Professional Background I am a certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist by Sarah Duvall's Core Exercise Solutions (CES). I have also obtained certification in Pre- & Postnatal Coaching from Girls Gone Strong Academy (GGS) and personal training and nutrition coaching from the local National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) in Arizona. I am based in Phoenix, Arizona. Approach to training My training style revolves around slow and controlled resistance training to maintain or regain strength, with a specific focus on pelvic floor stability, rehabilitation, and recovery. In terms of nutritional coaching, I aim to establish a foundation for improved health and nutrition while setting realistic expectations. I consider a client's past and present experiences, as well as their current circumstances, to ensure their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum needs are met optimally. Fitness Journey My journey began over ten years ago in my college gym, which sparked a drive to challenge myself and prioritize my long-term health. As I continued to progress in my workouts and nutrition, I realized the importance of listening to my body's signals. After personally experiencing restrictive eating, injuries, physical therapy, and even surgery, I gained a new perspective on training programs. I embraced slow and controlled movement, focused on foundational exercises, and prioritized the mind-body connection. These principles became the core of my personal training and nutrition coaching approach. My Goal: "I strive to create a space where women can build, maintain, and regain their strength through all phases of life and pregnancy. We focus on realistic expectations, creating long term, sustainable habits with nutrition, and allowing the body to adapt to its changing status with pregnancy and postpartum."
