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.

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!

February 28, 2025Debbie'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!

January 28, 2025My daughter is 8 now but i still remember Debbie’s kind words, advice and fitness/strength training in those tough first few months of motherhood. I still do many of the exercises she showed me and highly recommend her to new mums or mums to be 🙏🏻

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!

January 28, 2025Amazing 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.

January 28, 2025Debbie 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!

I have done Debbie’s pregnancy yoga, baby yoga, birth preparation workshop and pregnancy buoyancy bumpfit. Debbie is an extremely knowledgable personal trainer with a specific interest in pregnancy, postnatal and women’s health. She has so much knowledge and I recommend her classes to anyone who is pregnant - you will not regret it. Her classes kept me fit and mobile during my pregnancies and her knowledge is ultimately why I had a home birth, which was such a positive experience compared to my first hospital birth. I would not have had the courage to do this without her support and knowledge. If you’re thinking of trying a class - don’t think twice just do it, you won’t regret it!

January 28, 2025I 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!

April 28, 2020I am so glad i came across Debbies pregnancy aquafit and yoga classes. They have been without a doubt the best thing i have done for my pregnancy. I literally want to stay pregnant so i can carry on with the aquafit classes! I feel sad that next week will be my last one, i will really miss it as I love it so much. It helped my mental health no end, not to mention my physical health. It was very uplifting and i look forward to it each week. Debbie is an amazing person and so passionate about what she does. Highly recommend to any pregnant woman.
