What is EVEolution??

About 5 years ago, I had a dream to build an online course as a solution to the issues I was having as a personal trainer.

The issues that I had were threefold:

1.????Women entered into the program at different starting points or had different levels of body awareness, or learned at different speeds. This meant that it was difficult to make sure that they all got the essential information that they needed to be able to modify any exercise for their age/stage and of course, their individual needs.

2.????I was forever repeating myself with the skills that they needed... and I know that over time, I took shortcuts with delivering that information. And,

3.????Women were often overwhelmed with all the information and could only digest and incorporate a portion of what I was sharing with them.

An online course was a perfect solution – coupled with face to face coaching. They could learn at their own pace and when they were not simultaneously toddler wrangling. They could replay the steps that they needed to fully comprehend and embed this learning deep into their bones.

I also imagined that I could run mini boot camps or mini events whereas a group we focused just on one topic at a time. I imagined the conversation that would dominate as we worked out together, with women talking with each other about what they had learned. From a teachers’ perspective... this is the pinnacle of learning – when instead of the teacher telling the student, the students are sharing information with each other.

I just had one problem:

I had no idea how to create an online course!

Fast forward five years and I have now created over a dozen online courses with a number of organisations – Fitness Education Online, Central Queensland University , EAT Fitness (NZ) and of course COTA . I have had varying degrees of technical support and teams of professionals for me to learn from.

And then came the pandemic. My husband and I had a very serious conversation about how we going to use our time locked in. We knew that drifting from one day to the next, where we only had our jobs to punctuate our existence was not going to be good for our mental health. Mark committed to writing his business book that he had been talking about for years, and I committed to creating my online course for women – the one I had been planning for over 5 years... EVEolution?.

We both figured that we were saving money from not going to restaurants, theatres, traveling... all the things that we used to take our money and time – so to support us in our endeavors and ensure that they would actually happen – we both invested financially in the resources that we needed to make our projects happen.

EVEolution? was born.

The EVEolution? name is trademarked, the logo is beautifully designed by my graphic designer. I have hired a professional videographer, another graphic designer that has created all my notes, and a full-time Virtual Assistant to organise the back end and work with web developers and my digital agency to get all the techie stuff sorted.

EVEolution? is made up of 6 modules:

1.????Strong Foundations – all the basics... from what is your true core, to posture, diaphragmatic breathing to pelvic floor activation in isolation

2.????All about your bits! – this is all the stuff I am well known for! The leaking, the prolapse... all manner of pelvic floor dysfunction. As well as a cheat sheet to take to a pelvic health physiotherapist

3.????Matching with Movement – this is how you can take your pelvic floor contraction and add it to whatever level of exercise you love doing. These are all the lessons that I perfected, taught thousands of women, and franchised my mishfit? business on!

4.????Period! Periods! Periods! – If you are not matching your exercise with your menstrual cycle, then you are losing out my friend. But it does not stop there... what if you learned the secrets to optimising your creativity and your relationships in alignment with your menstrual cycle?

5.????Pregnancy + Postnatal – this uses the original footage I filmed all those years ago with my client Amy (also a GP) and shows how to assess for DRAM and what is the best exercise per trimester. I also have a couple of legends involved with this module – Amy Dawes from ABTA who talks about birth trauma. And Lauren Hewes from Tiny Ladder – talking about miscarriage and stillbirth. These are topics that are regularly swept under the rug... but information that is needed. Even if it has not affected you – you will be better equipped to help someone with whom this issue has touched.

6.????Marvellous Menopause –this module shows how to navigate exercise with peri-menopause and menopause, and has a fantastic interview with Dr. Fatima Khan – a HRT specialist. And the wonderful Nat and Lisa from Own Your Health Collective - menopause specialists who share their wisdom. This is called Marvellous Menopause because every care has been taken to show the opportunities that aging gives us – in all facets of our life.

Each module also has a We are Change Makers Lesson – these are practical strategies on how to implement learning into everyday life. Learning is really not useful unless it is embedded into our doing!

?EVEolution? - my proudest moment

Out of all the courses I have created (and there have been a few) EVEolution? is my proudest moment. I have always had an eye for detail and no expense has been spared to make this not only beautiful but engaging.
