In this episode of The MumSafe Movement Podcast Jen is talking to Dani Petrik of Newy Fitness as the fourth in our 'FOCUS ON YOU' mini series.  

Dani is a qualified pre and postnatal coach and a proud mum of two boys. She understands first-hand the physical and emotional highs and lows that come with giving birth. Dani's own postnatal journey taught her how resilient a woman's body can be with the right support and guidance.

That's why she founded Newy Fitness - a safe space where women can build up strength and confidence in their bodies through exercise post-birth. Dani's approach to coaching also focuses on educating women about their bodies and promoting confidence in training outside of the Newy Fitness sessions.

Dani’s personal experience of birth trauma and prolapse are behind the drive she has to make sure no mother ever feels disempowered like she did.  She believes every woman needs education and hope.

Jen wanted to speak with Dani today as she is one of our newer MumSafe Trainers having only been with us for the past 9months.  When she joined us she was in the process of re-branding and re-launching her business after her second child and really wanted to gain more support from both an education and business perspective and wanted to be part of a community of support.

Through trial and error she has created a business that works for herself, her family and her clients and is excited about what 2024 will bring now she has great foundations in place.

If you’re at the early stages of your fitness business journey or have ever struggled with your confidence this is going to be a fantastic episode for you.

In this episode of The MumSafe Movement Podcast Jen is talking to Lisa of Body Resent Fitness as the third in our 'FOCUS ON YOU' mini series.  We will be dropping some extra podcasts during this time because we know that hearing the stories of others really helps you to understand you are not alone in your business.

Lisa's mission is to give ladies and mums a supportive environment alongside education about their bodies to reset and rebuild from the inside out. Lisa is a mum of two active teen boys and understands how strong you have to be to be a mother both physically and mentally. 

Body Reset Fitness was born out of the awareness that some ladies do not feel comfortable in a gym environment, they are not sure where to start or they need to be in an environment whereby they feel welcomed, comfortable, safe, included and seen.

Lisa became a MumSafe Trainer in 2019 and has made some huge transitions within her already established business which we will delve into in todays episode.  Lisa is a great example of someone who takes learnings, implements and constantly fines along the way.  She is also incredibly generous with her energy and support of other trainers in the team.

We know you are going to love learning from Lisa’s journey

In this episode of The MumSafe Movement Podcast Jen is talking to Louise of Strong Mums Gosford as the second in our 'FOCUS ON YOU' mini series.  We will be dropping some extra podcasts during this time because we know that hearing the stories of others really helps you to understand you are not alone in your business.

Louise began what would be an eleven year career in clinical and research psychology in the UK. She moved to Australia and became a mum for the first time in 2015. 

With a growing family came a shift in priorities and the desire for a career change to better suit her family’s lifestyle. 

In 2017 Strong Mums was launched and Louise gained Safe Return to Exercise certification, became a MumSafe™ trainer and also became a Pregnancy and Postnatal Corrective Exercise Specialist. 

Since the launch of Strong Mums she has helped hundreds of women safely strengthen their body and return to the exercise and movement they love. 

Over the years working with mums, Louise listened to many of these women say that they needed to lose weight and return to their pre-body body shape and size. She observed the pressure they were under to meet certain aesthetic expectations and saw how the postnatal body with its stretch marks, cellulite, body fat and rolls was not represented in the media. 

She also saw how the fitness industry continues to do a disservice to women by directly associating weight loss, low BMI (Body Mass Index) with health, happiness and confidence.

Louise has now merged her skills in mental health with her passion for pregnancy and postnatal movement by creating the Body Resilient Mum Project. This online course provides mums with education and  practical skills commonly used in behaviour therapies to overcome feelings of shame, insecurity and unfamiliarity with their postnatal body. She is host of the Body Resilient Mum Podcast (found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify).

Louise strongly advocates for believing you are more than what your body looks like after having children and Jen is incredibly excited to bring this insight into Louise journey to you today.

In this episode of The MumSafe Movement Podcast Jen is talking to Nikki Knieriem of Body 4 Mind Connections as the first episode in our 'FOCUS ON YOU' mini series on The MumSafe Movement Podcast.  We will be dropping some extra podcasts during this time because we know that hearing the stories of others really helps you to understand that you are absolutely not alone in business.

Nikki specialises in Women's health & fitness, with a focus on improving body and mind health. She is helps women to focus on four main pillars; exercise, nutrition, sleep and stress reduction. Through her own experiences as a mum, she understands that time is limited, the to-do list is always long and often your own self-care practices fall further down the priority list. Nikki loves helping women to unlock barriers and safely move forward on their health & fitness journey.

Nikki has worked in the fitness industry for 20 years and since having her own children 7 years ago has specialised in pre & postnatal and women's fitness.

Prior to owning Body 4 Mind Connections (previously known as Mum-Me Fit Time), Nikki owned Impressions Dance & Fitness for 9 years and we talk about that in todays podcast.

Nikki was very open about her journey from becoming burnt out and shutting down her dance studio to moving fully into fitness and how she has worked on understanding her values and the numbers within her business to build a business that is truly in alignment with who she wants to be and the impact she wants to have in her own life and her community.
