Why choose me?
Experience. Education. Style.
Experience: Hey, I know there are loads of fitness instructors and programs out there to choose from. Few of them work almost exclusively with prenatal and postnatal clients, and fewer work with as many as I have. With over five hundred babies and nearly fifteen years of hands-on experience, I know what to look for to keep you strong and working optimally for long-term health and fitness.
Education: As faculty for The Center for Women’s Fitness, a background in education and teaching, and a strong connection with the Chicagoland Pelvic Floor Therapist community, I’m more versed in the common dysfunctions that occur with women’s bodies than most fitness instructors. You deserve specialized fitness during pregnancy, postpartum, and into menopause, and an instructor who has the extensive training to do it right.
Style: I love what I do, and my clients feel it. I’m communicative, caring, and good at putting people at ease. I’m going to say “Vagina” in class, so get ready for some honest talk about your body and its functions, and understand that knowledge is power. I’m also told I’m pretty funny, but I’ll let you be the judge. ;)
Virtual Classes
Prenatal Classes
Many places offer exercise during pregnancy; I offer exercise for pregnancy. 50 minute classes to move your body in ways that support your changing body, alleviate aches and pains, keep you strong while building critical neural connections that will improve your physical and mental fitness, prepare you for labor, delivery and a stronger postnatal recovery. Classes are capped at 8 people for optimal individual feedback.

Postnatal Classes
The fourth and fifth trimesters are critical times to reconnect with your body. The right intensity of exercise at the appropriate points will help ensure you feel stronger and more energized while also protecting you from injury or complications down the road. Supple is the new sexy! 50 minutes of quality time reconnecting to your bod, releasing tightness, correcting imbalances and getting your body, mind and heart cared for in ways that remind you moms need caring for too.
Classes are capped at 8 people. Clients will be assessed for diastasis recti and signs of pelvic floor dysfuction, and may be referred to Pelvic Floor Therapists. Babies welcome!
