As an experienced coach + athlete i thought i'd know how to coach myself...
Training during pregnancy and postpartum couldn’t be THAT different, right? We were MADE FOR THIS. I was driven by ego, but also ignorance to the wide variety of considerations. Honesty, I did not know what the considerations even were.
I was athletic, experienced and felt fine through my whole pregnancy. At that time, we had extremes...from don’t lift heavy, do yoga or walk, to “do what you’ve always done!” “train for birth!” and “be a badass.”
Of course I gravitated to, "do what you've always done!"
An emergency cesarean section and a significant diastasis opened my eyes to that fact that I couldn’t control everything, and that I had a LOT to learn about my body and training during these seasons as both an athlete and coach.
I spent the next several years learning, creating and testing as a coach (and personally), to pass on to others like me. I knew I wasn’t alone, and hundreds of messages and emails confirmed that this was in fact, a very misguided and overlooked population of people who NEEDED better info, guidance and training.
I've created programs and resources for athletes, coached many high level athletes through pregnancy and postpartum, but I knew the greatest impact would come from educating coaches and practitioners through evidenced based, yet easily applicable and creative coaching curriculum.
Coaches are the TRUE influencers, and can help guide athletes during this season in their lifetime of athleticism.
Have you Noticed?
Clients Who Pee During Workouts
Whether its a line out the bathroom door before a class workout or clients communicating symptoms with running, jumping, or heavy lifting.
Incontinence is a symptom that shouldn't be ignored by coaches or athletes. There is actually SO MUCH that can be done to help clients experiencing these symptoms.
Incontinence is a symptom that shouldn't be ignored by coaches or athletes. There is actually SO MUCH that can be done to help clients experiencing these symptoms.
Diastasis Recti
In recent years there has much attention and awareness around diastasis recti. This is the naturally separation of the abdominal muscles at the linea alba.
Increased awareness is good, but with that comes misinformation, obsession, and fear mongering.
When coaches see doming or coning of the abdomen they may judge that exercise as unsafe, but understanding diastasis is more than safe vs unsafe exercises.
Coning is just one source of feedback for the individual but there are many other variables that influence diastasis.
Women Leaving Your Gym During Their Pregnancy Or Postpartum Chapters
Pregnant and postpartum athletes want quality guidance and to feel supported during these chapters of their athleticism. When they don't get that, they leave.
Coaches and gym owners have a tremendous opportunity to retain customers and even grow their client base when they can support their pregnant + postpartum clients before, between, and beyond babies.

Confusion About How To Program Exercise For Pregnant + Postpartum Clients?
Beyond not programming ab exercises you've struggled to know what exercises your pregnant clients can do or not do.
Being "cleared" postpartum does not mean that you or a client are healed and ready to resume training normally.
