mentoree for the past four months. Of
her experience she says ‘When I started
as an Affiliate with Body Beyond Baby
and began coaching with Jen, I had
just one training session with five clients.
Now, I have four group sessions in two
locations, and two of these sessions are
full; plus I have a waiting list!’
Running a business on your own is not
easy, so working with Jen has proven to
be hugely advantageous. Mentorees
share in the knowledge and lessons that
Jen’s gained from her extensive time in
the industry. She knows what works and
what usually doesn’t!
‘Jen provided me with useful tools and
systems to grow my business,’ says
Magdalena. ‘She pushes me forward
and holds me accountable to what I
wish to achieve. My business has more
structure, I know my numbers and
working within a collaboration helps me
feel supported. It ensures I know I am
supporting my mums to the best of my
ability.’
Jen adds, ‘I truly believe the way we
look after women returning to exercise
after becoming mothers has to improve
and that their ongoing wellbeing starts
with better education and care during
and after their pregnancy. I believe
the key to this is collaboration across
industries; this includes health, medical
and fitness professionals all dedicated
and committed to working together. If I
can help to provide a landscape for this
and change the experience for more
and more mums, then I am doing what I
came here to do!’
