Hi, I’m Claire!
I teach fitness professionals and physios a non-Kegel, my full-body approach to pelvic floor dysfunction so you can get your clients consistent relief from their symptoms, and offer them effective, long-term solutions to their problems.
Unlike other PFD exercise methods where the focal point is often the pelvis, I focus on a “from the ground up”, everything is connected, step-by-step approach which addresses:
WHY WORK WITH ME?
I can help you get your PFD clients reliable results, and help you attract MORE of your ideal customers into your business first time round.

Have you ever read a book that literally changed your life? ππΌββοΈ
.
Felt compelled to share the author's work with other people in your life so they too can benefit? π¬
.
Well, in this week's Pelvicpreneur podcast, I'm showcasing not one, but three books that have changed my life for the better π
.
Knowledge is power, and knowledge is even more powerful when you take action on it, and the three books you'll hear me talk about have action points in spades β

Throwback to me on holiday in Croatia last year, and guess what?! We're considering booking flights to go back in September βοΈ
.
Good idea, or not? The Croatian government is allowing travel to foreign nationals who have booked/pre-arranged accommodation π¨
.
No issues there for us, because the hosts of 3 of the places we visit regularly would welcome us with open arms (or maybe with a social distancing hug!?) π€
.
We may have to self-isolate for 14 days on returning to the UK, but I'm thinking 14 days sounds like a nice number, in comparison to the 372,522 days we've been in lockdown now - har har! π
.
Where would YOU go first, given the chance? Would you take the risk of booking flights right now, or not...? π€·ββοΈ

Happy birthday to YPM! My pelvic floor online Teacher Training program is 4 years old π
.
I could cry I'm so happy right now π You know when you've had to overcome so many challenges and negativity it almost felt impossible? That moment where you've put your heart and soul into a project, and years later you step back and still can't believe it? THAT ππ»
.
I'm incredibly grateful for every fitness/Yoga/Pilates instructor and Personal Trainer who has changed the way they teach exercise to clients with pelvic floor dysfunction as a result of YPM π
.
I'm thankful to each and every Women's Health Physio who's gone through the YPM content with open eyes and offered their pelvic floor patients a different perspective β
.
And, to every natural movement nerd who desperately wanted to help more men and women with PFD, but just needed to see how somebody else's mind had organised the huge qualification that is RES and give them permission to apply the "less is more" approach to pelvic floor rehab π€
.
At last count, I have 150+ Your Pelvic Matters Teachers qualified or in-training worldwide, and it's so comforting to know that help is out there π
.
Thank you to my Teacher Trainers for believing in me in the full-body, non-Kegel approach - you guys rock! π₯³
.
But none of this would be possible without my CLIENTS back in 2014/15 for whom I used as guinea pigs, trialling and testing all of this new fandangled approach online and in-person, which fortunately worked! π
.
Got myself a new ring light for Zoom calls at nightπ‘Past a certain time of an evening, half my face is in darkness and I look like the Phantom of the Opera! π ππ‘

Check out my IG stories for an unboxing segment and me setting it up (including a cameo appearance of my partner who decided to angle grind something whilst I was recording π) π₯

Do you feel frustrated that some PFD clients do their homework and others don't? π€―
.
Ever sent a pelvic floor client on their way with a series of exercises only to find out they'd hardly done any of them the next time they see you? π
.
Are you losing confidence in your abilities to deal with clients with incontinence, prolapse or pudendal neuralgia because you're just not getting them results? π₯Ί
.
In this week's Pelvicpreneur Podcast, Claire walks you through why you may be overcomplicating matters in your approach to pelvic floor dysfunction clients right nowβ¦
.
And, what you need to do to attract ideal customers into your business, so you never have to worry about the non-compliant ones ever again! ππ»

Got a pelvis model like this one, and work with clients with pelvic floor dysfunction? ππΌββοΈ
.
Here are some ideas to put that pelvic model to use in your marketing:
.
π€³ Take 10 smiley photos holding your pelvis in various poses
π¬ Change your profile picture to one these smiley photos holding your pelvis
π©βπ» Write several amazing posts for social media, and periodically use one of those 10 photos of you holding said pelvis alongside the captions
π₯ Film a series of videos highlighting topics like the glutes' role in pelvic floor function, pelvic neutral in seated, the muscle attachments of the pelvic floor (utilising said pelvis)
π» Upload these videos to IGTV, Facebook, YouTube, your blog etc
πΉGo LIVE on Instagram with your pelvis
π³ Come up with 2 names for your pelvis and ask your followers to vote for their favourite
π¦ Use your pelvis for storage
πΆββοΈ Take your pelvis on walks
πΈ Wear your pelvis as a crown
.
Pictures sell, and really help you connect with your audience π· Photos with people in them perform 67% better than without π
.
Videos are basically pictures on speed π¬
.
Get the idea it? ππ»
.
Alrighty. Comment below to let me know what you're going to do with your pelvis today π

.
Deal with clients with pelvic floor dysfunction? Find it frustrating when clients DON'T do their homeworkβ¦? π€―
.
What causes clients to NOT do the exercises you set them, do you think? π€
.
Think about a client you worked with that didn't adhere, didn't take your advice, didn't do the work. Kind of sucks, huh? ππ»
.
How did that make you feelβ¦? Let me know in the comments because I'd love to be able to help you here! π
.
Can we talk about PROLAPSE for a moment? I've been chatting to Pilates instructors over coffee on Zoom this week and it appears with prolapse, you fall into 2 camps:
.
You love yourself a prolapse like me ππΌββοΈ or
You kind of feel a little scared of clients with this condition π
.
If I created a simple pdf, video or webinar about my experiences with clients with prolapse would you be interested? π©βπ»
.
I'd cover: the do's and donβts of prolapse, exercises to avoid, what lifestyle factors to include, what's worked, what hasn't, why prolapse is so individual - that sort of thingβ¦? π€·ββοΈ
.
Comment YES or NO below if you'd be interested! β¬οΈ
.
How supportive is your partner of you and your business? Working for yourself and running your own business is not without its stresses π€―
.
With a lot of us working from home together, I can only imagine some of the struggles happening right now and that's why yesterday's newsletter on this topic was a timely reminder π
.
It's super frustrating when you want to go on your path, and you feel like your partner is disinterested π
.
However, increasing your pool of strong, supportive females who "get you" is one tip I shared ππΌββοΈ
.
Any of these sound familiar�
.
"Until I bring in more money from my business I donβt feel heβll ever really respect what I do."
.
"I think itβs really hard when there is inequality financially in a relationship and one person is earning way more than the other."
.
"I can't switch off and my partner hates it!"
.
"Thanks Claire, I tried to talk this process and idea though with my husband, and it was a total disaster. His eyes glazed over!"
.
So, do know that you're NOT alone here. Reach out to me. Get it off your chest! It's not wise to keep all of that emotion in all the time, ok? π§
.
So, how supportive is your partner of you and your business? Comment below and let me know! β¬οΈ

Do you have some days where you're super productive, and others where you achieve literally nothing and have no idea how it got to 7pm? π€·ββοΈ
.
I, and many of my podcast listeners can relate to this right now, and in this week's podcast episode, the message is clear: you are not alone with your life and business struggles right now π€
.
With social distancing, I think some of us thought we'd finally get the TIME to log into online courses we purchased months ago, and walk out with 6 new qualifications! π₯
.
We'd have TIME to take up new hobbies and finally be bored. Who ARE these people?! π
.
The days all blend into one at the moment (it is Thursday today, isn't it?!), and it's obvious that we're riding a rollercoaster of emotions π’ .
If you relate to any of the following:
β
low productivity
β
loss of income
β
lack of time
β
poor social media reach

I need your help! I'm looking for 3 exercise/movement people who really want to specialise with clients with pelvic floor problems to jump on Zoom for 30 mins tomorrow (Thursday 7th May 2020) π©βπ»
.
You could be a personal trainer, Pilates/Yoga teacher, pre/postnatal specialist, newly qualified women's health physio or similar and you can really see yourself working with more PFD clients in your future either one-on-one, or in groups πͺ
.
Just see it as an informal chat to see:
.
β
how work is going for you right now
β
what clients you've enjoyed working with this past year
β
which pelvic floor conditions you feel most comfortable treating
β
what struggles you've encountered with certain clients
.
As I say, it's all quite low-key, I'm not selling anything - it's just me asking questions for market research purposes only - nothing more, nothing less π¬
.
If you're interested, the time slots available for Thursday 7th May 2020 (UK time) are:
.
1:00pm
1:30pm
2:00pm

Send me a DM if you're interested and I'll set up the Zoom link! Thanks a bunch π .
Happy birthday to me! ππΊ π« π
.
I think today will consist of:
π chat with my family in Australia on Skype
πΆββοΈ a nice walk
π§Ί picnic (Mik braved the queues at the supermarket yesterday to get smoked salmon, cream cheese and a French bread stick π₯)
πΊ beer (obviously)
π₯ a real fire
ππ» a nice bath
π₯ then, dinner and a movie
.
Weβd normally jet off to somewhere for my birthday, and itβs ironic that the first year I have no commitments like teaching classes, I canβt do that due to Covid βοΈ
.
But, having a quarantine birthday actually isnβt all bad, and well, it puts life into perspective, particularly the need for βpresentsβ π
.
I donβt really feel like I NEED anything right now, and Iβll be happy today just doing all the things I enjoy doing, and drinking and eating all the things I enjoy drinking and eating πΊ π π«
.
Here we go! Whoop! ππ» π₯³

Doors are closing early to my "Take Your Niche Online" program due to an overwhelming response received yesterday ππ»
.
Do you want to join at the discounted price? Well, you'd better be quick so DM me now because this is the final time I'm offering this course on these terms π°
.
I am very serious when I say this: you can make money online, serving those amazing niche clients you were put on this planet to help π
.
I am also very serious when I say: this is my 10th online product launch and I know how the stats in a sales process work. And, these are things I can teach you too π©βπ»
.
Take Your Niche Online will guide you through the maze and headache that you THINK creating an online program is, and you'll walk away with a system that you can replicate with every single product thereafter β
.
I feel you right now. Teaching weekly classes on Zoom is stressful AF, and you're kind of frustrated that you're not bringing in much money for all of the hours you're putting in π«
.
You're frustrated that no one's seeing your posts on social media yet you spend so much time curating them, and you've thought many a time: "Is it really worth it?", but not openly admitted it π³
.
Your knowledge gaps are marketing (because you've never formally learnt it), selling (because it feels sleazy), niching down (because that feels scary), business skills (you've now just rolled your eyes) and most things tech (you've now just rolled over and died) π
.
I'm offering to hold your hand and walk you through every part of the "Take Your Niche Online" process from conception to birth and the question is: are you ready? π€·ββοΈ
.
Make 2020 THE year you finally stop talking about your online course, and start taking action to create it π€ΈββοΈ
.
Doors close to TYNO tomorrow (or sooner if all the spots are taken first!). DM me, or click the link in the bio now π»
.
And, what do you think to the quote...? Let me know in the comments... β¬οΈ
Doors to "Take Your Niche Online" are now open! π₯³
.
This course will show you how to create and successfully launch an online offering, and make money teaching THE niche client group you were born to serve π
.
Getting your own online offering out to the world seems so incredibly overwhelming that you just keep stalling, and that's why you're still here, teaching Zoom classes, seeing clients 1-2-1, taking on every customer with a pulse, and dare I say it - a lot of people-pleasing π³
.
Iβve created this 8-week program to help wellness professionals like you go from burnt out in-person coach to online expert, and find the EXACT clients you were put on this earth to help π
.
We're already seeing a shift in how clients access information in the health, fitness and wellness industry right now ππ»
.
Your ideal niche client is busy, so busy in fact that she can't always commit to coming to a weekly session with you in-person. She is however hungry to learn your holistic, blended, yet simplistic approach that gets results (yet if only she knew about you, and you had something to offer herβ¦) π€¦ββοΈ
.
You possess the knowledge, you have the experience and you even have the CONFIDENCE to educate your ideal niche client group online, but there's something's holding you back β
.
It could be time, money, or perhaps it's the sheer mention of "technology" that overcomes you beyond belief π€―
.
If someone (me) offered to walk you through the process from start to finish, holding your hand every step of the way, patiently answering your questions and giving words of encouragement, would you be up for that? ππΌββοΈ
.
Click the bio link, or send me a DM for more info! π©βπ»
I'm jumping on Zoom tomorrow to chat about niche client groups. Want to join me? ππΌββοΈ
.
Click the link in my bio, add your name to the list, and the Zoom link/password will automatically be emailed out to you π©βπ»
.
Date/time: Monday 27th April 2020 from 2-3:30pm (UK time) β
.
The chat is for you if:
π£ you need help narrowing down your niche client group
π£ you're scared to announce that if work with only X types of clients that you'll alienate half of your audience (and/or be leaving money on the table), and/or
π£ you want to create a group online program/course for your chosen niche populationβ¦
.
I have 5 x people lined up to be in the "hot seat" to chat about their niche client group for approx 15 minutes each, so it's going to be a fun and interactive session π₯
.
See you there! ππ»
.
Do you need help narrowing down your niche client group? ππΌββοΈ

Are you scared to announce that if work with only X types of clients, you'll alienate half of your audience (and/or be leaving money on the table)? π³
.
Do you want to create a group online program/course for this niche population in the next month? π©βπ»
.
Is your diary clear from 2-3:30pm (UK time) on Monday 27th April 2020? π
.
If you answered YES to all four of those questions, then you've passed phase 1 of the process here ππ»
.
On Monday 27th April from 2-3:30pm, I'm hosting a live Zoom call π»
.
And, I would love to invite 5 x of my followers on LIVE in the "hot seat" to chat about their niche client group for approx 15 minutes each
.
We'll talk about:
1οΈβ£ What's holding you back from narrowing your client group down
2οΈβ£ What fears you have about saying good bye to all of your other clients
3οΈβ£ What type of online offering may suit you, and your niche client group best
.
The best bit is, you'll walk away knowing:
π¦ WHO the clients are that you were put on this Earth to serve, and HOW you're going to help them online π
.
Sound good? Send me a message and I'll get you all set up! β
