ABOUT ME

My name is Nory, mother of two, a keen runner and very passionate about motivating people to be active.

In 2020 I started Jumps for Bumps & Beyond because many of my friends and relatives became pregnant and asked me what to do or not to do when it came to exercise. As a personal trainer with a physiotherapy background I felt I should be able to help, but my knowledge on this topic was minimal.

This made me realise that there were very few places you could go to as an expectant mum or during your postpartum period and this had to change. ​

Now 6 years later, I am extremely glad to say that there is more awareness,  information and help is available around this topic. Support and guidance from professionals like me are vital to motivate and encourage women to stay active during pregnancy and during the postpartum phase. 

As I mentioned before, I am a mother of two lovely children and throughout both my pregnancies I kept active and strong. I'm certain this has helped me to stay mobile during my pregnancies, recover sooner after giving birth and helped me to sustain a fitness level to work with beyond the initial recovery period.  

 

The foundation of what I do is based on a motto I love and worked with when I started this business is:

Inspire a generation for an active future

In my opinion this phrase is not just meant for our little ones, whom we try to encourage to follow in our active footsteps, but also for the current generation as a whole, as movement is the key to a healthier, happier and more fun filled life!

​

Throughout my career as a personal training, massage therapist and physiotherapist, I’ve seen many women struggling with physical problems in different pre and postnatal stages. However, I never realised that I could play a vital role to actually make a difference, not just for those whom I know personally, but for many more women and I'm extremely grateful for the role I can play.

​

I am a keen runner and love to spend time outdoors. I am very passionate about getting people active in some way, and I love to offer help where it is needed most.
