The Postnatal Trainer Lisa Mitchell

I was joined by the wonderful Kate Parsons from In Bloom Integrative Therapy. Kate Parsons is a qualified registered Clinical Counsellor with PACFA, but also has a background in Kinesiology. Kate's recent studies have led her to grow a love and excitement for the use of Emotional Freedom Techniques which is commonly called Tapping.

A few areas we spoke about

- The science around Tapping

- How it can be beneficial during pregnancy

- How it can assist with emotional eating

- Looking at body acceptance and acceptance of where you're at 

And much more

Kate is also offering free 30 minute initial consults online or over the phone and to get in touch with her I’ll pop her contact details below and also where to follow along on Instagram.

I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did and here we go

In this episode I go over how you can still fit time into your weekly schedule to move your body. Whether that's fitting in a workout or a daily 10 minute walk.

Some takeaways from the episode to help


Start small 1 day a week with whole body focus 20-30 mins
Start with minimal equipment so you don’t overwhelm yourself
Build from there Eventually move to 2-3 days a week again whole body focus
As you get more comfortable think about how you can add load and look at the structure of your program It has to work for you and your lifestyle
Motivation will not always be there so some days you just have to get on with it. consistency is key.
Think about non weight related goals and focus on performance goals.
