Bio
I am a prenatal/postpartum movement coach who helps train parents to be for birth and supports post partum clients on their recovery (special shout out to C-section parents!) and return to fitness + active pursuits.
Q&A
What drew you into working with parents-to-be?
I have two sons (7 years apart) who had drastically different births. I can see the lack of support given to birthing parents after their 6 week checkup and its impact on physical + emotional well being. It's time to create a better system for birth recovery to help folks navigate this major transition effectively.
What are your certifications and trainings?
I am a NASM-certified personal trainer with a specialization in corrective exercise. Additionally, I hold a cert from Pronatal FItness, which works directly on prenatal + postpartum training for active lifestyles. I am a member of Perinatal Partner + also am the co-facilitator of Chamber of Mothers, a national advocacy org for moms.
What locations or areas do you serve?
I work (IRL) primarily through NW Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs, and offer virtual training, which can be helpful early postpartum when It can be hard to get out. I try to make my classes, workshops and training opportunities as accessible as possible.
What's your top piece of advice for an expectant mom?
Create the support team you want as well as you can. Be firm in your boundaries and know your rights.
How do you answer the question: "I want your support but my partner feels like they'll be replaced"?
Your partner is a grown up and about to become a parent--there's plenty of work for them to do and they can manage their feelings with honest communication and conversation about splitting household duties. Having a neutral third party can also help navigate those tough convos about this enormous change for your family!
