connection, your abdominal separation (if you have any) and restore your nervous system and body confidence.
- There will also be a series of Post-natal full & flowing workouts to do once you’re at stage 3 onwards
- These are replays of the live classes we have done during lockdown & are about 20-30 minutes in length, sometimes 40min.
- From time to time, we may choose to load short video workshops / instructional videos in response to questions from members. This will grow over time as a further additional resource.
- Please don’t attempt the stage 4 & 5 (flowing workouts with chest lifting / forward flexion) until all indications are that you are ready for it and can do so without causing your abdominals to separate!
- Developing the art of feedback is critical before you start stage 4 & 5. This awareness will develop as you complete the course in the order it was designed.
