• Hello! I'm Gemma - creator of the West 6!

    How it all started.

    I’ve always been fit and strong—my primary school’s 800m record holder, a former GB gymnast, a dedicated gym-goer and runner. I’ve also been a Physiotherapist for nearly 20 years. Yet even with all that experience, I still had pelvic floor symptoms when I tried to run after having my first baby.

    I did everything “right”: I did my pelvic floor exercises, I waited three months before running, I returned gradually. But it still didn’t work. I still leaked.

    I refused to accept this as a “normal” part of having a baby. So I made it my mission not only to resolve my own symptoms, but to help other mums do the same. Because if I—a sports injury physio—struggled to return to my sport, what chance does everyone else have?

    My 'light-bulb moment'.

    As a Sports Injury Physiotherapist, I’d never send an athlete back to their sport without proper rehab—so why was I expecting that from my pelvic floor?

    Pregnancy and childbirth are incredibly tough on these muscles; they can get cut, and even tear. Yet we never treat them like any other muscle tear or muscle injury.   What other muscle would we ignore for six weeks and just hope it suddenly ‘bounces back’?. Injuries need care, structured and specific rehabilitation. That is when the West 6 was born. 

    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 don't give these things a second thought now. When I'm not on the go, I enjoy winding down to 'This is Us' or 'Grays Anatomy', 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 25:01. After baby number 2, I followed the West 6 and was able to get back to running fitter, faster and stronger than ever before. 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 and function, for exactly how these muscles need to work in daily life. My programme takes you from easy exercises to real-life strength—automatically. No guesswork. No stress. Just results.

      6 Levels:
      • Lying
      • Sitting
      • Standing
      • Movement
      • Load
      • Impact 

      Created by an Expert — and a Mum

      With nearly 20 years of clinical experience—and my own recovery journey—I’ve built a powerful, structured programme designed to help you finally say goodbye to a weak pelvic floor.

      You’ll build strength step by step: starting gently, progressing naturally, and training your pelvic floor the way real life demands. With 150 targeted exercises, delivered one at a time, you always know exactly what to do next.

      • 30 exercises to build your foundations (lying, sitting and standing)

      • 120 exercises to take you through the higher levels of real, lasting strength (movement, load and impact). 

      Move freely. Move fearlessly. Take back control.

       

      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 Programme Works

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

      • A personalised end point, based on your symptoms
      • Easy to follow, completing one exercise at a time
      • Automatic progression through each exercise — no guesswork
      • Built-in progress tracking, so you stay motivated and on track 

       

      Designed for real life

      Each session takes 2-3 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.
