Summary

This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Jemimah - mother of three, passionate advocate for intentional movement, and the founder of Moved, a beautiful studio based in Armidale, Northern NSW. Jemimah isn’t just a guest - she’s also a listener of the podcast, and I absolutely love when our community becomes part of the conversation.Jemimah’s story is deeply rooted in themes that will resonate with so many of you: consent, autonomy, trusting your intuition, and the powerful reminder that your voice matters—especially in birth spaces. She takes us through her three unique birth journeys and shares how the book Birth Skills by Juju Sundin helped equip her with movement tools that supported her through labor—from gripping a hairbrush for sensory focus to using her voice as a powerful release.But Jemimah’s story doesn’t stop at birth. Her journey from teaching aerobic-style classes to founding Moved was inspired by biomechanist Katie Bowman’s philosophy that movement is not just exercise - it’s nourishment. In this episode, Jemimah shares how she helps women integrate quality, functional movement into their everyday lives and why it matters so deeply—especially in postpartum recovery. We also explore the quieter, more tender sides of motherhood: what it means to surrender, to hold boundaries, and to advocate for yourself in a system that often makes that difficult. One of the most powerful messages Jemimah shares is this: you are allowed to say “no thank you.” That’s your right. Movement is nourishment. Your body, your choices.Stay tuned to the end for a beautiful offering: a special online postnatal movement class available to all listeners—including those who have experienced loss. It’s a gentle, welcoming invitation to reconnect with your body, wherever you are in your journey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
