— Postpartum Fitness —
A postpartum exercise routine is a vital component of your recovery and transition. Together we can get you on the path to feeling stronger and more confident than ever!
Over the course of approximately 9 months, you have grown, nourished, and given birth to a baby. This process requires an unbelievable amount of physical toll on the body.
“Through each trimester of my pregnancy and now postpartum, she has tailored to my exercise program to my fitness, goals, and availability. Working with her has made me feel so strong, not only to care for my baby (definitely more physically taxing than I thought it would be!) but also to get back into running, which I took a break from during pregnancy.” -Evelyn R
As you recover and transition in this new season of life, it is crucial to follow a properly structured training program to help you both heal and strengthen, all at once. Exercise programs can begin as early as six weeks postpartum, with clearance from your providers.
