Meet your coach, Jo
Before I'm a coach, I'm a mum.
Like so many women, motherhood changed me in ways I never expected.
It was beautiful.
It was exhausting.
It was rewarding.
And at times, it was incredibly lonely.
I remember wondering where the version of me before motherhood had gone.
I knew movement made me feel better, but what I really missed was connection. I missed adult conversations. I missed feeling capable. I missed doing something that was just for me.
As I spoke to more mums, I realised I wasn't the only one feeling that way.
So many women were trying to figure it all out on their own.
They wanted to exercise again but didn't know what was safe.
They felt guilty taking time for themselves.
They missed having people who understood this season of life.
Then, after becoming a mum of three, I found myself reconnecting with something I'd loved since I was a little girl horses.
Being back outdoors, slowing down and spending time with them reminded me of something I'd forgotten.
Sometimes, the things that help us feel like ourselves again aren't complicated.
They're often the simple things that ground us.
Fresh air.
Movement.
Nature.
Connection.
That realisation has shaped the heart of Reignite.
I didn't create it simply to help mums exercise.
I created it to be a place where women could reconnect with themselves.
A place where babies are welcome.
Where no one apologises if they're late.
Where every woman is encouraged exactly as she is.
Where movement helps women rediscover their strength, and community reminds them they're never doing motherhood alone.
Because I believe every mum deserves that.
You're in safe hands
Supporting women through pregnancy and motherhood is more than my job. It's something I'm deeply passionate about.
With over six years of experience in pregnancy and postnatal exercise, I've continued to build my knowledge so every mum who walks through the doors of Reignite feels supported with safe, evidence-based guidance.
As a qualified Pregnancy & Postnatal Exercise Specialist and Level 2 MumSafe™ Trainer, every session is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you're pregnant, newly postpartum or returning to exercise after years away, you'll always be supported with options that suit your body, your energy and your goals.
My qualifications include:

I also work closely with local Women's Health Physiotherapists, referring mums whenever extra assessment or support is needed. I believe the best outcomes happen when health professionals work together, so you always receive the care that's right for you.
You'll never be expected to keep up or push through.
Instead, I'll help you build strength, confidence and trust in your body at a pace that feels right for you.
And because I know how challenging it can be to find time for yourself, babies and children are always welcome. Some of the best friendships begin while little ones are playing beside us.
That's the kind of community I hope every mum experiences at Reignite.
