Hi I'm
Milly
I am a 39 year old Mum of 3 and two Angel Babies, Wife and Physical Trainer... I'm going to cut to the chase and be as raw and real as I am….

Since 2007
I had…
2007
-
An emergency C-section baby at 37 weeks and a healthy premature baby boy.
2010
-
A miscarriage at 3 months
-
A house move and home renovation
-
A stillbirth at 8 months losing my son
-
Peri and postnatal trauma and depression
-
Grief associated with my losses
-
In constant fear of repeat stillbirths
-
Weekly hospital appointments (My file was the height of a shoe box)
2012-14
-
I was blessed with 2 Rainbow Babies via C-Section; 2 years apart
-
100% breastfeeding for seven months each time
-
Faced with redundancy
-
No family or friends around to support
-
Hubby working two full time jobs
The Consequences of this led to
-
2-4 hours sleep a night
-
Feeling alone, isolated and still grieving
-
Emotionally eating my pain away – poor food choices and eating very late.
-
Un-diagnosed postnatal depression
-
Battered Confidence
-
Short temper
-
No time to exercise or socialise
-
Never taking pics with family or posting pics of me on Facebook (felt ashamed)
-
Criticism from close family re: weight gain
-
Putting on almost half my body weight (4 stone)…..and feeling so low and miserable.
-
I no longer recognised myself, I had no identity and no self worth.
After 9 years with 3 beautiful kids, a caring husband and abusing my body…
it only clicked in April 2015 when I had planned to meet my gorgeous friend and couldn’t find anything that fits. Still squeezing into my stretchy maternity clothes, I saw the photos after and just cried the whole night.
-
Even with a Sport Science and Coaching background, the discipline to help myself amongst all the daily chores and childcare needs…
-
I took it up on me to research, experiment and learn new fitness and clean eating methods, spending time with supportive friends and doing what I love which is playing basketball again.
-
I managed to lose the fat and lift my spirit
-
Even after losing my dearest father in 2016 I didn’t give up on myself. I did plateau but I found ways to adapt and change my training and nutrition, increase my strength and fitness and feel 10 years younger…that’s right, I felt like I gained years and energy back.
My fitness, nutrition and mindfulness journey has taken me away from that dark place and I feel I am a better mum, wife, spirit and now trainer and online coach to help other mum's who have lost their identity and self-worth from pre and post pregnancy trauma.
I have been training women as a Personal and Group Fitness Trainer since 2017 with my 'Girls Got Goalz' program and I am now taking the platform online so I can serve more women and help grow their spirit and confidence . . . and fundamentally . . .
Improve health and Increase happiness
