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 cannot say enough positive things about Debbie's classes! I have done all of her different pregnancy/baby classes over my 3 pregnancies and the knowledge, support and confidence I have had from her has made such a huge difference to my parenting journey, especially during pregnancy and birth. The phrase 'above and beyond' could have invented for Debbie. Her knowledge is incredible and she is both willing and able to give advice on just about anything you can think of to do with birth, parenting or fitness, and is always happy to answer extra questions, reply to messages or just be a listening ear. Her classes aren't just a yoga or exercise class. They are basically exercise, birth prep and a support group all rolled into one, especially her yoga classes. I have nothing bad to say about Babyfit, it is incredible and I wish every expectant mother was able to benefit from it!

January 28, 2025I 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.

April 28, 2024I 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 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 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 🧡

January 28, 2025I 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.

January 28, 2025Excellent classes - really understood my needs as a new mother, the exercise felt challenging whilst still looking after my post birth body, and it felt like a safe and comfortable environment. Also really fun and enjoyed meeting other mums. Thank you.
