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 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 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!

    My 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 🙏🏻

  • 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.

    I’ll forever be greatful to Debbie! I saw Debbie for Pregnancy Yoga and Aqua Fit! Not only did these classes help me prepare for the birth, but Debbie’s knowledge and kind manner shined through in every class! I also made a group of solid friends at the time we needed each other most (Covid) During labour I thought of Debbie, and all the ways she taught me to stay calm and in control. To listen to my body and not be lead by anyone else! Thank you Debbie for everything! Highly recommend to anyone looking for that person who can help guide you through the most wonderful and worrying time of your life! X

    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 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 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 attended Babyfit pre and postnatally. Debbie is hugely knowledgeable on all things pregnancy, postnatal and beyond in relation to women's health so you're I great hands. It's a great chance to get prepared for birth, chat to people in similar situations and look after your body and mind. Debbie really helps to boosts confidence and get you back! Not only that, I made some amazing friends.
