New to training · beginners welcome
Starting something new can feel a bit daunting, and that’s completely normal. You don’t need any experience, just a willingness to give it a go. My job is to make the start feel simple, safe and actually enjoyable.

Start 7-day free trialPregnancy · all trimesters
Pregnancy comes with a lot of conflicting advice (and a lot of people telling you to take it easy). I’ll take the guesswork out and guide you through effective strength training that adapts to your growing body and baby, trimester by trimester.

At six weeks, most people get a green light and no plan. That’s where it tends to go wrong: either far too much too soon, or quietly nothing for a year. Let’s not do either.
Where I’d start you
A thorough assessment, then a plan that rebuilds you properly. Bub welcome.

Around menopause, falling oestrogen speeds up bone loss and makes it harder to hold on to muscle. The good news? Strength training is one of the most effective ways to fight back. Research, including Australian studies on women after menopause, shows well-coached, progressively heavier lifting can help maintain and even improve bone density, while building the muscle that keeps you strong, steady and independent.
Where I’d start you

Backs, shoulders, knees, pelvic pain, that niggle you’ve had since 2019. I know injuries from both sides: as a professional ballet dancer I worked through plenty of my own (they’re what ended my dancing career), and over the past ten years I’ve coached lots of clients back from theirs.

Over ten years of coaching, a lot of study, and a genuine love of seeing people get stronger than they thought they could. Here’s what you get when you train with me.
Named Top Pre & Postnatal Trainer in NSW. Pregnancy and postnatal training is the heart of my work, and I’ve coached hundreds of women through it.
First-timers, athletes, new mums, perimenopause and injury rehab. Ex-professional ballet dancer, PCES certified, and qualified across Pilates and strength.
Everything I do is grounded in current research, and I’m always studying, so you get what works now, not last decade’s trend.
I genuinely love this. Expect encouragement, sharp attention to detail, and a coach who’s properly invested in you.
In their words
“I’m a chiropractor and have trained with many Pilates/yoga teachers over the years, and I can say that hands down, Bridget is the best I’ve ever come across, by far. Her knowledge, experience and classes are excellent and I’ve sent many patients her way without any concern.”
“I did 1-1 classes with Bridget throughout my pregnancy, she had a really good understanding of the changes I was going through and how I would need to adapt my Pilates. At the same time, I found she really pushed and challenged me to advance (even as I was getting bigger!), much more so than any other prenatal exercise I did. I went into birth and recovery feeling super strong and fit thanks to Bridget!”
“After my second child, I was stiff, experiencing lower back pain and a bit unsure about how to restart exercise. Doing Pilates with Bridget really helped me build back my strength and flexibility. She is a real expert in postnatal provision and has a lovely balance of being supportive but making you push yourself. We started off in person and I was sceptical that the sessions wouldn’t be as high quality when we moved online. But I found the online program just as impactful as the in-person sessions.”
“Bridget’s attentive Pilates sessions were such an important part of my post-birth recovery. I had a caesarean section and was very weak but found my strength came extremely quickly after we started our sessions. Bridget is very detailed and knowledgeable. Her flexible approach made it really easy to manage while I had a baby with me at our sessions.”
“Bridget was incredibly helpful in helping me rebuild my core strength and general fitness in the postnatal period. Her personal training was supportive but challenging and meticulous at the same time. Working with her meant I ended up feeling fitter and stronger than I had before pregnancy.”
“My sessions with Bridget are still the hardest sessions even though I box and lift weights! She has amazing attention to detail and focuses on correct methods and alignment, and you’ll feel safe in her hands. I trained with her throughout my pregnancy and when I got back into exercising afterwards it was just the right pace to slowly build my fitness again.”
“Sessions were very helpful during pregnancy to maintain strength and definitely helped during birth and beyond. She carefully selected exercises suitable for each trimester. We also worked together after birth to ease me back into exercising. I would recommend her to any pregnant woman.”
“Bridge is a really knowledgeable, friendly and reliable PT. Going into my second birth I really wanted to continue strength and cardio training in a safe way to feel strong and keep managing a toddler while pregnant! My training with Bridge really helped me to do that. She happily (and skilfully!) adjusted depending on how I was feeling and I always came out feeling better for having trained.”
“Training with Bridget throughout my prenatal fitness journey was the best decision. She didn’t just give me workouts, she educated me on safe modifications, which made me feel deeply comfortable and confident about staying active. Her guidance was key to ensuring I had a great, strong pregnancy.”
“Bridget has been an amazing support through my postpartum recovery and return to exercise. She is highly knowledgeable and developed a structured and personalised exercise programme for me, all in the comfort of my own home. I would highly recommend her services for any new (or expecting) mums!”
“I started seeing Bridget a few months after I had my baby to help rebuild my strength, in particular my core. Over the past 10 weeks Bridget has helped me to strengthen and stretch my hips, back and core. She’s able to help you push to your own personal limit and challenge yourself whilst still smiling and laughing. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Bridge is honestly THE best Pilates teacher I have come across, and I’ve done a LOT of Pilates classes in my lifetime! I have had a bad back since I was about 15, and since I’ve been doing Bridge’s classes I’ve gained a huge amount of flexibility and my pain has reduced considerably. She has gradually built my confidence and my strength to the point now where I can join in any class.”
“Having done Pilates for a number of years due to a chronic back problem caused by too many years of playing sports, I have learnt the importance of working with a teacher that is right for you. Bridget has fantastic knowledge of my condition, what works for me, and what work needs to be done to ensure that my interest in sports isn’t restricted to the sidelines!”
“Bridget is by far the best Pilates teacher I’ve ever found. Her classes are a full body workout that work you really hard but leave you feeling amazing. I’ve built up so much strength and tone through them. I’ve loved every class I’ve attended and no two have ever been the same.”

About
I’ve spent over ten years coaching first-timers, athletes, women through pregnancy and back out the other side, people in perimenopause, and plenty rebuilding after injury.
Very different starting points, but the approach never changes: understand how your body moves, then build real strength from there. Whatever season you’re in, you’ll be supported and challenged in equal measure.
“I’m not asking for perfection, just presence and consistency.”
