You don’t need more exercises.

The exercise itself is rarely the missing piece.

One of the most common questions I get is:

“What exercise do I do to fix this?”

The truth? That’s usually the wrong question.

There isn’t one magic exercise that fixes leaking, core weakness, back pain, pelvic heaviness, or that stubborn lower belly pooch.

What matters is how you perform every movement.

Can you breathe effectively?
Can you manage pressure?
Can you coordinate your deep core and pelvic floor?
Can you move in a way that supports your body’s anatomy instead of working against it?

These are the foundations I teach.

Because the secret isn’t finding the “perfect” exercise. It’s understanding the principles that allow your body to work the way it was designed to.

When you learn how to create stability, manage load, and transfer force efficiently, every exercise becomes more effective.

From picking up your baby to carrying groceries to lifting heavier in the gym.

I don’t just give you a list of exercises.

I teach you how to understand your body so you can stop chasing quick fixes and start rebuilding strength, confidence, and trust in what your body is capable of.

Because the goal isn’t just to get back to exercise.

The goal is to feel strong, supported, and confident in your body again.

If you’re pregnant or postpartum and thinking, “I know something still feels off, but I don’t know what to do next…” let’s talk about it.

Send me a message and tell me what you’re experiencing. We’ll figure out what your body needs to move forward.

Let’s clear something up real quick:
Pregnant women are not made of glass.

The other day a trainer at my gym told me they would never program squats or deadlifts for a pregnant client. Never?! Like… ever??
Respectfully: that’s fear, not evidence.

Pregnant women are not fragile.
They are literally growing organs, expanding blood volume, and sustaining another human while walking around like it’s normal. And you’re scared of a goblet squat?? Be serious.
Childbirth is not gentle.
It is not quiet.
It is not passive.
It requires strength, endurance, coordination, breath control, and mental grit. So yes, some of us are going to train for it.

Strength training (yes, including squats and deadlifts) when properly coached, scaled, and cleared by a medical provider can:
• Prepare your body for labor
• Help you push more effectively
• Support your spine as your belly grows
• Reduce back and hip pain
• Improve mood, energy, and confidence
• Benefit BOTH mom and baby

And before anyone says “but it’s unsafe” the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week, or 75 minutes of higher-intensity exercise, for most pregnant women.
They didn’t mean “only walking slowly and stretching.”

Let’s be clear:
This is not about ego lifting.
This is not about PRs.
This is not about ignoring red flags.
It is about trusting women’s bodies, respecting pregnancy as an athletic event, and training with intention instead of fear.
Pregnant women don’t need to be bubble wrapped.
They need education, autonomy, and coaches who understand that strong ≠ reckless.

Train the mom.
Support the baby.
Stop underestimating women. 💪🏽🔥

Staying strong through pregnancy starts with learning how to support your core🤍

I’m not slowing down my training.

I am being very intentional about how I support my core to have strength for childbirth, reduce my risk of severe DRA, and recover stronger postpartum💪🏽
