postpartum health coaching

energy | strength | confidence

postpartum fatigue

you love your baby, you're grateful, but...

you’re tired... not just on the surface... a deep aching sort of tired

your mood feels more erratic than you expected

• you’re running on caffeine and adrenaline, then
crashing

• your body doesn’t feel like yours — core, pelvic floor, aches, niggles & you keep thinking “when do I feel normal again?”
we know that you want to be your best self for your baby, your body just needs the right inputs

you don't needing 'fixing', you need rebuilding

"within 8 weeks, the results were undeniable: I went from daily pain meds & being bedridden during cycles to only needing to take 2 paracetamol. I lost 2 stone, gained energy & could fully care for my son. Jake’s approach made every step achievable. He challenged me to dig deep, provided solutions that worked & genuinely transformed my health & confidence."

the postpartum recovery you deserve

... we highly recommend doing this together!

"I am able to get up early in the morning and crack on with my day, and maintain that energy throughout the day, which I never thought was possible! Which is a game changer when it comes to having a young baby. I have lost a total of 16kg which feels truly amazing."

what clients say about Built for Life postnatal coaching

My partner & I started working with Jake to make individual & shared life changes. I was 6 months postpartum & my Endometriosis symptoms had returned with a vengeance. After years of monthly hospital visits, being put into chemical menopause, learning to self-catheterise & being told the next step was a hysterectomy! I was desperate for a solution that didn’t dominate my life. I felt let down by the medical system.

When Jake said, “I think I can help you,” I was skeptical—it wasn’t the first time I’d heard that. But within 8 weeks, the results were undeniable: I went from daily pain meds & being bedridden during cycles to only needing to take 2 paracetamol. I lost 2 stone, gained energy & could fully care for my son.

Jake’s approach made every step achievable. He challenged me to dig deep, provided solutions that worked & genuinely transformed my health & confidence. I couldn’t think of a better community in which to raise our son than the Whole Life Health TRIBE. Best decision ever
Hannah
My partner and I completed the 12 week mentorship with Jake and we can both honestly say it has been the best investment in ourselves we have made for our young family.

Before the course I suffered with bad brain fog, and low energy throughout the day, finding myself reaching for sugary snacks to keep me going.

I can honestly say that’s totally eliminated now. I am able to get up early in the morning and crack on with my day, and maintain that energy throughout the day, which I never thought was possible! Which is a game changer when it comes to having a young baby.

I have managed to lose a total of 16kgs (2stone 7oz) within the 12 Week period which feels truly amazing - I am the most confident I have been in my body for a long time.

Jake as a coach is amazing. His teaching skills and knowledge is second to none. If you are wondering whether or not to join, take it from me it will be the best thing you ever do!

our approach

Postnatal recovery shouldn’t be a DIY project you squeeze in between feeds and broken sleep. Our postpartum coaching is rooted in human evolutionary biology and biochemistry; a practical, primal-ancestral lens that asks: what does a postnatal body actually need to feel safe, fuelled, and strong again?

From there, we focus on the levers that change how you feel: stable energy (without living on caffeine and snacks), strength that rebuilds you from the foundations up, nervous system regulation, and simple routines that reduce friction at home. We only offer personalised 1:1 coaching (or 1:2 with your partner), so the plan fits your real life: not an ideal week that only exists on Instagram.

We work with symptoms and patterns, not labels: fatigue, brain fog, cravings, disrupted sleep, pelvic floor/core recovery, aches, gut disruption, and that sense of being “out of alignment”. We don’t diagnose or treat medical conditions  and if anything needs clinical input, we’ll encourage you to get the right support while we keep helping you build the habits and home environment that make recovery and resilience the default pathway.
