About Spiritual Fitnesse:

“With Milly’s support and motivation, it will improve their health and that is a big part of getting pregnant again, I actually lost 2 stone and then conceived my son so it does work.” T. HASHMI

Spiritual Fitnesse was founded in August 2017 to offer Dance and Fitness classes locally. With initial funding from Sports England and Leeds City Council, it has since gone on to revitalise over 300 women and over 1,000 hours of fitnesse and happiness. It became apparent during the pandemic that women were suffering and trying to cope with postnatal loss in silence. So using her personal and work experience, Milly created the SAS program to cater for this need and bring women together online in a safe space so they could talk about loss, heal and Get Ready to Try Again. Milly is a dedicated consultant in Health and Weight Management. With a Sports Science Degree and over a decade of experience in Sports Coaching and Fitness Instruction for Women and Children. The program encourages healing and forgiveness post miscarriage and still birth trauma.. It offers a space to listen to and share precious memories in light of making new ones. There is a focus on establishing goals and desires and the implementation of a tailored practical plan to get participants motivated to make the lifestyle changes necessary to Get Ready to Try Again. Due to the nature of the subject, the program is hands-on and includes weekly 1:1 Coaching Sessions, Group Fitness and a Free Facebook Community where women who have experienced postnatal loss come together to listen and support each other through this life changing experience.

Helping mums when they feel helpless ✊🏼

The Girls Got Goalz plan has been attracting lots of amazing clients.

Especially this inspiring lady who has been trying really hard with her physical and mental wellness, and raising four amazing children, studying at college and so much more ❤️

Vicki Gilbert understands the value of being aligned in her wellness in order to serve and keep succeeding in life 🙏🏽

It truly is a small 🌎 world!’

When you train and are observed by and qualified lecturer who only happened to be my teaching assistant at my primary school 54 miles up north in Middlesbrough when I was a wee 8 year old kid!! 🤩

I know the universe brings people together magnetically and just reminds us of how much of an impact we can have on each other years later.....

Just is awe of the feedback Khaleeda sweetly explained in a video (in production).

Helping her after her hernia operation and getting her more physically active at 49. She even worked out from a chair, I love her sheer determination to improve her physical & mental well-being!

It’s never too late.. ✌🏽

𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲...... 💎 🙏🏽

Up until the first lockdown Iwona Stańczak has been coming to my sessions since 2017.

I can gladly say she has only missed maybe a handful of sessions due to holidays but her dedications and consistency makes me fill up with extreme happiness and pride.

She is now busting the online sessions and having people like Iwona around me makes me feel so overwhelmed and to keep providing even more value.

Now we are great friends and I appreciate her very much. 💎

I am forever grateful to have the opportunity to bring about health, happiness and wellness in person or even through zoom 💥

𝟲 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 anxiety and depression.
You find it hard enough to motivate yourself to exercise at the best of times.
When you feel down, anxious, stressed or have another mental health problem, it can prove even more difficult.
Especially true of depression and anxiety, which can leave you feeling trapped.
𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗯𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁.
Knowing the famous cliche that exercise will make you feel better, but your social anxiety means you can’t bear the thought of being seen at an exercise class or running through the park.
𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁?
1️⃣ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹
Set achievable goals and build up from there. Setting extravagant goals like working out for an hour every morning will only leave you more disappointed if you should fail.

2️⃣ 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁.
If depression or anxiety has you feeling tired and unmotivated all day long, try dancing to some music or simply going for a walk. Even a short, 15-minute walk can help clear your mind, improve your mood, and boost your energy level.

3️⃣ 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆.
Any activity that gets you moving counts. That could include throwing a Frisbee with a dog or friend, cycling, walking laps of a shopping mall or window shopping. Activities such as gardening or tackling a home improvement project can be great ways to start moving more, become more active and leave you with a sense of accomplishment.

4️⃣ 𝗕𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.
Wear clothing that’s comfortable and choose a setting that you find calming or energizing at home or a scenic park. Join a women only or over 50s class.

5️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳.
It always helps your motivation to promise yourself an extra treat for exercising. Reward yourself with a hot bubble bath after a workout, a delicious smoothie, or with an extra episode of your favorite TV show.

6️⃣ 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆.
Exercising with a friend or loved one, or even your kids, will not only make exercising more fun and enjoyable, it can also help motivate you to stick to a workout routine. You’ll also feel better than if you were exercising alone.

As you move and start to feel a little better, you’ll often boost your energy enough to exercise more vigorously—by walking further, breaking into a run, or adding a bike ride, for example.

What one mood boosting method above would help you the most?

Happiest Mother’s Day to all 🌹

I actually got emotional reading this ❤️

I had no idea doctors had told her she could not try again naturally. 😢

I could see the pain in her eyes and tried to switch her train on thought from no hope to anything is possible!!!

Her eldest son and my son are really close and now she has two more little soldiers - I actually feel like the proudest auntie ever!!

We are not related but I feel like by being there for other mums we are bonding and building a bigger family and community of hope energetically ❤️

𝟱 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝘆.

‘𝔸 𝕞𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕚𝕤 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕕𝕖𝕗𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕕 𝕓𝕪 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕟𝕦𝕞𝕓𝕖𝕣 𝕠𝕗 𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕝𝕕𝕣𝕖𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕔𝕒𝕟 𝕤𝕖𝕖, 𝕓𝕦𝕥 𝕓𝕪 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕝𝕠𝕧𝕖 𝕤𝕙𝕖 𝕙𝕠𝕝𝕕𝕤 𝕚𝕟 𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕙𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕥’.

– Franchesca Cox
From the moment you saw that positive pregnancy test, you loved your baby
you carried your precious little one with you.
You began imagining their future, and dreaming about who they would become, and planning your life together.
And, while the time you were pregnant or the time that you had with your baby was far too short, it is important to remember that you loved and still love your little one.
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.
Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and while many people are thinking of ideas to recognize their own mothers on Mother’s Day, there is an “invisible” group of grieving mothers for whom this day may be very painful.
Here are some ways you can invest your time to honour you and your angel/s.
1️⃣ 𝗔𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲:
There are many mums who may also be feeling similar feelings to you. Sharing kind words or doing a card exchange between angel mums via social media support groups and local support groups may counter some loneliness.
2️⃣ 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱’𝘀 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲:
Mention your child’s name to his/her siblings or call a relative or friend. Mention him/her in your prayers and/or write a lovely letter to your angel baby.
3️⃣ 𝗔𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿: Embrace this day and allow yourself to remember your baby/babies in a way that you feel comfortable with. You may light a candle, have quiet time, can journal or even bake a cake. Some mums also choose to raise money for a charity close to their heart.
4️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲:
Take time out on Mother’s Day for yourself. Do what brings you happiness. Pray. Go to church. Day drink and binge watch Netflix. Spend time with your family. Cook a lovely meal. Write in a journal. Release balloons in memory of your angel/s.
5️⃣ 𝗕𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀: If you are feeling quite vulnerable try to reduce your time on social media, you may be feeling bombarded with mothers day ads. Going to your local shopping centre can also be a little too much. Try and plan that day so you can protect your mental health and allow yourself to honour you and your angel/s.
Every mother grieves differently, allowing this outlet may help in your healing process.
What might you do differently on Mothers day after reading this?

𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀?

Do you recognise any of these symptoms?

🔸Night sweats and struggling to sleep.
🔸Low energy and procrastination.
🔸Crying and exhaustion
🔸Inability to function or concentrate
🔸Flair ups around the body
🔸Stomach in knots.
🔸On edge and feeling worthless
🔸Intrusive and racing thoughts
🔸Irritability and getting angry
🔸Shortness of breath
🔸Racing of the heart.
🔸OCD
🔸Sensitive to loud noise

Pre and or postnatal depression can be caused by a hormonal imbalance.
Other things that may impact this are:

🔸 Previous loss.
🔸Traumatic birth experience
🔸History of depression.
🔸Isolation, poor support.
🔸Stressful living conditions.
🔸Major life events.
🔸Unplanned pregnancy.
🔸Difficulty childhood experiences
🔸Poor self-esteem.
🔸Struggling with the pressure to get things done.
You may not experience some of these symptoms.
You may not even know if you are going through these anxious moments and feel confused and alone.
Don’t keep it to yourself, speak to your midwife/GP as soon as possible.
Try not to worry about what people will think of you, there is no shame or embarrassment.
Spotting it early can help avoid potential impact of the depression on your developing baby.
𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗮𝗿𝗲:

1️⃣ Stress reduction:
Trying to avoid unnecessary stress by taking on too much. I used to keep a rule of doing one new activity/chore a day. Be that shopping or going to the post office, avoiding cramming it all in.

2️⃣ Wellbeing boosting activities:
Yoga, journaling, meditation, mindfulness, relaxation techniques and very importantly eating healthy.

3️⃣ Quitting bad habits:
Smoking or drinking, too much caffeine or even binging on unhealthy snacks. Just by adapting your coping mechanisms to avoid the bad habit, you can change your mood and health for the long term for you and your future baby. Agencies are prepared to help quit these bad habits. See links in comments.
4️⃣ Speak to someone:
Talking to friends and family, accepting and asking for help. Trying to be a superhero when you are already working to capacity growing a baby isn’t a good strategy to be stress free.
5️⃣ Fresh air:
Going out and getting fresh air, moderate exercise whenever possible. The boost in oxygen will help in reducing anxiety.
6️⃣ Treatment:
Anti-depression medication should not be stopped abruptly anytime. Speak to your GP about the risks and benefits of continuing treatment.
7️⃣ Support groups:
Attending peer support groups and antenatal classes in your area. Pregnancy and Infant loss support groups are available now more than ever too. Contact your community mental health team via IAPT (The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies.
8️⃣ Social media support groups:
Groups are now more accessible to support pre and postnatal depression communities. Providing support and advice and a sense of community.

There are many group for healing and recovery pre and postnatal mental and physical health.

Hello 2026 👋
Thank you 2025 🙏

23/12/2025

𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗸 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗸?
This time of year, when people are rejoicing in their joy filled lives is it normal to feel triggered and want to crawl up and hide?
How much more can your heart take?
To be reminded of what they have, you don’t.
That they are expecting a bundle of joy.
You want to be happy for them but you can’t.
Feeling anxiety at seeing another announcement.
You want to press the unfollow button.
What was supposed to be your time to celebrate a growing family, but you have neither.
You imagined a busy and noisy home, with bottles and nappies to sort.
To be holding your baby in your sling whilst finishing last minute decorations.
It’s just too hard.
Is it normal to be jealous or hurt?
The little Christmas outfits I bought are redundant in the wardrobe.
No energy to address that right now.
After making progress you feel like you have gone back 15 steps
Numb, heartbroken and empty.
𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻; 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀, 𝗲𝗯𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝗺. - 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘆 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻
It’s a little too early, this is part of your grieving and healing process.
Many mums have managed to move on to get over this pain and start to regenerate feelings again
The hurt doesn’t ease, and you will feel this trigger pain become less impulsive.
Once you notice this, in time you will realise that you are slowly healing.
Feeling again.......
Able to celebrate in others happiness and announcements.
When you start the healing process, your body will start to respond differently.
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 ‘𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳’ 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳. - 𝗔𝘀𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗗. 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗵
Get to know your new self.
Learn and self-develop yourself, and become hyper aware of you and your purpose.
You may even feel that you are in a position to try again, and you may not.
But at least you have some insight and awareness.
You can seek support and help to achieve this.
To help you decide how you are feeling and to get some clarity and direction.
It is possible and your goals maybe closer than you ever thought.
When I ask some of my clients after they transformed their body and mind, about expecting to conceive?
They actually had forgotten about it and were focused on healing and recovery.
𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻. - 𝗝. 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲
Keep some doors open, that you thought were once closed.
Keep your chances and options wide open.
You have the freedom to decide.
