TheĀ Ultimate in Mind-Body Preparation for an Empowered Pregnancy, Labor & Postpartum ExperienceĀ
Some of my favorite time spent with clients is in our one-on-one sessions.
This time is all about you.Ā About your needs, your concerns, your goals. It’s created around using your equipment in your own home–from body weight routines to weights and beyond.Ā I meet you where you are and apply a decade of specialized learning in pre- and postnatal fitness to our time together.
I make it a priority to always weave the best information regarding fitness during pregnancy and postpartum into our time together.Ā Along with this, I know that there’s a reason you are here. You’re training for the work of pregnancy, labor and motherhood!!Ā This means that our work is intentional. Ā It’s not just about fitness, it’s about preparing your body and Ā mind for the journey of motherhood.
We begin preparing you for postpartum recovery from our very first prenatal session together.
Once upon a time, I worked as a Registered Nurse and to this day, myĀ nursing backgroundĀ is at the foundation of my work and programming.Ā This, in combination with ongoing pre and postnatal fitness certifications as well as being a Certified Health & Wellness Coach, allows me to bringĀ specialized knowledge to individualize a program for you at any stage of fitness and pregnancy.
As a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, I use my skills as a Behavior Change Expert to help you reach new goals, to help you better understand your why, to tap into your strengths and values and to connect this all back to your pregnancy experience as we prepare for labor and explore throughout this transformative journey.
I aim for you to have a toolbox FULL of skills when you it comes time for labor and delivery.
I aim for you to have radiant confidence and strength, knowing that you prepared with intention for this life changing experience.
And, what are your goals?Ā Do you know yet?Ā Have you considered that you might be an active participant in labor and delivery?Ā Ā Have you considered that you don’t have to simply be a victim to the changes happening in your body throughout pregnancy?
We can explore these topics and so much more together, knowing that the goals will evolve as you get closer and closer to the big day–morphing and crystalizing along the way.
The “Your Expecting Fit Journey” package is called “Premier 1:1 Training” for good reason.
This service has been developed from a decade specializing in this population with the fusion of Health Coaching skills to help bring out the absolute best in each individual.
The Bodies for BirthĀ® methodology works.
It prepares, it strengthens, it empowers, it provides, it supports, it nourishes and will do the same for you.
This premier service is appropriate throughout your pregnancy journey for all levels of fitness and stages of pregnancy.
