Pregnancy and postpartum exercise with Lettie from Planet Mama 🏃‍♀️

I was delighted to welcome Lettie King to talk to me. Lettie is a Women’s Movement Coach and the Founder of PLANET MAMA, a movement hub for pre and postnatal women. She has almost a decade of experience helping individuals and groups maximise their health and wellness.

However her journey didn’t start here. After leaving Leeds University, she took her degree in History of Art to London and spent the first years of her career working in award winning advertising and marketing agencies.

Realising this was not her dream, fast forward to 2021 and she has carved her own successful career working in the health and fitness industry. Completing numerous trainings in Fitness and Yoga as well as a qualification in Sports and Remedial Massage. Before taking specialist training in pre and postnatal movement with Burrell Education and the Uma Dinsmore Tuli.

Her fascination with the power of the female body led to the birth of PLANET MAMA which supports women physically and mentally. Physically through fitness and yoga by helping them to feel comfortable and strong in their bodies. Mentally by breaking down taboos and educating new and expectant mums so they can feel empowered.
