Yes. An initial physiotherapy assessment is required before joining your first 5-week block.

This allows us to understand your birth and recovery, assess your current movement and strength, discuss any symptoms or concerns and develop an exercise program suited to your individual needs.

Your initial assessment is also required to claim your health fund rebate for the program, where applicable.

You can join from 6 weeks postpartum with written medical clearance from your GP or Obstetrician. We also highly recommend a pelvic floor assessment before starting, and we’re happy to refer you to a trusted local women’s health physio if needed!

Recovery after birth is different for every woman, whether you've had a vaginal or caesarean birth. Our 5-week postpartum program gives us the opportunity to get to know you, understand your goals and progressively tailor your exercises as your body recovers.

Rather than following a one-size-fits-all class, your exercises are individualised and progressed throughout the 5 weeks based on your recovery, symptoms, strength and confidence.

Whether your goal is returning to Reformer Pilates, the gym, running, HIIT or sport, or simply feeling stronger for the physical demands of motherhood, we'll help you build the foundations for the activities that matter most to you.

Over the 5 weeks, you'll receive progressive exercise, guidance and education to help you better understand your postpartum body and feel more confident about your next steps.

You can book your Initial Mums and Bubs Postpartum Assessment through our website—just scroll down to our Mums and Bubs section to find it!

If you're a previous prenatal client of Kaylana Wellness Collective, you'll still need to do a follow up postpartum assessment (40 mins) so we can reassess where you're at and tailor your program and exercises to your recovery.

Yes absolutely! Your little one is more than welcome in class. For safety reasons, the program is intended for babies who are not yet actively crawling. Our physio is more than happy to lend a hand as needed (with your okay, of course!).

Need to pause for a feed, cuddle, or nappy change? No problem! Our sessions are designed to be flexible and supportive, so you can take breaks as needed.

That’s exactly what we’re here for! We tailor exercises to support your recovery, ensuring they’re safe for conditions including abdominal separation (diastasis recti), pelvic floor strengthening, incontinence and safely managing prolapse.

We’ll adapt movements and work closely with your pelvic health physiotherapist and healthcare team to ensure the best care for you.

Yes! Our program is gentle and progressive, taking into account C-section recovery, scar healing, and core rehabilitation. We’ll guide you through safe movements to help you rebuild strength gradually.

Your program will be tailored specifically to you! Expect a mix of core rehab, mat based pilates, full-body strength, posture work, and mobility—all tailored to your postpartum body. We focus on functional strength to help with daily tasks like lifting your baby, feeding, and reducing aches and pains.

We understand that life happens. If you're unable to attend a class, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. While make-up classes are not guaranteed or standard, we'll do our best to accommodate you where availability allows. Please note, we do not offer pro rata pricing or refunds for missed classes.

Our classes run in 5-week blocks, with your place reserved for the duration of the program. To ensure consistency and fairness for all participants, blocks cannot be extended and any unused sessions cannot be carried over beyond the scheduled block.

Our Mums & Bubs classes are usually fully booked and often have a waitlist. Casual (pay-as-you-go) bookings are available subject to availability — please enquire for pricing.

If you need to cancel, we kindly ask for at least 24 hours' notice so we have the opportunity to offer your place to another mum on our waitlist. As places are limited, cancellations made within 24 hours will result in the class payment being forfeited.

At the end of your 5-week block, we’ll look at how you’re progressing and what you’d like to work towards next.

Depending on your goals, this might mean continuing with another Mums & Bubs block, progressing into our Postpartum Reformer classes, or working towards returning to activities such as running, strength training, HIIT or sport.

Your next step will be guided by your recovery, your goals and what feels right for your body.
