Listen Later

In this inspiring and empowering episode, Jen Dugard is joined by MumSafe™ Trainer Ana Le Carpentier, who shares her journey from new mum to confident business owner and advocate for women’s health.

After experiencing a traumatic first birth, postpartum complications, and a lack of support from the healthcare system, Ana turned her frustration into purpose. She became the pre- and postnatal trainer she once needed creating safe, judgment-free spaces where mums can move with confidence, rebuild trust in their bodies, and learn to advocate for themselves.

Together, Jen and Ana discuss the reality of postpartum recovery, the gaps in prenatal education, and how trainers can better support women by collaborating with allied health professionals and listening deeply to every client’s story.

This episode celebrates courage, community, and the belief that change begins when one woman decides to do better for herself and for others.

Highlights:

  • How Ana’s own birth and postpartum experience inspired her to become a MumSafe™ Trainer
  • Why awareness of hypertonic pelvic floor and postpartum pain is essential for safe return to exercise
  • The power of collaboration between trainers and women’s health physios
  • How a lack of prenatal education leaves women feeling unprepared and unsupported
  • Building confidence as a new business owner and stepping out of the studio with courage
  • Turning frustration into advocacy: helping one more mum at a time

  • Why language, empathy, and self-advocacy are key to transforming client experiences
  • The importance of prevention and proactive women’s health education
  • Key Takeaway:
    When women understand their bodies and are encouraged to speak up for their needs, everything changes. Ana’s story reminds trainers that education, compassion, and collaboration create safer, stronger pathways for mums and that every conversation can be the start of change.
