Postpartum Health & Wellbeing: For A Better You

Postpartum health & wellbeing practices are imperative to child rearing and ensuring the personal wellness of mums. Despite its relevance, to such a high percentage of the population, it is often overlooked. Finding the time to actively comfort and treat your body can be difficult as a mum. It feels as though there simply isn’t enough time in the day! Adding the extra research of what to do and how can make it seem almost impossible.

Charlotte Fitzgerald from For A Better You is an expert on how to take care of your postpartum body in a simple, effective way. Charlotte’s experience as a pelvic floor health coach means she has accumulated a range of information, which she practices herself. We at Bellamy Central couldn’t miss the opportunity to have For A Better You at the Evergreen Health & Wellbeing Fayre this May! We asked Charlotte to speak to our Bellamy Central readers about her practice.

How did you become interested in Health & Wellbeing practices?

It all started when I became a single mum 8 years ago. I was unable to return to work full time due to not being close to my family for support. I decided to turn my then hobby into a career and studied to become a Pilates instructor. I have been teaching now for 7 years. 

Why did you decide to develop your practice into a more niche direction?

My passion for anatomy grew. I was following a lady online who was educating fitness professionals on the pelvic floor. I myself was suffering with mild incontinence on an irregular basis. I had experienced the negative impact of having a weaker pelvic floor following the births of my two children. 

Fast forward to February 2020, I attended a 1 day course to learn more about the pelvic floor. What I learned on that day changed my life forever. It made me want to share the knowledge I had gained with any woman who would listen.

I have now been a pelvic floor health coach for almost 3 years and educated numerous women through my online courses and my social media platforms on the importance of pelvic floor health.

What do you believe the benefits of your practices are?

My postpartum health & wellbeing practices enable women to feel more knowledgeable and more confident in their pelvic floor. It prepares and protects them from having any unwanted accidents. 

Why is your practice important to you?

My mission is to empower women and help them regain confidence in their pelvic floor. I want to get rid of the taboo around incontinence and give women a safe space to speak up about any issues that they are currently facing. 

My next pelvic floor confidence course will be running online. A 4 week course that provides you with all you need to know to improve your knowledge of the pelvic floor as well as the practical aspect that will leave you feeling more confident in your pelvic floor within the time of the course.

For one to one advice and tools on improving pelvic floor health you can meet Charlotte Fitzgerald at the Evergreen Health & Wellbeing Fayre on May 7th, at the Waltham Forest Community Hub. Grab your ticket now, on our Eventbrite page

Event Feedback

After the event is over, as an event planner it is very important to know just how well everything was received by the client and their guests.

One way to do this is to send out a satisfaction survey. There are online surveys on offer such as SurveyMonkey (www.surveymonkey.com), which offers a free basic service with easy to use tools and techniques.

The ultimate outcome of the survey will confirm that every detail was realised – that the client received a quality, professional, caring and well timed event which highlighted all their requirements.

The planner wants to know how well they have performed – and if every detail was considered, the response should be ‘very well indeed!’

Venue Search London

Whatever the event, preparations cannot begin until the venue has been found. And if you do not have a venue in mind, the search can be pretty daunting. Here are a few tips to help you find that perfect setting for your event:

Cost – how much are you willing to spend for this all important venue?

Location – the more you can narrow down where the event will take place, the better. If you focus your search on London, instead of say Southgate in London, then you will have quite a search on your hands!

Availability – hopefully you know the date, so make sure the space is available.

Requirements – Make a list of questions to ask the venue’s guest services. For example,

  • what is the maximum capacity (to accommodate your guests or clients)?
  • what level is it on? if it is not on the ground floor is there a lift available?
  • is car parking available?
  • is there access to the kitchen (for your own caterer)?
  • does it have a late licence so that you can party on into the wee hours?

Compromise – you may not get all the requirements you want under one roof, so make sure you know which ones you are willing to compromise on.

Happy searching..!
