I went to Julie with a sensitive, hard & lumpy, pulling C-section scar. Julie gave me a complete top to toe once over (perhaps what our doctors should do at a 6week post natal check) she checked my breathing & my diastasis recti.
Julie used soothing moogwax during my massage, which smells and feels absolutely amazing. Using gentle touch, movements & her special massage tool Julie was able to ease my angry scar to a happy more settle scar that didn’t pull or drag during exercising or playing with my Son. I also felt some more sensation and feeling come back around and on my scar which I hadn’t felt since having my son in May 2018.
I can honestly say my breathing was better (I was able to take a deep full breath) and my ‘mummy shelf’ as I called it felt soo much better and easier when moving around etc and I’ve noticed such a difference with how much my C-section swelling has reduced since having the massage with Julie. I will definitely be visiting Julie again for another session.
I took my young daughter to see Julie for some scar massage and advice. She was absolutely spot on with her expert advice and taught us both techniques for treating the scars. After the session it was amazing to see how much better the scars looked already. A few months on and we can now see how much positive progress has been made by following Julie’s advice. It is also worth noting how sensitive Julie was to the age of my child and how kindly and realistically she spoke about the trauma she’d had – Julie a real gentle and knowledgeable soul and gave us much much better post-care advice than what we had from the consultant at hospital. I strongly recommend!
I had a C section massage recently. didn’t know if I’d benefit or what it would actually involve but even after 18 months I’m so glad I did it!! What Julie doesn’t know about a post natal body isn’t worth knowing! She is so knowledgable and explains everything so well. Highly recommend the C section massage to anyone who has had one – however long ago!!
This course has been very educationally beneficial for me. I have learned a lot about my post natal body and what to do and not to do. Julie has been a great coach and clearly is very knowledgeable in this area!
Julie is a fabulous motivator & trainer. I’ve never got bored, like I have with other PT’s, as the training is so varied. Julie somehow makes training fun whilst making you work hard & you suddenly realise that you are doing more than you were the previous week. The group sessions are fun & there is no hidding place, you still have to put the effort in but at your own pace. I’ve found that I’ve had less sports related injuries since training with Julie but when I have she has the knowledge to get me fixed quickly. Training & nutrition is Julie’s passion & it shows week in week out.
I was apprehensive when we had to resort to online programs due to Covid as I thought we’d lose the personal touch but again Julie has been brilliant! Julie has adapted the classes so we can use whatever equipment we have at home & kept us smiling throughout. Thank you Julie x
Julie is superb! After a second c-section, I was keen to get back exercising in the right way to lose weight and tone up. As a mother herself, she totally understands the difficulty in not only getting out of the house with a new baby, but also being able to get out and properly exercise with someone monitoring and encouraging you.
Happy Body Project is by far the best thing I have done for my post natal journey! Both physically and mentally, it has been amazing. The mum and baby classes are fantastic; tailored specifically to post natal recovery so all exercises are safe, plus your baby is with you and “socialising” with other babies too! There is no worry about having to tend to your baby during class, or that they’re going to cry and put others off, we’re all in the same boat!
I have also had a c-section massage with Julie which was again fantastic, I noticed results immediately and was shown techniques to carry on with at home. I will definitely be rebooking!
Every woman who has had a baby needs Julie in their lives !! Despite being very active and quite fit during last pregnancy my abs were not so happy nor was my pelvic floor especially after three sections! Julie was just what I needed and after a 6 week programme so much has changed in my life ( for the better ) … who else can say they went trampolining after 4m with NO leaks ! I also had the c-section scar massage which was amazing and so helpful for me to reconnect with how my babies had to arrive in the world.
The programme has had a real impact on my mental and physical well being all helped by the amazing Julie!
Julie is a great personal trainer, she absolutely knows her stuff. Everyone is made to feel equal no matter what your fitness level is. I thoroughly enjoy the group sessions, they are a great workout & we always have a laugh too which takes away some of the pain all in all what Julie achieves for her clients is results. Thank you for what you do for us xx
I am the poster girl for hating exercise, but signed up to Julie’s Core and Restore class a couple of months after giving birth…in 6 weeks I lost lots of inches and kgs, and feel incredibly strong in my core and pelvic floor. Now moved onto the Heat class, which is as it sounds! Julie explains well, helps us out with food ideas and most importantly to me, patient when i need something explaining for the thousandth time! A great positive person to be around at this time of my life with a 7 month old depriving me of sleep!
I had c section scar tissue massage on my scar with Julie 13 weeks PP. it was relaxing and not painful at all. Julie was lovely and I was amazed at the difference in my scar after just an hours treatment. Afterwards she emailed me techniques she used which my scar responded well to so that I can do them on myself. She was really knowledgeable and I felt comfortable the whole way through.
Julie is friendly, approachable and highly professional. It is reassuring that she pays such attention to detail when it comes to technique and she really helps her class get the most from a workout. I have been to her Mum and Baby Fitness class and Holistic Core Restore Heat class, and I’m hoping to go to the Holistic Core Restore Heavy class when I feel ready. Thanks Julie for helping me get back into shape x
Following x2 operations on my cervix I was told I needed to strengthen my pelvic floor or face possible complications during pregnancy. I went through a few Personal Trainers who didn’t have the correct experience before I found Julie. She is professional, knowledgeable and makes you feel completely at ease. Her classes are fun, varied and thorough and I always look forward to them. After 6 weeks I can already feel a difference and have signed up for more without hesitation. Thanks Jules!
Julie has helped me get back into exercise since 8 weeks post partum. Her classes are varied and suitable for all abilities. I cannot recommend her enough to new mums. Julie is so lovely, she is knowledgeable and supportive. She really looks after us and makes sure we exercise safely, and of course have fun.
Julie is brilliant! She is welcoming, approachable and extremely knowledgeable! She really takes pride and care in her job ! She is happy to individualise training needs ! I was able to do her HCR course throughout my 2nd pregnancy and feel comfortable & safe whilst doing this!
Her mum & baby class is a really good class to get you back into exercise safely it not only helps you strengthen your core & pelvic floor muscles but it also just helps you regain back some of your confidence!
I have been going to Julie’s Heavy class for over 4 months now and absolutely love it! She is so knowledgeable, plans activities that are challenging but not impossible and my confidence has definitely increased because of the post-class buzz!
Julie is fantastic. She makes working out really enjoyable (who knew!), being a Mum of two herself and looking as good as she does provides serious motivation. She really cares and talks genuine sense, no jargon or mumbo jumbo.
I feel stronger and leaner. After 3 children my pelvic floor is stronger and has had some much needed strengthening!
I’ve been working with Julie for a while now and can really see an improvement in my core strength and strength in general. Her classes are always fun and she always comes up with alternative moves if you are not feeling great or you’ve damaged something. She keeps us posted on healthy foods and recipies and always goes the extra mile for everyone.
I would recommend her to anyone.
