Focuses of my training:

Functional Strength

Pregnancy is a transformative journey that requires strength, stability, and mindful movement. My approach to functional strength training focuses on preparing your body for the demands of pregnancy, birth, and motherhood - not on breaking records or pushing limits.

Pregnancy-Focused Training:

  • Build and maintain functional strength for daily activities

  • Learn proper movement patterns that support your changing body

  • Develop strength that translates to real-life tasks like carrying your baby

  • Focus on sustainable, safe movements that honor your body's changes

Postpartum Preparation:

  • Train specifically for the physical demands of motherhood

  • Build core stability and total body strength

  • Learn movements that prevent pain and discomfort

  • Develop confidence in your body's capabilities

My philosophy isn't about chasing heavy weights or intense workouts. Instead, we focus on purposeful movement that supports your pregnancy journey and prepares you for life with your little one. Through intelligent training, we'll keep you strong, capable, and confident - setting a foundation for a smoother postpartum recovery.

Joint Mobility & Strength

As your body adapts to pregnancy and postpartum changes, maintaining joint mobility and strength becomes crucial for comfort and function.

Benefits of Joint Mobility Work:

  • Maintains healthy range of motion as your body changes

  • Supports joints during pregnancy-related bodily changes

  • Prepares your body for labor and recovery

  • Enhances everyday movement and functionality

Personalized assessment and mobility exercises tailored to your stage of pregnancy or postpartum recovery.

Safe, controlled movements to maintain joint health.

Remember: While your body naturally becomes more flexible during pregnancy, targeted mobility work helps maintain stability and control.My evidence-based approach ensures you stay strong and mobile throughout your journey while protecting your joints.

Comprehensive Pelvic Health Support: Prenatal to Postpartum

During pregnancy, your body undergoes significant changes as hormones naturally loosen tissues and ligaments, while your growing belly shifts your center of gravity. I provide specialized support to help you maintain optimal pelvic positioning and function throughout your journey.

Prenatal Support:

  • Customized assessment and exercises to maintain ideal pelvic positioning and posture

  • Techniques to support proper pelvic floor function throughout pregnancy

  • Preparation for smoother postpartum recovery

Postpartum Restoration:

  • Expert guidance to regain optimal pelvic positioning

  • Targeted exercises to restore proper pelvic floor function

  • Personalized approach to rebuild strength and stability

While pelvic floor issues are common, they shouldn't be accepted as inevitable. Through proper guidance and targeted exercises, you can maintain and restore healthy pelvic function. My evidence-based approach helps you stay strong and comfortable throughout your pregnancy and postpartum journey.
