Being pregnant is intense. Reformer pilates gives your body the movement it needs, and gives you a way to stay present with what is happening.
Book your first sessionTessa is a mum herself. What she brings comes not only from her training, but also from experience — she knows how it feels, and what does and does not work then.
Keep moving in a way that fits what is changing. The reformer lets you adjust the resistance as the months go on, so you stay active without forcing anything. And it gives you a moment with yourself, instead of just pushing through.
Building back up gently, at your own pace. We do not start where you left off but where you are now, and work from there back towards strength and form.

Every month something changes in how you move. Your centre of gravity shifts, your pelvis carries differently, and exercises that felt fine last time suddenly no longer fit.
So I watch while you move, correct where it’s needed, and we adapt the exercise to the stage you are in. Not according to a fixed schedule, but according to what your body can handle that day.
Guidance that moves with the stage you are in, from the first months to well after birth.
We talk about the stage you are in and what to watch out for. If there is any doubt, we check with your doctor or midwife.
What feels good in the fourth month no longer fits in the eighth. The sessions change along with your body.
You come back when you are ready, not according to a schedule. We resume gently and build from there.
Questions about tiredness, doubt, or how it feels not to recognise your own body: there is room for them. Tessa has had them herself.
A pregnancy and the recovery afterwards cover a long stretch of time together. How long you want guidance is up to you.
Enough time to learn to feel your body differently and to set down a solid base. For anyone who wants to experience what this work does.
The time your body needs to hold on to change. We build up, adjust and deepen what is there.
Guidance that goes with you through a stage that is itself changing. For anyone who would rather not go through it alone.
We put a programme together with you. The session rates are the basis: €70 private, €50 per person in duo, with a bundle discount from 5 sessions. What your programme costs exactly, we talk through at the start.
Tell us where you are in your pregnancy or your recovery, and we will look together at what fits. From one mum to another, if you find that helpful.
