I didn't know I had Diastasis Recti until I started googling 'mum tum', 'belly pouch' after having a baby. Then I went to my GP who confirmed that I had a 3 finger gap, when I asked what the next step would be she googled some exercises on the internet and handed them to me. I had to fight to be seen by a physio and that was too for only 3 sessions. Shortly after
I came across Heidi's Instagram page @pilatesol and started following her for a while but have only gotten in contact with her recently. Before contacting her i felt anxious but she is amazing, she has so much knowledge on diastasis and also treating your body as a whole with the correct breathing techniques. I am so excited to start exercising and reducing my mum tum . thank you

’Ive been training with Heidi for over ten years and can say without doubt that she is the most supportive instructor/fitness trainer I’ve had - she listens to help understand your goals and pushes you to achieve your targets but always at a pace you are comfortable with. Working out with Heidi on Zoom during the Coronavirus lockdown has been brilliant - and whilst I haven’t been able to use the Pilates Reformer equipment (and my favourite Wunda Chair) we’ve adapted our routines to make the most of what I have at home and I am definitely still feeling that burn! Thanks Heidi

Heidi is an amazing Pilates teacher to whom you can completely trust with your body. She's so creative in adaptions of the exercise towards your changing body but still challenges you further. She also explains what parts of muscles you exercise to improve or stretch which for me as a person who listens to my body to understand and support is really important. Heidi is fun and patient with babies while at the same time ensuring mum's exercise to benefit her physical and mental progress. I'd recommend to anyone who loves Pilates, wants to work hard and for mums who do not want to put their little ones into creches to have time for exercise.
I really enjoyed Heidi's postnatal Return to Fitness course, It was exactly what I needed to start rebuilding my strength after my C-section in a safe and supportive environment. Heidi is a brilliant and really encouraging instructor and i would highly recommend this course!

I trained with Heidi in my second and third trimester, she is a great teacher and motivator. Heidi gets you working your hardest to be strong and healthy during pregnancy and in preparation for birth, balanced with a sensitivity and lots of encouragement! She has a professional understanding of the anatomy and physiology and is passionate about Pilates which means safe and fun classes. I look forward to training with Heidi as part of my postnatal recovery too!
Heidi did an amazing job in helping me reduce an abdominal separation after 2 pregnancies. The exercises were really tailored to my issues and she is an amazing motivator. I really recommend her programme.

I have been training with Heidi since the summer and can't recommend the programme highly enough. It has improved my posture, back neck and shoulder pain and general flexibility. My tummy feels like it belongs to me again....!!

I highly recommend Heidi for helping venture back into exercise after having a baby. I have just booked a second block of pilates reformer sessions. These are great individualised sessions and it so helpful to be able to have the option to bring my baby along. I have also tried Heidi's Stretch and Tone and Zumba classes on a Saturday morning. Heidi's knowledge of pre and post natal means I feel the exercise I'm doing is safe and appropriate. My confidence in my body and how I look is starting to improve and my core is now so much stronger. As well as being knowledgeable, Heidi is fun, lively and always laughing. You leave her sessions feeling energised, empowered and smiling. Thank you Heidi.

Heidi has guided me through recovery from my last birth, and kept me strong for my current pregnancy. The reformer has been fundamental in my progress. Heidi is gentle, patient and very knowledgable on women's health both pre and post natal. I look forward to every session and feel revitalised and happier every week. I would recommend her to anyone - pre or postnatal or otherwise!
