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 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, 2025I wish I’d found Debbie in my first pregnancy. I attended Buoyancy BumpFit and Pregnancy Yoga in my second pregnancy and loved both of these and know they helped me to birth my second daughter physiologically and with minimal intervention both during pregnancy and labour. Debbie is an advocate for pregnant women and is so supportive of those wanting to maintain physical activity throughout. Her passion shines through and she clearly loves her job and cares for the women she works with. Not only did she encourage me to complete a 10km event, she joined me and supported me for every step! I’d 100% recommend her and her classes to anyone I know x

February 28, 2025I’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

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

January 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, 2025I 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!

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!

January 28, 2025I 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.
