Very Postnatal
You're now a Super Bear! You have survived bearing the babies, rearing the babies, it’s now time to focus on yourself, repairing and raring to go!
Grab that Mid-Life badge and wear it with pride, I do!
We put up with lots of crappy bits: kids with crappy attitudes, jobs with crappy bosses and commutes, bodies with jiggly, wonky, crappy bits...long time until retirement! Dive into your self-test to see where some of your body bothers come from and start with the easy signposts.

Bear & Repair Test Yourself!
In this test, we explore many parts of your body that possibly never really recovered from having a baby.
If you’re not sure you can commit or don’t feel you have time to really dive into ‘Bear & Repair your magical midlife self’, I have made the Bare Essentials Video, a quick 30 minute summary to help you to power through the middle bear years.
Bear & Repair - Self Test
We often settle for things:
A pelvis that was never quite right after, a dodgy foot, gammy knee/back/shoulder, dicky back, problems with little leaks from your bladder when you sneeze, cough, run, lift. As long as we can keep going, it’s okay, cos that’s what we do.
As long as we can keep going, it’s okay, cos that’s what we do. In this course, we explore many parts of your body that possibly never really recovered from having a baby.
But no more…I invite you to NOT Grin and Bear it anymore, let’s not settle, let’s explore!
You will be amazed by giving some areas a little love, a little care, a little thought they’ll pay you back by working better, feeling better, and thriving. It’s not always comfortable stepping out of our habits, challenging our normal, but this is necessary to put yourself back together in a new and improved version of yourself.
Course:
'Bear&Repair Your Magical Midlife Self'
What is it? It will give you in-depth look at your various parts that sometimes struggle to recover from pregnancy, many of which you may not actually be aware of, or think are part and parcel of being a Mum, but not necessarily so. You'll learn what's normal, what's common but is not normal! where your own body is at, and how to start addressing some of these issues.
What will I get? We will break things down part by part and understand how they fit back together. Each workshop comes with an exercise video with lots of ideas on how to build up, stretch out and get back into shape. While exploring your own individual niggles and problem spots, you may find you want to dig in even deeper and do some one-to-one work with a health professional, knowing what you want and having covered the structural basics means you get a lot more from these sessions.
Bear Care for Bladders
(When you can’t run with the cubs!)
This course is a whole body and lifestyle approach to pelvic floor rehab to help you with common bladder / pelvic floor problems like stress or urge incontinence and prolapse.
Bear care for bladders starts with the foot and progresses up through the body to your forehead! It builds each week from basic level exercises and releases to intermediate and advanced.
It focuses on aligning the body well to improve pelvic floor function and getting strength and length in the pelvic floor muscles using all the allies in the area, and sending the over workers off on holidays!
Course:
Bear Care for Bladders
Stress incontinence is the most common bladder-related problem post-pregnancy (1 in 3 women) followed by Urge Incontinence and Pelvic Organ Prolapse.
This course is a whole-body lifestyle focussed work-through using the tried and tested 'Your Pelvic Matters' formula. It looks at every structure both above and below the pelvic floor (there are many!), how each of these affects pelvic floor function, and optimizing them!
This course also addresses lifestyle factors that affect the pelvic floor and how to modulate them.
A Series of 8 x 45minute workshops with pdf downloads of exercises and lifestyle factors discussed in class.
