Pregnancy is a transformative journey that brings unique changes to your body each week. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy and mother, I understand the desire to maintain an active lifestyle while ensuring the safety of both you and your baby. My pregnancy exercise programs combine clinical expertise with real-world experience to help you stay strong, mobile, and confident throughout your pregnancy.

Individualized pregnancy training does more than just keep you active – it prepares your body for the continued demands of pregnancy, labor + delivery, and early motherhood. My evidence-based approach helps:

  • Maintain core strength and pelvic floor function

  • Reduce common pregnancy discomforts like SI joint pain and round ligament pain

  • Improve posture and body awareness as your center of gravity shifts

  • Build strength and optimize movement patterns for everyday activities like lifting and carrying loads

  • Boost energy levels and reduce fatigue

  • Prepare your body for labor and delivery

  • Create a foundation for postpartum recovery
