How to replace lost blood and nutrients during postpartum

Life Ready Studio is an intimate, personal and supportive reformer pilates studio based in Caulfield North, Melbourne.

With only 7 reformers, the client experience feels like a personal session with constant instructor awareness, allowing for necessary adjustments throughout the class. Life Ready Studio was established by Teri, who wanted to create a space where clients could move in a group class but still be seen and adjusted where needed.

Teri thrives on helping and encouraging people to move confidently. She believes that creating a space that challenges clients whilst they move through all stages of life ( Pilates beginner, post injury, antenatal and postnatal as well as advanced Pilates enthusiasts) while feeling fully supported mentally and physically is the key to ultimate wellbeing.

Teri’s main passion is helping mothers and mothers-to-be feel strong and confident in their bodies before and after pregnancy. Having two boys (and a third baby on the way), Teri understands the importance of movement pre- and post-natally to aid the body during pregnancy, for birth, and, most importantly, for recovery. The studio provides support for mums-to-be throughout every trimester, adjusting movement to accommodate the changes in the body. The studio also provides mums and bubs classes so clients can move while having their baby next to them in the pram, on the mat or in the carrier. Each class helps clients regain their strength and confidence, while still allowing them to spend time with their baby and other like-minded mums.

About Untangled Living

I’m Ebony, the founder of Untangled Living and a mother supporting mothers. I combine my professional skills with my own lived experience to offer care that’s both practical and deeply understanding. My approach is grounded in genuine empathy, a shared sense of “I get it,” and creating a safe, welcoming space where women feel truly seen, heard, and cared for.

I offer trauma-informed care and hands-on support for women at every stage of the motherhood journey from conception through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. I understand that every family’s story is unique, and that recovery and growth don’t follow a neat timeline.

I am a qualified birth and postpartum doula and myotherapist, with specialised training in pre- and postnatal massage, scar therapy, and lymphatic drainage. I have also completed training in the Body Ready Method®, a functional movement approach designed to prepare the body for birth and support a smoother, more complete recovery postpartum. I hold a Diploma of Nutrition specialising in women’s health through all stages of motherhood, preparing for pregnancy, staying well during pregnancy, recovering after birth, and restoring balance from the depletion often experienced in motherhood. I am currently completing a Bachelor of Nursing, specialising in women’s health.

My services are designed to meet you exactly where you are:

• Pregnancy support – massage, education, and personalised resources to ease discomfort, reduce anxiety, and prepare your body and mind for birth.
• Birth preparation – tailored sessions that help you feel informed, confident, and empowered for whatever path your birth may take, including cesarean preparation.
• Postpartum care – hands-on healing for body and mind, scar therapy, lymphatic support, and recovery plans that honour your emotional and physical wellbeing.
• Support beyond the first year – guidance for mothers navigating toddlerhood, returning to work, hormonal changes, body image, burnout, and the ongoing balancing act of motherhood.

Motherhood can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Whether I’m easing physical tension, creating a recovery plan, or simply holding space for your story, my goal is to walk alongside you, helping you untangle the challenges, celebrate milestones, and feel anchored in your own strength.

Together, we can create space for your recovery, your growth, and the version of motherhood you want to live.
