Bodies for Birth Philosophy & Structure:
I believe that exercise during pregnancy and postpartum can be appropriate for most women, but I also believe that it must be progressive and individualized. Ā There is no “one size fits all” prescription for exercise ever, but especially during pregnancy and postpartum!
With a nursing background at the foundation of my work, the opportunity for assessment is paramount. Ā An initial One-on-One consultation is always the best place to start!
