PILATES WITH DILAM
Strength is often overlooked in pregnancy and early parenthood — yet it’s one of the most important foundations you can build.
From preparing for birth to carrying your baby, feeding in awkward positions, and supporting recovery, strength underpins how you move, cope, and live each day. It’s not about aesthetics. It’s about capacity — in your body and in your life.
Pilates is one of the most effective ways to build and sustain that strength. It’s adaptable, intelligent, and designed to meet you exactly where you are – whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or years into parenting.
Classes Designed for Real Life
Our Pilates offering is grounded in the realities of parenthood – not ideal conditions or perfect routines.
Pregnancy Pilates with Relaxation
Supports you to connect with your changing body, prepare for labour, and build strength that carries you into birth and beyond.
Mum & Baby Postnatal Pilates
Focuses on posture, pelvic floor and abdominal strength, and gentle reconnection — with your baby close, welcome, and accounted for.
Pilates for Parents (Strength & Core)
A focused class designed to build functional strength and core stability for everyday life. Ideal if you want to feel stronger, more supported, and more capable in your body — without intensity or pressure.
Pilates for Parents
Strength and stability for every body, at any stage, with options that respect where you are right now.
1:1 Pilates
Personalised sessions designed around your body, your needs, and your goals — ideal for injury, recovery, or more tailored support.

They’re a way to support your body and your nervous system in a space that understands parenthood and doesn’t ask you to perform.
For every parent. At any stage.
Meet Your Instructors
With Do It Like A Mother, you’ll be guided by a small, trusted team.
Between us, Kelly and I bring years of experience supporting parents through pregnancy, postpartum, and the long arc of parenthood. We understand bodies that are changing, recovering, and carrying more than just physical load.
We don’t believe in pushing through, performing, or ignoring what your body is telling you. Our approach is grounded, responsive, and rooted in real life – supporting strength, confidence, and trust in your body at every stage.
This is movement led with care, clarity, and respect.
KELLY
Kelly brings a calm, supportive presence to every class, with a strong focus on safety, adaptability, and meeting people where they are.
She has extensive experience working with pregnant and postnatal bodies, and understands the nuances of movement during periods of change and recovery.
Kelly’s teaching style is thoughtful and reassuring, creating a space where parents can build strength and confidence at their own pace without comparison or judgement.
CHARLI
Charli leads Do It Like A Mother and brings a deeply considered, parent-centred approach to Pilates and movement.
Her work is grounded in the belief that parents deserve strength and support without pressure or perfection. Charli’s classes focus on functional strength, core stability, and reconnecting with your body in a way that feels steady, safe, and sustainable - supporting you to feel more capable in everyday life, not just in the studio.
Together, we create a space where you can move with confidence, feel supported, and stay connected to yourself – whatever stage of parenthood you’re in.
