Credible Pre & Postnatal Qualifications

At Phoenix Strong Women, based in Asquith, NSW, our mission is to help mums feel amazing about themselves, both inside and out, through pre and postnatal fitness and fitness for mums. We emphasise the importance of taking "ME" time to reconnect with yourself and other mums sharing similar experiences.
Meli is passionate about educating mums on the changes their bodies undergo after childbirth. She stresses that while it may take time to safely return to pre-pregnancy activities, it’s crucial not to stop exercising. Instead, mums should focus on moving in a safe way that supports the postpartum process.
Meli observes, "Many mums push themselves hard to regain their pre-mum appearance, focusing solely on the outside. My mission is to educate and support them in becoming strong and healthy, not just physically, but mentally and spiritually as well."
Having a supportive community and engaging in regular movement can significantly reduce the risk of postnatal depression. As a dedicated women's personal trainer, Meli is committed to fostering a nurturing environment for the mums of Asquith, NSW, and surrounds to thrive.

Meli, a mum of two, has a rich background in dance and dance teaching, which fuelled her fascination with the human body and its capabilities. At 25, after stepping away from dancing, she wanted to stay connected to movement and began her fitness journey. She worked with a global educational fitness company, creating educational videos for fitness professionals and serving as a Master Trainer, teaching courses in several countries.
After becoming a mum and experiencing postnatal depression, Meli reflected, "How can I raise happy, strong kids if I'm not happy with myself?" This realisation led her to take time to reconnect with herself. She then advanced her education by obtaining qualifications in pre and postnatal fitness, focusing on fitness for mums.

My session with Meli a few weeks ago was very insightful. I have been incorporating many of the exercises I learned into my daily routines at home, especially the pelvic floor exercise which was very helpful to do. Meli explained all the different techniques very well and she corrected me as I needed. She is very approachable and easy to talk to, particularly regarding those more personal areas that most exercise classes avoid. The class was intense and very interesting to do and Meli was very clear explaining the different movements. I will definitely come back for more!

I’m happy to share my experience of the class we had with Meli in the park. During the session, we went through various exercises, making it really dynamic and interesting, that, also helped us stay focused in the class. The expertise and guidance she provided throughout the training session was amazing. She worked excellently with all of us, and her knowledge and ability on the matter are all but unmatched. Her persistence kept me focused and committed to the schedule. Spend time in the park sharing with other mums is a plus. The best way to exercise!

Training with Meli is fantastic. I started with one on one sessions but later I joined the group sessions. The classes are fun and enjoyable, every time different and challenging to keep us motivated. I would recommend her to everyone. She helped me to improve my fitness, correct my posture and she also gave me useful advice on how to take care of my body focusing on warm-up, exercises and stretching. She always ensures that my technique and posture is correct in order to avoid injuries. Thank you Meli for all your encourage and support!

Can’t rave enough about my sessions with Meli. I was feeling as though I needed more from my exercise routine but was also aware that My body wasn’t the same as it was from before baby number two. Meli offered challenging but enjoyable sessions which were safe. I would follow Meli anywhere to train with her. It is tough to feel comfortable in most exercise environments when you have to take your young children with you but Meli made me feel happy at all times. Meli showed flexibility and understanding with my 18 month old too, she loves Meli and enjoyed my sessions as much as I did. I can’t think of a better way than to start my mornings training outdoors in the park with Meli.

Meli helped me immensely postpartum. Helped me be more in tune with my body, and to return to my pre-baby weight within 6 months. It was such a load off my mind to be able to work out for the full hour without having to worry about bub, and know that she was in good hands with the on-site nanny. Super recommend Meli to help kick your butt into gear and motivate you and take some time out doing something for yourself. November 17, 2018

I’ve been training with Meli over the past few months, I’ve gotten stronger and fitter. I have enjoyed meeting other mums in the area. Thanks for everything Meli!
