Empowering Mothers Webinar: A Guide to Ante/Post-Natal Health & Exercise

This webinar will emphasise the importance of exercise and physical activity in the early stages of life: during pregnancy and in the post-natal period. This will provide best practice recommendations and guidance from the most recent research for pregnant women, health care professionals, and caregivers alike! This webinar delves into the complexities involved with the importance of bespoke exercise and physical activity at various stages during pregnancy and in the postnatal period. 

This PD begins by providing an overview of recommendations and checkpoints with the client along their pregnancy journey through to setting the stage for establishing a healthy routine that aligns with the family. 

This webinar emphasises the multifaceted and multigenerational benefits of exercise and physical activity during pregnancy, spanning psychological and physiological domains. Attendees will gain insights into evidence-based research affirming the positive outcomes of incorporating meaningful exercise into their own recommendations. 

Presented by Dr Caitlin Fox-Harding

Dr Caitlin Fox-Harding is an early career researcher and academic working towards achieving an independent and self-sustaining career in exercise medicine. After having her PhD in Exercise and Sports Science conferred in October 2019 from the University of Sydney, Dr Fox-Harding began as a teaching-research scholar at Edith Cowan University in December 2019. Her doctoral research emphasised the need, and capacity, for young people with severe psychiatric disorders to engage in high intensity interval training as part of adjunct treatment. Her lifelong passion for the intersectionality of exercise and health stemmed from over 15-years of being an elite athlete (a former Australian Team member for the Olympic sport of fencing) along with her undergraduate education from Brown University (USA) in Public Health. Dr Fox-Harding has been privileged to be surrounded by experienced mentors within the fields of exercise medicine, oncology and mental health and continues to develop her research through her own supervision of PhD and master's by Research students.
