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's classes are incredible, and I really believe they made a huge difference to my birthing experience and ability to be active right up until labour! Debbie equips you with knowledge for pregnancy and postpartum, helps works on common areas of trouble during both (and remembers any individuals with problems in certain areas, and modifies the moves if needed for them), and brings such fun and warmth to the classes. I really miss them already, and am hoping to join her baby yoga classes one day soon. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone pregnant or postpartum!

    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!!

    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 don't know if I can even start to explain how valuable this course has been to me as a mum to be (although there are several second time mums that attended too) but I'll try... I chose to attend the early and late pregnancy yoga course and repeat both courses, each course is six weeks, so I attended for 24 weeks. In this time I learnt some of the most important information in my pregnancy journey. The start of each session provided the opportunity to talk about how our week had been, Debbie always had a knowledgeable and reassuring word for each of us as we spoke about both good and bad days of our week, giving us honest tips and information to support us through that particular point of our pregnancy. Debbie has So much education behind her so her support and suggestions always made me feel relaxed and educated. The sessions helped me keep moving though my pregnancy right up until the last moment! It helped keep me mobile and also provided the opportunity to not only relax but increase my confidence and self belief that I can birth my baby with all the information at hand, reminding me that I have son much choice. I also made friends there too. The positions and exercises are created to help you to move in the early stages of birthing and also beyond into fourth trimester, they are not always easy but that felt good! I loved knowing that I was doing something amazing for my baby and I. I honestly feel that Debbie and these sessions helped instill calmness and confidence throughout my pregnancy. I would highly recommend attending these classes! Thanks Debbie for all of your support and guidance!

    I attended Debbie's pregnancy yoga classes and it helped me enormously - my crippling sciatica was fixed through her exercise routine, and I strongly believe her advice about movement to prepare and during birth helped me to birth quicker and be more confident in the delivery room. Strongly recommend even if you've never been to yoga before.

  • Debbie is a simply fantastic instructor. I attended her courses after having both my children which led me back to full fitness. Her knowledge and experience is encouraging and inspiring helping to recover after birth in the most positive way. Highly recommended!

    Debbie's classes have been amazing. I have attended Bump Yoga, Buoyancy Bumpfit and now Baby Yoga. Her classes have given me knowledge and research options to assist with my pregnancy/birth and forth trimester and gave me the confidence to continue exercising throughout my pregnancy and ongoing. My little girl also enjoys the baby yoga 🙂

    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.
