About Me

Hi! My name is Debbie and I am BabyFit.
I fell in love with exercise, fitness and movement in my teens, but my passion was truly ignited when I qualified as a fitness instructor back in 2005.
My journey into specialising in pregnancy and post birth initially started after my eldest daughter was born. Having experienced multiple miscarriages and loss beforehand, I spent her pregnancy doing nothing, and my goodness did I feel it! From excess weight gain, poor mental wellbeing, to the length of time it took me to recover.
I was determined to do it differently next time and so when pregnant with my youngest daughter, I gained my first pre/postnatal qualification. I went on to exercise all the way through her pregnancy and it was a much happier and wholesome experience. However what I did find out on this journey was that the women’s health symptoms I had been dealing with were not normal ‘because I’d had a baby’. This took me on a much deeper dive into the physical, physiological and psychological changes that happen on the journey from pregnancy to parenthood.

I believe in the power of nurture and support through every stage of motherhood. From the first positive pregnancy test and exciting flutters of pregnancy, all the way into and through the profound journey of motherhood. My mission is to stand by you, offering guided sessions that have been specifically designed to support you on this personal and individual physical transformation. BabyFit offers more than just weekly classes; it’s a community where every new and expecting mother can find her strength, balance, and peace of mind.

What I Do

BabyFit offers something unique and special, encapsulating all areas of movement to ensure your body is the best it can be throughout this personally unique and special journey of pregnancy to parenthood. My aim is to provide a sanctuary where you are able to connect with your body and baby on a deeper level, enabling you to walk tall and confidently as you make choices and decisions to do it your way.
Whether you’re looking for the strength to meet the demands of motherhood, the calm in the beautiful storm of raising a baby or a moment to connect with other mothers, BabyFit is here to welcome you with open arms.

  • Debbie reassured and supported me in pregnancy as I navigated continuing to exercise in pregnancy. She is highly knowledgeable, supportive and kind. I loved attending her pregnancy yoga class - it helped me learn stretches to support my pelvis and optimise baby’s position for birth. If you’re looking for support to continue exercising in pregnancy in the way that works for you or for support with pregnancy aches and pains and keeping mobile with yoga I couldn’t recommend Debbie more highly 🧡

    I have known Debbie for years through the fitness industry and when I fell pregnant with my first she was the person I contacted about doing her yoga and aqua classes and I'm so glad I did, she's absolutely brilliant and so knowledgeable, I learnt so much from her, I'm forever grateful to Debbie for her support & knowledge and very professional, i also met a wonderful group of pregnant mamas through both classes and im still good friends with a few of them today (met them 2020 before lockdown) Highly recommend Debbie, the best pregancy yoga and aqua classes in Norwich!!

    I wish I had discovered Babyfit sooner, with my first child. The experience I had at Babyfit with my second, prenatal and postnatal experience was amazing. Debs is so knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. I learnt so much and have carried what I learnt into my day to day life as my child has grown. When I felt so low and overweight Deb told me to go buy a pair of trainers and start walking. A few years later I'm about to run my first half marathon with my little ones cheering me on. Thanks Deb

  • Debbie's classes were always such a highlight of my week! She went above and beyond to look after me and bump and I always left feeling uplifted. I feel super grateful that I met Debbie and I always recommend her to everyone. She provides high quality sessions and is very thorough in tailoring any movement to you and your body. I wouldn't go to anyone else! She really has a way with helping you make positive changes in your life by sharing her knowledge and supporting you through your journey.

    I attended Debbie’s bump yoga+ classes from 14 weeks up until baby arrived and I’m so glad I did. Debbie is the kindest soul and her knowledge is exceptional. She isn’t afraid to have an opinion but also doesn’t force that opinion onto you. I had to navigate some difficult situations during my pregnancy and Debbie was a shoulder to lean on but also gave me the confidence I needed to deal with those situations and advocate for myself/baby. The classes gave me a much needed opportunity to switch off once a week and move my body in a gentle way and I really miss them now baby is here!

    Amazing lady, can't recommend enough. I went to courses both pre and post pregnancy and she was super knowledgeable, open and helpful. Happy to tailor her advice to your level of fitness/desired fitness too.

  • Debbie is so knowledgeable, I love how informative and supportive her classes are. I attended two different classes with Debbie, both immediately after having my son (with other mums and babies) and then afterwards when I attended bootcamp to get fitter myself. Highly recommended.

    I loved Debbie’s classes after having my second baby, I was struggling emotionally with sleep deprivation and losing my mum. The classes were really holistic and encompassing of all elements of post natal wellbeing, not just fitness. I still make the easy tomato soup sometimes that was part of some weekly nutrition tips!
