PRENATAL & POSTPARTUM TRAINING
Prenatal Personal Training
A safe program that changes with you from Trimester 1 to delivery…
One of my passions is helping women continue training and feeling strong through pregnancy. I know that pregnancy, especially early on, can be a scary time where you aren’t sure what you can and can’t do and your number one priority is keeping your growing baby safe. There is a lot of variability between not only each pregnant women, but in the pregnancy itself. I have spent over 8 years working with women in all stages of pregnancy. I believe that women can help prevent issues such as severe diastasis and pelvic organ prolapse by learning great pressure management through exercise. I can implement safe and effective programs for every trimester, and help with common aches and pains that women experience as their body changes and grows. Birth is one of the biggest workouts you will ever do, and I believe staying strong through your pregnancy can help prepare you for it. You can feel confident that you and your baby are safe while working with me.
Postpartum Personal Training
Personal training with specific focus on the needs of a postpartum mother
Postpartum can be a challenging time. Many women feel an overwhelming pressure to get back into shape and lose the baby weight as soon as possible. This is ridiculous and can cause irreparable damage to a women’s body if you push yourself to do too much too soon. Your body has gone through a lot of change over the last nine months. You are sleep deprived and navigating a whole new schedule. It is important to get moving for not only your physical health, but also your mental health. However, setting realistic expectations is key. You need to prioritize healing and building core and pelvic floor strength. I can help you feel connected to your body again. I have gone through extensive training in postpartum corrective exercise in order to understand the changes that take place both on the surface and internally. I can safely get you back to moving the way you enjoy, all while teaching you how to care for your body and the changes it went through. As an added bonus, you don’t have to leave your little one behind. You are more than welcome to bring your baby with you to your session so that finding a sitter or timing a workout around breastfeeding is not an issue.
Postpartum Online 6 week program
A guided program to help you get moving again safely
Every pregnant mother knows that 6 week wait to be cleared by their doctor. For those of you who are active, that can seem like a lifetime. The good news is there is something you can do during that 6 week waiting period to help your body start to heal and feel like itself again. This is a delicate time where sleep deprivation, breastfeeding and hormones can make energy reserves low, mentally and physically. Instead of wasting that energy trying to figure out what to do, or worse, on exercises that don’t matter, let me guide you through a 6 week program that has been created specifically for this transitional time. My postpartum online program guides you week by week through breathing exercises, gentle stretches and simple muscles activation to start you on the path back to exercise. This program is meant to bridge the gap from birth to the gym, safely getting your body realigned and reconnecting you with your core and pelvic floor so you have a good foundation for larger movements when the time comes.
