Optimum Coaching - Cheri Sim

After pregnancy and recovering from a C-section, I didn’t recognise my body.

I thought I needed to eat less, restrict more, and push through exhaustion…

But what actually worked?
Eating better.

High-protein, nutrient-dense meals that fuel me, fill me, and help me tone up, while being a full-time mum, wife and business owner.

You don’t need to starve to see results, you just need the right approach.

👉 Follow for real, balanced food ideas and support on your journey.

💬 DM me “READY” if you want help starting yours.

People see the end result and think “she’s so lucky”- but luck had nothing to do with it.

Postpartum changes you.

You lose parts of yourself, and for a while it feels like you’ll never get her back. The routine you once had disappears, your body feels different, and the guilt creeps in every time you try to do something for you.

But here’s the truth ⬇️

I had to rebuild myself from scratch.

I showed up on days I was running on no sleep.
I worked on the voice in my head that told me I wasn’t enough.

I chose discipline over motivation, because motivation wasn’t showing up for me.

I faced the guilt around food, around exercise, around taking time away from my baby and I pushed through anyway.

I failed, restarted, failed again, but never gave up.

It wasn’t easy. But it was worth it because what I’ve gained is so much more than a “body transformation.”

I found me again.

So no, it’s not luck.

It’s consistency, healing, and choosing to put myself back on the list, day after day.

✨ If you’re ready to start finding yourself again after motherhood, drop me a message with the word READY and I’ll show you how to take your first step.

One day post-photoshoot and apparently I’ve swapped my Italian pizza for French patisserie 🤌😂

✨ The Complete Guide: How I Lost 30kg After Pregnancy Without Restriction or Guilt ✨

After pregnancy I felt like a stranger in my own body.
Zero core strength. Exhausted. Breathless doing the smallest things.
But I didn’t “bounce back.”
I rebuilt, slowly and consistently.

In 12 months I dropped 30kg, without starving myself, training 6x a week or giving up chocolate. 🍫

Here’s what actually worked:

💤 Rest & recovery (the most underrated tool).
🥗 Flexible nutrition (no more “good” vs “bad” foods).
🏋🏻 Short, structured workouts (3x a week, not 6).
⏳ Boundaries (protecting my energy + time).
🧠 Mindset (progress, not perfection).

This is the exact blueprint I used and now I help mums just like you do the same.

If you’re ready to rebuild your body and confidence (without the guilt, restriction, or gym obsession), comment MUM below and I’ll send you the details 💌

I honestly still feel 23 😂

I remember being so upset when I turned 25, thinking my life was basically over 👀

I actually used to despise my birthday.

Now I’m creeping up to 30 and my whole perspective has shifted. Instead of fearing the number, I see it as a reminder of how much I’ve grown, what I’ve overcome, and everything I’ve still got to look forward to.

A new age isn’t the end of something, it’s a chance to step into a new season with more confidence, self-awareness, and lessons under your belt.

Have you ever had a birthday that felt scary at the time, but now you look back and realise it was just the beginning of better things? 👀

After having a baby, one of the #1 things mums tell me is… ‘I just can’t shift this tummy overhang’

Here’s the truth:

❌ Crunches won’t fix it
❌ Starving yourself won’t fix it
❌ Ignoring your core recovery definitely won’t fix it

👉 What does work?

Smart, 20-minute workouts you can do from home, paired with breathing techniques and lifestyle tweaks that actually rebuild your core instead of breaking it down.

I’ve put together a step-by-step Post-Partum Body Toning Guide that shows you:

✅ The exact workout I’d do to flatten the tummy + overhang

✅ How to breathe and move safely (to protect your core)

✅ Nutrition + lifestyle tips that make results stick

If you’re ready to feel confident in your clothes again and rebuild your core the right way…
