The best way to nurture your postnatal self is to take a self-nurturing, holistic approach and invest in yourself and your wellness.
The sooner you do this the sooner you reap the benefits!

Who am I and how can I help you?
Hi my name is Maria Hilliard and I am a mother to two wonderful daughters.
I know what it is like to have lived with multiple postnatal symptoms and to have concerns about how to safely rehabilitate my body, support my mental and emotional wellbeing, manage stress and gain body confidence all whilst trying to be a great mum with a busy schedule.
That is why I poured my heart and soul into creating this amazing holistic wellness programme for you.
So that you too can be empowered to make positive lifestyle changes, that are quick and easy to embed and that are bespoke and specific to your postnatal journey, so that you can maximise your potential for wellness and wellbeing.
By-the-way, I am also a Women Wellness Coach, Personal Trainer, Group Exercise Instructor, Pre/Postnatal specialist, Yoga Instructor, Bellydance Instructor and Nutritional therapist.
So you can rest assured that you are in good hands!

is for you!
It is so much easier to enjoy life, and take care of those you love when you are pouring from a full cup!
Self-nurturing is so important for us mums, we constantly give to others, do for others and often neglect ourselves-becoming the motherhood martyr who is suffering, worn out, spread too thin and who has lost her mojo.
​
​
Well it's time to change that narrative and do something wonderful for yourself. Because when you take care of yourself, life is so much better for you and everyone around you!
What mums are saying
Becky
Having Maria as my personal trainer has honestly been the best investment in myself that I could have ever made. She has been beside me every step of my journey with building my fitness and achieving my fitness and health goals, and been my cheerleader!
Whilst I had to take a break due to having my second child, Maria is back helping me with my new goals and wishes and easing me back into exercise again after having my daughter.
I have always been daunted by gyms and classes and so have rarely been as I have not been a sporty person. Maria has changed my view on what I can achieve in my body and I am so grateful.
I would highly recommend Maria to help you achieve your wellness and health goals!

Yes, You can do this!
Yes, You can commit to this programme even if you are time-limited, busy mum whose kids have overtaken the house. Because this programme will be crafted especially for you to fit into your life and around you and when you invest in restoring yourself the whole family benefits!
Yes, You can heal your body, be stronger than before and look fabulous, even if you’ve never set foot in a gym, haven’t worked out in years or literally ate for two during your pregnancy. Because I will start with you from where you are at- no judgement and progress you steadily and safely from there.
Yes, You can be that super-chilled, zen-filled, zoned out mama, even if stressed-out has become your default setting, you have a million and one things on your to-do list and your anxiety has you barking like a rabid dog one minute and sobbing like a baby the next.

Get the results that you desire
Would you rather go it alone and dabble with a few hit and miss postnatal wellness tips and workouts ?
Or would you rather take the transformational holistic approach where I can guide and support you through the process, get you results and positively transform your body, nutrition, mindset, and lifestyle, all in one neatly packaged personalised solution?
You can have all of that and transform your life, or you can go it alone and hope that you stumble across the right solutions
When you compare this combined programme to other postnatal Personal Training programmes there is truly nothing else out there that includes so many holistically integrated solutions, tools and strategies. It truly is a premium programme.
Even if you read 10 postnatal books and hired a regular personal trainer it would not get you these same resources and results and it would take a lot more time and trial an error, costing you time and causing frustration.
So, do yourself, and your family, a favour. Invest in yourself. Because we all know that when mums are healthy and happy the rest of the family is more likely to be too!

Get ready for the new improved you!
Imagine yourself 6 months from now and you have committed this programme, you wake up feeling positive about your day - looking forward to your awesome self-nurturing plan that you have refined. You start the day with some breathing to centre yourself-it's an automatic habit now and you instantly feel calm yet energised.
You do your favourite workout with a focus on moving meditation and finish feeling strong, supple and energised. You follow it up with a simple, delicious nutrient dense breakfast and see that you already have a nourishing healthy lunch and dinner batch prepared in the fridge-yes!-no more cooking required today.
You shower and take the time for some active meditation, using your favourite scented body soap that you gifted, yourself as part of your self-pampering routine. As you dry yourself off you notice how your body has become more sculpted and more shapely and your posture is strong, confident and free from the old aches and pains. Slipping on something that you love to wear you realise that you feel fabulous and you have been feeling this way for quite some time.
You skip out of the door well nourished, calm, centered, strong and capable, knowing that your body and mind are primed for the day. And no matter what the day brings you are well equipped to deal with it:
-
That extra-large smoothie won’t have you running for the nearest toilet because your pelvic floor can handle it- no more inconvenient leaks for you!
-
Those food shopping trips won't have you confused and overspending because you know exactly what you need to buy for your delicious nutrient dense meal menu.
-
That dress you want to wear fits so much better and you feel proud of your strong, sculpted body and can keep up with your kids because you are fit and mobile.
-
That queue that is a mile long won't have you cursing and huffing because you know how to make any moment a positive pause for mindfulness.
-
That irritating person who pushes your buttons won’t flip your switch because you know yourself and your stress triggers and have developed a more measured emotional response.
-
Those commitments that try to pull you in every direction won’t get a look in until you are ready and willing because you have learnt to prioritise your own needs, say no when you want to and schedule non-negotiable time for yourself.

FAQs
How does it work?
You book your FREE 15 minute Zoom transformation call via the website Booking page. You will then be prompted to complete 2 discovery forms so that I can learn more about you before we chat. During the call we will discuss your situation and wellness goals and determine whether I can help you. If we are a good fit then you will be invited to purchase the programme and then book your regular weekly Zoom session slot.
The programme is delivered entirely online, so once you purchase the programme you receive an email that will provide you with details and links to undergo in-depth screening and goal setting.
You will book in for a regular weekly Zoom session slot and be assigned weekly homework to ensure that you embed what you have learnt and create your own personal habits, practices and toolkit.
You will receive personalised support via email Mon-Fri.
​
I have just had my baby when can I start the programme?
​
You can start the wellness coaching component at any time during your postpartum journey. This may include gentle physically focused exercises/routines such as breathing, pelvic floor, myofascial stretch routines and restorative yoga, suitable for this early stage of postnatal recovery.
Once you have had your 6-8 postpartum check or 10 post cesarean section check and have been cleared for exercise by your medical practitioner then you can start an programme.
In order to start and exercise programme you are advised to wait until you have had your 6-8 postpartum check or 10 week post-cesarean section check and have been cleared for exercise by your medical practitioner.
​
I have just had my baby when can I start doing the exercise routines?
​
You are advised to wait until you have had your 6-8 postpartum check or 10 post cesarean section check and have been cleared for exercise by your medical practitioner. Once you have had that you can start phase 1-4 of the exercise routines.
Before then you can start Phase 0 which is a Rest and Recovery phase with specific breathing, pelvic floor and myofascial routines suitable for this early stage of postnatal recovery.
​
I gave birth 2, 5, 10 years ago. Is this programme suitable for me or am I too late?
​
Once you have been pregnant and given birth you will forever be considered postnatal. The after effects of pregnancy and birth can last for years and indeed a lifetime if you don't do anything to manage and rectify them. So you are never too late-this programme tackles symptoms and lifestyle changes from the 4th trimester and beyond so will be of help to you at any stage in your postnatal journey.
It is also a motherhood programme so even if your kids are now teenagers you will benefit from this bespoke approach.
​
What equipment do I need to be able to do the exercise routines?
​
The routines will be programmed for your specific circumstances, goals, and preferences. We will work closely together to create a programme that will be safe, effective and enjoyable for you so it may encorporate: Dynamic yoga, Restorative Yoga, Strength Training, Interval training, Barre, Myofascial release, walking etc.
So you may be required to acquire any of the following types of equipment to get you started:
-
Full size exercise or yoga mat
-
Resistance bands pack (light-medium-heavy)
-
Loop resistance bands pack (light-medium-heavy)
-
Pair of 1-3KG dumbbells
-
Pair of 5kg dumbbells or a 10kg kettlebell
These can be fixed weight or adjustable dumbbells. As you gain strength and endurance you may wish to increase the weights. You can ask your trainer about what equipment brands she recommends.
​
My programme is amazing and I know someone who would really benefit from what has been designed for me. Can I share the content with her?
​
I am overjoyed that you wish to empower another woman and are keen to share your programme. However, I am also keen to protect the investment of you, other mums who have purchased the programme and myself, as a small business owner.
It is also a programme built especially for you so someone else may not get the same results.
So, if you find you are getting great results from your programme then I would ask that you please do not share the content and instead recommend my services and encourage other mums to invest in their wellness by purchasing it themselves. It is also often the case that when someone invests their own money in a resource they are much more likely to use it and reap the benefits.
​
How do the online sessions work?
Once we have scheduled a regular timeslot for your sessions. I will send you a link to your Zoom sessions. You just need to click the link and be ready for your session at least 5 minutes before the start time. As we will have bi-weekly check-in emails we save time and so will usually spend only the first 5 minutes checking in (this can be longer if you prefer or have a specific issue to discuss).
We will then use the session to address your personal goals which may be a physical session/workout, nutrition/meal planning and preparation, breathing, stress management or discussing a topic that you would like to talk about.
​
How do I use the Mama Loves Wellness Online Course & Workbook?
​
You will be granted access to the course & workbook and have lifetime access and can peruse it at any time.
As part of your self-nurturing assignments you may be asked to watch certain videos or complete certain workbook tasks that particularly align with your goals. This will help you to apply the theory and embed the strategies that you learn into your everyday life and means that you receive coaching both during your live sessions and in-between.
Perusing the course in your own time may also help identify some aspects of your wellness and wellbeing that you want to work on in addition to your original goals.
​
How will I find the time to work through my programme?
​
Your programme is designed to be able to fit into your life, however if you have made the financial and energetic commitment to transform your life then I will also ask that you make the time commitment and schedule in at least 30 mins 5 days per week for movement, plus 30 minutes per day for wellness & wellbeing related activities & assignments. However this will vary depending upon your personal goals.
Remember that self-nurturing and wellness is all about making a stand for yourself and proritising your needs so you will need to assign some non-negotiable me-time to support your wellness and wellbeing.
​
Will I receive support during the programme?
​
Absolutely, I will be there every step of the way helping, supporting and motivating you. As soon as we commence your programme you will have unlimited email support Mon-Thurs (I generally don't work Fri, Sat, Sun) wherein you can ask me anything you need to to support your journey.
​
What happens once I finish the programme?
Once you finish the Postnatal programme you can choose to continue working with me via monthly membership for Mama Loves Wellness where you will be able to access the programme.
​
What if I purchase the programme and change my mind, can I return the programme and get a refund?
No, I do not offer refunds for Wellness Coaching & Personal Training for two reasons:
1. As soon as you submit your pre-screen/registration form I will start working on it to create an amazing bespoke service for you.
2. I only want you to purchase this programme if you are 100% eager and willing to commit to improving your welllness and wellbeing. I know that this programme can positively change your life but you will not experience that transformation if you do not commit to nurturing yourself.
