Before the Kegel

the bit they didn't tell you

You've been doing your kegels - religiously...

Maybe you’ve been doing them for months. Maybe years. Maybe you did them religiously for a while, noticed nothing changing, and quietly gave up.

Maybe you’re still going – crossing your legs everytime you sneeze, every time you jump, every time you laigh a little too hard.

And somewhere along the way a thought crept in…

Is there even a point?

My pelvic floor is doomed

I really can’t see this getting better

You’re not being dramatic. You’re not weak. you’re not broken.

You were just given one ingredient and told to bake a cake!

Here's what nobody told you.

Kegels are not wrong. They absolutely have their place – I do them myself. But handed out without context, without explanation or follow up is only giving you part of the story.

Yes, kegels may have worked for you but for many it feels like the end of the road but I’m here to tell you it was never the end or even the beginning!

Your pelvic floor doesn’t working isolation. It’s connected to your breath, your posture, your nervous system, the muscles around your hips and pelvis, and the way you move through your daily life. All of it. Every single bit of it.

Treating your pelvic floor in isolation – just squeezing and hoping – is why so many people spend months getting nowhere.

It’s not your fault. You just needed the full picture.

Before the Kegel is a self paced mini course that gives you exactly that

You'll learn:

What a kegel is - the muscle, the movement, and why everyone recommends them
How your breath and your pelvic floor are deeply connected - and how to feel that connection for the first time
What a kegel should look and feel like - and the common mistakes that mean you might be working against yourself
The signs your pelvic floor might be tight - and why tight doesn't mean strong
The Release - the part of pelvic floor recovery that almost always gets missed in the doctors office
When to kegel, when to hold off, and how to know which camp you're in
Why seeing a pelvic floor physio is worth it - and how to advocate for yourself to get one
A daily practice, breathwork session and Release work to take away and make your own

Who It’s For

You’ll love Before the Kegel if you:

You've been doing kegels and seeing no improvement or symptoms are worse
You're not sure you're even doing them right
You've been told to just squeeze and no further explanation
You're waiting for a pelvic floor physio appointment and want to start moving forward now
You've quietly accepted that leaking or discomforst is just your life now
You're done with confusing or generic advice

Here are some of the results my clients have been getting…

Imagine finishing this mini course and finally thinking - ohhh THAT'S why

That moment when it all clicks

When you understand why kegels weren’t working. When you realise it wasn’t your fault, it wasn’t your body failing you, you were just missing key ingredients.

After Before the Kegel you’ll feel:

Informed: You’ll understand your pelvic floor – probably better than anyone has ever explained it to you. you’ll know what is happening, why it’s happening, and what your body actually needs.

Relieved: That quiet panic that things will never get better? It loosens. Because you can see a path forward.

Less pain: The release work alone can make a significant difference to how your body feels day to day. Sometimes the thing we needed most wasn’t more squeezing – it was letting go.

Confident: Confident to start moving forward. Confident to advocate for yourself with your GP or Physio. Confident that getting better is not just possible – it’s within reach.

Ready: Ready to take the next step – whatever that looks like for you.

I'm Gemma...

Hi I’m Gemma,

I hold a Masters degree in Sports Science and a corrective exercise specialist in pre & postnatal, menopause exercise and pelvic floor movement coaching.

I’ve taught pelvic floor education and movement for 15 years. But honestly? I keep seeing the same problem.

Women knowing something wasn’t right, going to the Doctor with an exercise that didn’t make sense. Their stories not listend to, their symptoms not taken on board.

Kegels given out like sweets time and time again. So, I created Before the Kegel to bridge the knowledge gap in what women needed and why the kegel wasn’t working for them.

I have suffered and recovered from my own pelvic pain after having my first child. Can you imagine, having to deal with not only being a first time mum, but my body felt broken.

I had trust in the medical system but felt let down by professionals who didn’t take my pain seriously. I felt angry, confused and was made to feel like a drama-queen. I had no idea what was wrong with me but was told I needed surgery. It turns out that surgery wasn’t the full answer to my recovery.

So that’s when I turned to Doctor Google and found other solutions. I took my recovery into my own hands and healed.

My obsession into Pelvic Floor Health has now become my passion, and I have trained with the top Pelvic Floor Physio’s, Movement Coach’s as I don’t want women to feel this is their life now, because that’s not true.

Your body is amazing and it can be healed so you can get your life back and start living again!

And I want to show you how. Rebuild your pelvic floor in the comfort of your own home and feel like you again!

You’re in knowledgeable, supportive hands.

This is not about fixing you.

You are not broken. your body is not broken. It has been doing it’s absolute best with the information it was given.

Before the Kegel is about giving you – finally – the rest of that information. The knowledge to understand what’s happening. The tools to move forward with confidence. And the reassurance that there is a path forward, whatever that looks like for you.

Even if surgery is part of your journey – this is still the right place to start. Movement and understanding are powerful at every stage.
