Sound Familiar?

If “engage your core” has always felt a little confusing... you're not alone.

Maybe you've been told to:

  • “Pull your belly button in.”
  • “Suck your stomach in.”
  • “Brace your core.”
  • “Zip everything up.”

...but no one has ever really explained what your core is doing - or how your breath and pelvic floor fit into the picture.

So let's get started and break it down together. 🤍

Let's Start With the Breath

Your Breath Is Part of Your Core.

Your diaphragm, pelvic floor and abdominal wall don't work in isolation - they're part of a coordinated system that helps you manage pressure as you breathe, move and lift.

Learning how that system works is where we're going to start. 🤍

Is This For Me?

This guide is
for you if...

  • You want to understand what “engage your core” actually means.
  • You tend to suck in, grip or create loads of tension when you're trying to use your core.
  • You want to understand how your breath, core and pelvic floor work together.
  • You want stronger foundations for the way you move, exercise and lift.
  • You're pregnant, postpartum, years beyond birth - or you've never had a baby at all.

Hey Lovely,
I'm Ruby.

I'm a Momma, certified Personal Trainer, former Scottish Weightlifting Champion and Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist.

I've spent 16 years in the fitness industry - from teaching pole dancing and running my own studios, to competing in and winning the Scottish Weightlifting Championship in 2022. Movement has always been my passion, and helping women feel strong and at home in their bodies has always been my purpose.

After having my baby in 2025, I found myself feeling completely disconnected from my body - navigating diastasis recti, prolapse and chronic low back pain. Despite everything I knew, I still felt lost. Working through my own recovery showed me just how much the foundations matter: how your breath, core and pelvic floor work together, and how you manage pressure.

I believe women deserve to understand their bodies - not just be handed a list of exercises and told to “engage their core.”

Pregnancy and postpartum will always be a huge part of my work - but these foundations aren't only for mothers. They're for every woman who wants to understand her body, move with confidence and build strength from there. 🤍
