Pilates-Based Movement
Movement and breath can be powerful tools in relieving discomfort during pregnancy, enhancing labor and delivery, and healing after delivery.
I utilize my knowledge of Pilates, biomechanics, functional anatomy, and exercise science to provide evidence-based information about movement and fitness during and after pregnancy.
I use corrective exercises and tailored one-on-one sessions to address postural imbalances and relieve aches and pains that come along with the ever-changing pregnant body.
I assist women in reconnecting to their bodies postpartum, rebuilding core strength, and addressing post-delivery complications like diastasis recti or pelvic organ prolapse.
I utilize the breath as a fundamental tool for promoting not only mindfulness and presence, but also to restore postural balance and relieve muscle tension.
One-on-one sessions cover a variety of topics and are tailored to your specific body. Depending on where you are on your perinatal journey and your personal goals, movement sessions might include some combination of…
General guided fitness sessions using props you have at home;
A personalized list of safe, trimester-appropriate corrective exercises that can help you reach your perinatal fitness goals;
Assistance troubleshooting pregnancy muscle imbalances, aches, and discomforts;
Information on how your unique posture, movement, or breathing patterns could help or hinder healing from common postpartum dysfunctions like diastasis, prolapse, or stress incontinence;
Guidance on preparing the body for labor, along with movement ideas to use in the labor room.
