What I have learned from pregnancy and labor

➡ Mothers are not fragile, but they are also not invincible

➡ Strength training does work when it comes to supporting the changing pregnant body

➡ Knowledge is power when it comes to knowing your own body and how to support it

➡Returning to fitness after baby is hard, but having accountability and support helps with success

Today my clients

✅ Move during pregnancy with strength and ease

✅ Feel supported during labor using the knowledge they learned

✅ Confidently lift their babies and toddlers, worry-free

✅ Feel strong and capable running and jumping after kids

✅ Feel powerful and challenged during training sessions

“Labor was great. The skills karen taught me were in my mind whe whole time and helped so much throughout the entire day.”

and now it’s your turn

“I gave birth 8 weeks ago, squatted 105x5 today. thanks karen.”

“I always leave sessions feeling more confident, strong, and empowered in the season more and more ready for the next step of bringing this little guy into the world”

My process

Educate

I offer labor support and birth education during training sessions to take the guesswork and fear out of exercising during pregnancy. I am trained to develop a personalized workout for you to support your changing pregnant body.
support

We need support during the season that is pregnancy and postpartum. Through fitness you can develop confidence for labor in learning how to use movement as coping techniques and how to support labor through opening the pelvis.
build strength

Postpartum is forever. I offer guidance on how to re-enter fitness after baby and help you find your new normal. Feel good in your body again using strength and mobility.

Fitness and Self Care does not end when you become a mother.
