Moving with your baby
Movement is an amazing tool to help you through your prenatal and postpartum journey. A smart movement and strength practice helped me feel strong, energetic, and more like myself through two pregnancies. It also helped me more quickly get back to feeling like myself after my children were born. I am passionate about prenatal and postpartum movement and I love to share it with other moms and moms to be.
Danielle did her prenatal and postpartum movement training with Pronatal Fitness in 2019. Sessions are designed with a keen scientific understanding of the prenatal and postpartum body.
Prenatal Sessions
The pregnant female body can do a lot! However, it is important to know how to choose variations so that we can strengthen in a way that is safe and smart for mom and baby.
Session Goal: To empower you to move safely during your pregnancy, help you manage potential aches and pains of your changing body, stay strong during and after your pregnancy, and prepare the body and mind for labor.
What to expect:
Focus on keeping your core strong for easier recovery post-birth, which includes a focus on the pelvic floor.
Strengthening and stretching the body and mind to prepare you for labor and life with baby.
As you move through each trimester, goals will shift as your body shifts. Most importantly, we listen to what your body needs - that may be an energetic, strength building session one day and a calming, deep stretching session another.
Postpartum Sessions
Practice patience with yourself. Your world has just been turned upside down.
Session Goal: Help you begin to feel more like yourself at a pace that is managable for your new life with baby.
What to expect:
Core recovery program : We will build core awareness and muscles back methodically. This includes pelvic floor awareness and knowledge.
Movement programs and ideas that can be integrated into your busy life with baby
