Mummy Day Retreat - Knepp Estate
The Mummy Retreat is the perfect way to give yourself time to focus on your needs through the 4th Trimester.
This day is holistic and allows you to explore your health and wellness, whilst meeting other new mums and gaining support and new friendships.
What we will cover:
- We will look at matrecence - what this means to you, and how it may be making you feel in relation to your health and wellness goals. We will help to put goals into place to break this negative cycle and give you the validation that you are doing the best you can in the time you have.
- We will explore the pelvic floor through education and the right techniques to make sure you are engaging and relaxing in the correct manor. You will leave with a whole tool kit of exercises and a better understanding of what the pelvic floor is and how it functions.
- Diastasis Recti - the separation of the abdominal muscles is very common post birth so we will also look at this and check whether this has happened in your pregnancy. We wlll then look at breathing techniqus and core activation work that will help rebuild your trunk and core stability. This will help with carrying your little ones correctly and make sure that any other exercises you do are supported to reduce the risk of injury, especially to the lower back.
- Nutrition is another topic that we will cover on this special day. We will discuss what to eat to keep your energy levels up and to support breast feeding. We will also look at specific nutrients/foods that will benefit your immune system, hormones and sleep.
- Although sleep is very much dependant on how frequently your little one is waking you up, we will chat about techniques you can use to help you fall back to sleep quickly and leave you feeling more relaxed.
The goal of the day is to leave you motivated and empowered to give yourself the time you need in the 4th trimester to feel good. You won't leave feeling overwhelmed as each session throughout the day is designed specifically to give you time to reflect on how it can easily fit into your lifestyle at present. You will meet other mum's with similar health and wellness goals and hopefully leave with some new friends.

"After giving birth to my first baby I suffered from stomach muscle separation (diastasis recti) of 5-6cms. This resulted in a hernia through my belly button and I needed help to lift my new baby and had difficulty walking any distance. I was using my back to compensate for the lack of stomach muscles and had severe back pain. I was also left with around an extra 2 stone in weight. I started seeing Gemma around 4 months after having my baby. A lot of the initial work focussed on rebuilding my core strength, getting the stomach muscles back together and mobilising my back. Gemma gave me exercises to do inbetween our sessions to help speed up the process and after a few weeks I started to notice a big difference. The back pain was going and I was also losing weight. Five months later (nine months after giving birth) I was back to my pre-baby weight and had only a small gap left in my stomach muscles. The back pain was completely gone and I was able to easily lift and carry my (quickly) growing baby. Without Gemma's help I have no doubt that I would still be struggling hugely."
