Your life, your body, your way

Pregnancy can bring up fears, insecurities, and feeling uncomfortable or awful in your body. During this stage of life, we focus on appropriate, safe, and realistic training practices for each trimester.

Pregnancy and birth changes a woman's body dramatically. How soon you return to exercise varies for each woman. We begin after you have been cleared by your health provider and in some cases, not returning to exercise until being evaluated by a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist. We focus on regaining strength, stamina, and preparing for higher levels of activity.

Women's bodies experience more change over time, respond to environments differently, women carry their power and strength differently, women's hormones fluctuate more, and women recover differently than men. We focus on training strategies that work with your physiology to increase your strength, increase your energy, improve your mood, and get you back to feeling good in your body.

Addresses any movement issues and corrects them through appropriate exercises to increase flexibility, strength, and control. If you have graduated from working with a physical therapist, we can build upon that work during your session.

Your food choices support or inhibit your fitness goals and overall health. To complicate matters, food choices are strongly influenced by enjoyment, taste and texture, cost, convenience, time, who shops, who cooks, and who you are feeding. We focus on letting go of food rules and food confusion, learning what to do, how to do it in real life, and get back to enjoying meals again

Long-lasting change involves embracing what is right for you and your goals. It is a process of building awareness, discovering ways to overcome your obstacles, accepting your limitations, rolling with challenges, and letting go of unrealistic expectations.
