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.

  • 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!

    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.

    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 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!

    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

    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!

  • I can not recommend Debbie and Babyfit enough. I attended pregnancy yoga from 3 months, learnt so much, enjoyed every second and made friends for life. I recommend Babyfit to everyone I know who becomes pregnant.

    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.

    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
