Mum and Dad's mental health matters. Physical health matters. Let's join the 2 and raise $ for PADA with the 25 ALIVE with Re.Fit challenge.
Nationwide
From pregnancy to a child's first year, the mental stress on both mother and father is immense. It is estimated 20% of parents will experience some sort of mental distress; Depression, anxiety, PTSD, psychosis, suicidal thoughts.
Jess, owner of Re.Fit Mum Coach, is 1 of those mothers. As a mum of 2, she experience(s) depression and anxiety on a daily basis. However, she is privileged in that she had easy access to support networks she could tap into at her lowest point. Many mothers and fathers do not have that ease due to barriers such as location, support, transport, cost, time or the perceived shame that accessing the resources may have.
Jess uses exercise and movement to manage her mental health stressors. She knows the benefits moving can have on mental wellbeing, That is why she trained as a personal trainer, specialising in pre/postnatal exercise. She is a passionate advocate for mothers wellness, both mental and physical.
And so, the "25 Alive with Re.Fit challenge" was created
