This virtual fitness community is a labor of love and was born out of a deeply personal process.  My own path to pregnancy was long and winding.  It was quite often paved with frustration, confusion, disruption and grief.  Along the way, though, I felt called to lean into and learn from my trials in order to help others triumph.  As it turns out, some of the most challenging moments were – and continue to be – the greatest sources of fire that ignite my passion for educating, encouraging and empowering womxn at every stage of their journeys to motherhood.

Professionally, I’m a dance/movement therapist turned personal trainer and, most importantly, certified prenatal & postpartum fitness coach.  In the 7 years leading up to the launch of BodyWiseMama, I worked tirelessly with a diverse clientele of womxn with unique fertility, preconception, prenatal and postpartum health concerns.  I also consulted with physicians, labor and delivery nurses, physical therapists, yoga teachers, acupuncturists, sisters, relatives, friends and colleagues about best practices for preparing womxn for pregnancy, labor, childbirth and postpartum recovery.  These combined efforts built a solid foundation for the integrative fitness programs I’ve honed with live classes and one-on-one clients, and now offer online and on demand through BodyWiseMama.

My approach is holistic, creative and person-centered.  My intention is always to move you from wherever you are starting towards feeling grounded, strong, uplifted and empowered!  I believe that your body is amazingly wise and resilient.  I’m committed to using movement as medicine in order to enhance your mental, emotional and physical fitness.  I practice what I preach every day, and I’m honored to put this integrity to work for the BodyWiseMama community.  Thank you for being a part of it.  I’m so glad you’re here!
