About Ziggy:

Ziggy is a mother to three young children, and an experienced Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor with a demonstrated history of working in the health & wellness, and fitness industry in the UK and Hong Kong since 2015.

Prior to her first pregnancy in 2016, her main focus was on body composition, strength and conditioning and fat loss. After the birth of her first child, Ziggy’s passion turned towards true women’s wellness and pre-post-natal fitness. She is known for her fun parent and baby bonding classes in the form of babywearing workouts.

My goal in prenatal training is to prepare women for labour, childbirth and the postpartum period. Labour and childbirth are a physical, emotional, spiritual and mental event - through education and physical simulation, I help prepare mothers' minds and bodies for this event regardless of if it is a vaginal or abdominal (c-section) birth.

I don’t believe in “bouncing back” after you give birth. Sustainable, long term habits, and cultivating self love and compassion are the most important to me when supporting mothers.

After working with a plethora of clients, Ziggy is most passionate about helping pregnant women feel strong and comfortable throughout their pregnancies, and in the postnatal postnatal period, particularly those with abdominal separation or pelvic floor conditions.

Outside of the gym you'll find me spending the majority of my time with my three young children attending all of their various social engagements, or doing community work with lululemon as one of their Hong Kong Ambassdors!
