I’m Alexandra, a qualified pre and postnatal personal trainer, mum to my 18-month-old son Raffael, and I’ve been coaching women for over 10 years - specialising in pregnancy and postpartum for the last five.
There is still such a lack of clear, evidence-based information around how and why women should exercise during pregnancy and postpartum, and how to do it safely. My aim is to empower women with the knowledge and confidence to move safely through this stage of life and beyond.
I’m also the founder of VILLAGE by mum, an online platform created to support women through pregnancy and postpartum with expert-led guidance and community - because no mum should have to navigate it alone.
