Rebuild Your Core. Restore Your Confidence. Connect With Other Mums.
Early motherhood can feel beautiful, overwhelming, exhausting and transformative … sometimes in the same hour. At the Wellness Centre Wollongong, we offer both gentle, supportive exercise and education for mums returning to movement after birth, whether it’s your first baby or your fifth.
You are welcome with your baby or without, depending on what feels right.

Tips for Attending With Your Baby
You might find it useful to bring:
- A fed baby (if possible, but no pressure)
- A small blanket or pram
- A favourite toy or comforter
- Spare nappies and wipes
- Anything that helps you both feel relaxed
And remember, it’s okay if your baby fusses or needs to be held. We understand. Truly
We recommend arriving by 10:20am (or a little earlier) so you have plenty of time to settle in, find parking, and get comfortable, especially if it’s your first visit.
