Does this sound familiar?
Your body changed. Nobody gave you a map back.
Prolapse, post-hysterectomy changes and pelvic floor dysfunction can change how you move, what you trust yourself to do, and how you feel about yourself. You might recognise some of this:
In your body
- A heavy, dragging or bulging feeling that builds through the day
- Leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh, lift or run
- A core that feels absent or domed since surgery or birth — a tummy gap (diastasis) that won’t close
- Low back, hip or pelvic ache that keeps returning
In your confidence
- Not knowing which exercises are safe — so you stop doing any
- Avoiding lifting grandchildren, gardening, running or the gym
- Feeling disconnected, as if your body belongs to someone else
- Planning your day around toilets and tiredness
In how you feel
- Anxious that you’ll make it worse
- Quietly grieving the strong, capable woman you were
- Embarrassed to talk about it — even with your GP
- Told to ‘do your Kegels’ and left to get on with it
None of this means you’ve done something wrong. It means the system that supports you needs retraining — in the right order, by someone who understands it clinically.
Pelvic floor & diastasis recovery · why Kegels alone rarely work
Your pelvic floor is one part of a pressure system.
Your diaphragm, deep abdominals, back muscles and pelvic floor work together like a canister, managing the pressure every time you breathe, lift, cough or stand. Pregnancy, surgery, falling oestrogen and years of bracing disrupt that teamwork — so pressure pushes down onto tissues that are already under strain.
That’s why squeezing harder often doesn’t help. Lasting change comes from restoring the whole system — breath, pressure, deep core, hips and strength — which is exactly what my method is built to do.

The Purebody Method
Restore. Move. Reconnect.
Three pillars, in a deliberate order. Each one fixes something the others can’t — and together they address the root cause, not just the symptoms.
01
Restore
Breath, pressure & pelvic floor reconnection
Why it matters: if pressure keeps bearing down, no amount of strength work will stick. We first retrain how your diaphragm and pelvic floor move together, so heaviness eases and your deep core switches back on. This is the foundation most programmes skip.
You’ll feel: lighter, less aware of your pelvis, back in contact with muscles you thought had gone.
02
Move
Clinical Pilates & progressive strength
Why it matters: prolapse support and post-surgical recovery depend on strong hips, glutes, back and core carrying the load. Graded, clinically chosen exercise builds that support safely — and protects your muscle and bone as hormones change.
You’ll feel: capable again — lifting, walking, exercising without bracing for symptoms.
03
Reconnect
Confidence, body trust & nervous-system calm
Why it matters: fear of making things worse keeps muscles gripping and your world shrinking. With education, calm breathwork and one specialist who knows your history, you learn to trust your body’s signals again.
You’ll feel: like yourself — confident, informed and free to live fully.
A client story
“I initially came to Adele to improve my pelvic floor, but I've gained so much more than I expected. She's shown me that building strength goes far beyond Kegels. I've come away not only stronger, but much more informed and confident too. I always feel in safe hands.”
