• Hello! I'm Gemma.

    I am an Ex-GB gymnast, proud 800m primary school champ, and mum of three (two boys and a step-daughter) and I have two jobs (three if you include this!). So I am always on the move - I never get to sit still.

    I've been a physiotherapist for nearly 20 years, and even then I experienced my own pelvic floor symptoms when I tried to run after having my first child.

    How it all started.

    After my first baby, I felt weak and wobbly, I didn't have the strength to close my car boot, and I couldn't run without leaking. I realised postnatal recovery was non-existent and pelvic floor exercises whilst sitting feeing were not enough. And the West 6 was born!

    My Mission.

    I made it my mission to not only resolve my own symptoms, but also to help other women feel confident, capable, and strong in their bodies. Every woman deserves to laugh, cough, sneeze, lift, run, and jump without symptoms—no matter how many children she’s had or how old she is.

    Mum Life.

    Being strong for my kids and being able to exercise was my biggest motivation. Now I am the Mum who will race my kids up climbing walls, jump at trampoline parks and lift up my 40kg 10 year old son, when he needs to touch the 'this is Anfield' sign at Liverpool football stadium. I am confident in my body, and don't give these things a second thought now. I do enjoy winding down to 'This is Us' or 'Grays Anatomy' when I get chance, and thankfully I have some lovely friends and a step daughter who love the spa as much as I do! 

    Running stronger.

    I have run since University, but never been able to beat my 5k PB of 25:0. After baby number 2, I followed the West 6 and was able to get back to running fitter, faster and stronger than ever before. It took me 10 months, but I did it, and more importantly I was symptom free and I finally smashed my lifelong goal of getting a sub 25 min 5k, in 23:42!

    • Why The West 6?

      The West 6 is a complete pelvic floor rehabilitation programme designed to build strength, function, and confidence - at any stage of life.

      6 Levels. 96 Exercises. Real Results.

      Recover your strength one exercise at a time. Start with gentle, unloaded movements and progress through six levels that prepare your pelvic floor for everything it needs to be able to do - laughing, coughing, sneezing, bending, lifting, running and jumping.  

      Created by an Expert — and a Mum

      You’ll follow a clear, structured path built on nearly 20 years of clinical experience — and shaped by my real-life recovery. It took me 10 months to complete this after my second baby— but it worked.

      Who It's For?

      • Building strength before, during, or after pregnancy
      • Those suffering from prolapse or incontinence
      • Anyone wanting to stay strong through peri-menopause and beyond
      • Pre- or post-surgery rehabilitation 
      • Women wanting to prevent symptoms later in life
      • Those ready to go beyond “just squeezing” and feel truly strong in their bodies

      Why This Program Works

      Research shows that pelvic floor exercises are most effective when paired with education, reminders, and progress tracking — and this is the only program that brings it all together. 

      • A personalised end point, based on your symptoms
      • One focused, guided exercise at a time — easy to follow
      • Automatic progression through each stage — no guesswork
      • Built-in progress tracking so you stay motivated and on course

      Combine this with a face to face assessment if you can for optimal results! 

      Designed for real life

      Each session takes under 3 minutes.
      Ideally you need to do it 3 times a day — simple, sustainable, effective.

      This isn’t a quick fix.
      It’s a long-term investment in your strength, confidence, and future.

      You’re worth the effort.
