About me
From a professional ballerina and circus artist turned passionate fitness coach, with 25+ years of experience of movement and 10+ years of helping women discover the potential of their bodies.
What you will get with PaleyFit programs:
A different approach
I will not only name the exercise and count the reps for you.
Instead, I explain how to do each movement properly:
-
how to breathe
-
what you should feel
-
(and what you definitely shouldn’t).
All in an easy, and humorous way
Open communication
If you ever have questions about technique, feel unsure about an exercise, or just need someone to vent to — I’m always here.
We can all share our wins and struggles in the group chat — because it's just more fun reaching goals together!
My core principle
It’s important to me that you see real results.
I’ll do everything I can to make your path to the mat as smooth, encouraging, and enjoyable as possible.
And so you come back for more!

FAQs
I'm over 35 and have never really exercised. Is it too late to start? It's not too late to start — in fact, this is the perfect time. The body responds well to movement at any age, and starting with the right foundation makes all the difference. The Beginner's Guide to Strength & Health was built exactly for this: no experience needed, no pressure, just a clear and structured start.
Where do I begin if I have back pain? If you have back pain, the Beginner's Guide is the place to begin. Back pain is one of the most common reasons women come to Paley Fit, and the program addresses it from the ground up — breathwork, posture, and movement patterns that take the load off your back. If your pain is connected to the pelvic area or postpartum recovery, the Pelvic Floor Recovery program is the better starting point.
What even is the pelvic floor and why does it matter? The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports your bladder, bowel, and uterus — and it matters because it plays a role in almost everything: posture, breathing, back stability, and sexual health. When it's not functioning well, you might notice leaking, pelvic pressure, lower back pain, or just a general feeling of disconnect from your body. The good news is it responds really well to targeted, gentle training.
I leak when I sneeze, laugh, or jump. Can exercise actually help? Yes, exercise can genuinely help — leaking is a sign that the pelvic floor needs attention, not that it's permanently broken. The Pelvic Floor Recovery program works specifically on coordination and control, not just strengthening. Many women notice a real difference with consistent practice.
Do I need to see a physiotherapist before starting? You don't need to see a physiotherapist before starting, unless you have a specific diagnosis, prolapse, or acute pain — in that case, it's always a good idea to check with a healthcare provider first. For most women with general back discomfort, pelvic floor weakness, or simply a long break from movement, you can start here safely and work at your own pace.
Can I exercise if I had a C-section? Yes, you can exercise after a C-section, but timing matters. Wait until your scar has healed and you've been cleared for gentle movement — typically no earlier than 4 months postpartum. The Pelvic Floor Recovery program is designed to be slow and progressive, which makes it well-suited for C-section recovery.
I feel completely disconnected from my body after having kids. Is that normal? Feeling disconnected from your body after having kids is very normal — and very fixable. The programs here are built around reconnecting: learning to feel and control your body again, not pushing through it. Many women describe this as the part they didn't know they were missing.
How much time do I realistically need per week? You don't need much time per week. The Beginner's Guide is 30 minutes, 3 times a week. The Pelvic Floor Recovery program goes from 5 to 30 minutes a day. Pocket Workouts fit into 10–15 minutes whenever you have them. The idea is to build a habit that actually works in a real life — not an ideal one.
I'm not postpartum — I'm just 40+ and things feel... off. Can I still benefit? Yes, you can absolutely still benefit, even without childbirth. Pelvic floor function naturally changes with age and hormonal shifts. The Pelvic Floor Recovery program is specifically designed for women 40+ who are new to exercise and want to feel stronger, more in control, and less uncomfortable in their body.
What's the difference between all the programs? Here's how the programs differ:
-
Beginner's Guide — start here if you're new to movement. A structured foundation: breathing, posture, strength. 30 min, 3x per week.
-
Pelvic Floor Recovery — a focused program for postpartum women (4+ months) and women 40+ dealing with leaking, pelvic pain, or back discomfort.
-
Bulletproof Body Club — a membership for women who've finished the Beginner's Guide and want to keep progressing.
-
Pocket Workouts — short 10–15 min sessions for travel, busy days, or adding movement between gym sessions.
-
Breathing Therapy — a standalone program to build the habit of proper breathing from scratch.
Not sure which fits? Book a session and we'll figure it out together.
When should I not train? You should not train if you are pregnant, have been advised against exercise by a doctor, have acute pain or inflammation, diastasis recti wider than 4 cm, osteoporosis, or are less than 3 months postpartum. When in doubt, check with your healthcare provider first.
