Pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood place specific stresses and demands on your body and, therefore, you need a specific way of training to help you manage them. Our Performance Training approach provides you with the strength and tools to successfully navigate every challenge along your motherhood journey, and emerge stronger than ever. Learn more about our prenatal and postpartum training below.
First, we’ll help you establish a solid foundation of neutral alignment, deep core activation (overlooked by most fitness programs), and proper movement mechanics to optimize your baby’s growth and development while minimizing common pregnancy pains. Then, we’ll help you safely and progressively build strength to mitigate the stresses of weight gain so you can continue to move with ease throughout your 9 months. As you near the end of your pregnancy, we’ll help you prepare for childbirth by teaching you specific labor strategies — from positional optimization, to pain management, to energy systems training. You will also learn how to expedite your postpartum recovery in those early days after delivery with an emphasis on alignment and core activation techniques that will help you recover faster and have more strength and energy to care for your little one.
Our first priority is helping you rebuild your core from the inside out. We’ll teach you a systematic, progressive core recovery protocol that is effective whether you had a vaginal or Cesarean delivery, or if you are confronting diastasis recti or pelvic floor dysfunction. This recovery protocol is effective whether you start it 6 weeks or 6 years (or more) postpartum. It is never too late to rebuild your core. In addition to core recovery, we’ll help you improve your alignment and movement quality, which are critical for a proper recovery. Then, we’ll help you gradually build strength to get you back to doing all the things you loved doing before pregnancy, or may want to start doing. We’ll also train you to perform all of the physical tasks of motherhood with a 25-30lb toddler (which will be here before you know it!).
