These programs focus primarily on improving awareness of the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles and how to properly engage them. This knowledge is then applied and progressed through a series of safe exercises, appropriate to your stage of pregnancy.
The exercises will enhance your strength, flexibility, mobility and balance, and improve your postural support as your pregnancy progressively challenges it. Coupled with breathing and relaxation techniques, the knowledge and skills you gain will contribute to a smoother pregnancy and birth, and a speedier post-natal recovery.
Clearance from your GP or Obstetrician is requisite before commencing these sessions.
One-on-one and small group format (and can take place in the comfort of your own home).
Testimonials
Dale and I worked together very closely on my fitness and wellbeing, prior to, during, and after my pregnancy with twins. Paying close attention to all advice we received from my GP and Obstetrician, Dale created a program for me with variety and progression, challenging me within safe parameters.
We reduced from 3 to 2 sessions per week towards the end of my second trimester and continued until 30 weeks. I felt really healthy and very energized throughout and I had my boys at 36.5 weeks, which is great for a twin pregnancy! I also recovered really well from the Caesarian and overall, which I’m sure is due to the work Dale and I did together.
I am please to say I am still doing Pilates with Dale 5 years on!

I had suffered pelvic instability and severe sciatica with debilitating pain since giving birth. Working with Dale on retraining my pelvic floor and learning to engage my core to support good posture, along with his breath work and relaxation techniques has made a huge difference.
He has provided me with invaluable tips about safe, comfortable sitting, standing and lying postures, including driving, at my desk, sleeping, lifting and carrying. He has shown me ways to take the strain out of my lower back, enabling me to finally have proper, pain free, healing and recovery time, rather than repeating my same old patterns that were only perpetuating my problems and pain.
