Welcome to Sophie The Midwife PT

About me

Female Personal Trainer in Ashford, Kent | Antenatal and Postnatal Workouts

With over 10 years of experience as an NHS midwife and a mum myself, I understand the physical and mental challenges women face during pregnancy and postpartum. Many women struggle with aches, pains, and conditions that could be improved through proper exercise and nutrition, but a lack of guidance and confidence often holds them back. My mission is to empower women with safe, tailored workouts for every stage of pregnancy and postnatal recovery, helping them stay active, healthy, and confident.

As a postnatal personal trainer in Ashford, I offer customised fitness plans designed to improve physical and mental well-being. Workouts are family-friendly, with children welcome to join, removing childcare as a barrier to exercise. Whether it’s returning to running, weightlifting, or simply believing in your body again, I’m here to guide you through your fitness journey with care and expertise.
