Comprehensive Coaching for Mamas.
I'm a Mom.
I had my first child in 2003, and my most recent in 2013. I had three completely different birth experiences, including a midwife-attended home birth, an emergency c-section, and a medication-free birth center VBAC. I have learned how to manage and maintain my own fitness level, structural integrity, and sanity. Some of the best education I've had is in birthing, raising and loving these three amazing girls while running a business and handling life's daily messes and stresses. I'll show you what works for me, and help you find what works for you. And we'll laugh about it along the way.
I'm a Doula.
What's a doula? Check it out. Once you know you want one, consider me. I provide a little something special that most other doulas don't. I offer comprehensive health coaching through the pregnancy, can help you get enough exercise, and can even make food for you. I am currently exploring monitrice training as well, with graduation estimated in early 2016.
I'm a Pro.
On top of my personal experience, I have 7 years of hands-on work in the pre- and postnatal wellness fields; I have multiple training and nutrition certifications, I have done thousands of hours of research, and I have worked with hundreds of women just like you. All of this comes together to make me an ideal resource for personal training and health coaching before, during, and after pregnancy. I'll show you ways to use pregnancy to improve your overall wellness, which exercises to perform (and which to avoid), and how to restructure your body after baby is born. And much, much more.
You Deserve It.
With so many people and things competing for our time, guilt and distraction can get in the way of even our best efforts. I can help you find ways to incorporate healthy changes, get the whole family moving, and reinvigorate your attention to self in ways that make sense in your changing world. Remember to put your own mask on first, Mama. You'll better serve others when you serve yourself.
