Pre Natal Training
Exercise for a pregnant woman can have profound effects on her health and her baby’s experience in utero. We will be using exercises that are appropiate for each trimester and how you are feeling that day, keeping in mind that intensive exercise is not the optimal goal during this stage of your life. Our primary goal will be getting you to a place where you feel more relaxed and less symptomatic so you can focus on enjoying this incredible experience in your life!
Post Natal Training
Exercise after pregnancy: The journey to motherhood starts with getting back on your feet! We will be reconnecting your feet with core exercises and variations, working gently on your postural deviations. It is essential to new moms to take care of ourselves so we can take care of our children. And chances are, children may be the best motivation we ever had.
Pre/Post Natal exercise
After two pregnancies I’ve personally dealt with diastasis recti, lower crossed body syndrome, and bad posture, to name a few things. Helping expectant and new mothers to regain daily function & movement with confidence is a very fulfilling professional experience for me. It’s also one that requires specific knowledge & skills. As an American Council on Exercise (ACE) fitness specialist, we will also follow guidelines set forth by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) to create a program for your unique needs.

FAQ
What is a “text neck”? Can it be improved through exercise?
“Text neck”, is overuse syndrome, mainly caused by excessive leaning forward on the neck from looking down at any handheld mobile device. This postural deviation if not addressed can compromise the entire spinal structure. And yes it can be improved/prevented. As a certified post-orthopedic surgery specialist, we will work together to achieve postural reset and alignment.
Is it safe to exercise during pregnancy?
If you are healthy and your pregnancy is normal, it is safe to continue or start regular physical activity. According to ACOG, exercise does not increase your risk for miscarriage, low birth weight or early delivery. If your health care professional gives you the thumbs up to exercise, we can work on a program that is right for you.
Is it normal to pee when you cough, laugh, jump, run postpartum?
Post-baby incontinence may be common but you don’t need to live with it. You can overcome this dysfunction through physiotherapy, training with pre/post natal exercise specialist such as myself.
How soon can I get back to vigorous exercise program after orthopedic surgery?
This is a very commonly asked question that does not have a simple answer. We see relapses on injuries due to individuals wanting to rush through rehabilitation phase. They may feel that they can handle more stringent exercises, so they dive into intense exercise. Let’s not add you to the current 80% of post orthopedic relapse numbers.! Let’s train smart so your gains won’t diminish. For more information contact me.
What role does personal training & fitness (1/6 pillars of lifestyle medicine) play in lifestyle medicine management?
Personal training plays a crucial role in lifestyle medicine management by providing tailored exercise programs, behavioral support, risk assessment and monitoring, taking a holistic approach to health, and collaborating with healthcare professionals to promote overall wellbeing and disease prevention.
Is it Ok for a woman to train with heavy weights?
Yes, ! It is more than ok . One of the biggest misconceptions with weight training is that women should lift weight lighter to avoid “bulking up”. The truth is women can’t bulk up like man because they have different hormone profile.
Can repetitive ab exercises such as crunch give the “six pack “look?
Luckily no it doesn’t. I say luckily because that would be such a boring thing to be doing constantly. While exercising the muscles in the abdominal area may increase endurance or strength, it won’t burn off the fat in that area. Spot reduction doesn’t work, either for the abs or for any part of the body. If you have excessive fat stored in your body, you need to create caloric deficit through exercise and diet. For more information, feel free to contact me.
I’m over-weight. In fact my whole family is overweight. Is it in my DNA? Should I even try losing weight?
Good news ! It’s not all in your genes. According to a recent study conducted by Harvard School of Public Health (Obesity prevention Source), small portion of your genes are considered to be the cause. Changing your way of life can improve if not reverse the effects of your DNA. Are you ready to make the change with me?
