The world stopped in 2020. Gyms closed. Streets emptied. Living rooms turned into makeshift offices, classrooms, and—if you were lucky—workout spaces. For many, it was a disruption. For one soon-to-be mother of two, it was a defining moment.
Pregnant and stuck at home, she found herself missing the active, moving life she used to take for granted—a life that now felt like it belonged to someone else, back in the “before kids” days. The uncertainty of the world pressed in, and navigating pregnancy during a global shutdown felt completely overwhelming. But instead of giving in to stillness and frustration, she made a choice: to find a new way forward, not just for herself, but for moms everywhere who were feeling the same struggle.
It didn’t happen overnight. It started as a quiet, persistent spark—a little voice inside insisting that becoming a mom shouldn’t mean losing touch with her strength, her confidence, or the deep connection to her own body that she had always cherished.
That spark led to certifications in Personal Training, Pre & Postnatal Fitness Specialization, and Prenatal Nutrition. It led to hours of study, deep dives into the science of the core and pelvic floor, and countless trial-and-error workouts in her own living room. Most of all, it led to a mission: to help mothers rebuild their strength—not just physically, but from the very center of who they are.
It All Starts at the Center
The revelation came early. Everything—balance, stability, posture, power—originates from the center. But here’s the truth: most new and expecting moms aren’t told that pregnancy and postpartum change how that center works. And if you ignore that? You feel it everywhere.
Back pain. Hip discomfort. A posture that feels “off.” Even the everyday motions—lifting a toddler, carrying a diaper bag, loading groceries—suddenly strain the body in ways they never did before.
Her approach didn’t start with flashy workouts or endless cardio. It started with understanding the body’s powerhouse: the diaphragm, transverse abdominis, pelvic floor, and low back. These deep core muscles are the silent team that keeps everything working smoothly. And when they’re disconnected or under-trained? The whole system struggles.
That’s why in every program she built; the first step wasn’t a squat or a push-up. It was core activation. It was teaching 360° breathing—an intentional way to connect breath to movement, activating the deep muscles that support both strength and recovery. It was about giving moms the tools to move with confidence again, from the inside out.
From One Mom’s Living Room to a Global Movement
It didn’t take long for word to spread. Friends told friends. A workout here, a breathing exercise there—and suddenly, women were reporting something unexpected: they were enjoying movement again. It wasn’t just “exercise” anymore. It was empowerment. It was a safe space to rediscover what their bodies could do.
Two signature programs were born from this momentum—each designed not from a template, but from lived experience and scientific precision.
Move Well Bump & Body Prenatal Strength Training That Grows with You
This is not a “keep up or drop out” kind of program. Bump & Body meets moms where they are—whether it’s week 8 or week 38. Over 37 weeks, trimester-specific workouts adjust and evolve, matching the body’s changes and needs.
The focus? Strength that serves you now and later. Core and pelvic floor support. Proper breathing mechanics. Functional movement patterns that make labor preparation, recovery, and daily life easier.
The program isn’t about chasing a number on the scale or clinging to pre-baby jeans. It’s about feeling capable. Lifting a toddler without wincing. Moving through the day with less fatigue. Trusting that your body is not fragile—it’s adaptable and powerful.
Mom Moves Postpartum Exercise Guide: Recovery and Strength That Respects Your Pace
Postpartum fitness isn’t about “getting your body back.” It’s about building the body you need for the life you’re living now. Mom Moves takes that philosophy and turns it into a 12-week, four-phase progression that starts exactly where new moms should: with breath and deep core healing.
It begins gently—small, targeted movements to reconnect the pelvic floor, activate the transverse abdominis, and rebuild foundational strength. Then it layers in more challenging full-body exercises, always with an emphasis on alignment and function.
By the end, moms aren’t just “working out.” They’re carrying car seats with ease. They’re playing on the floor without discomfort. They’re standing taller, breathing deeper, and feeling like the strongest version of themselves—inside and out.
What Sets This Approach Apart
The fitness world isn’t short on options. But for pre and postnatal moms, cookie-cutter workouts and one-size-fits-all plans can do more harm than good. This method stands out because it addresses the real needs of motherhood in three key ways:
1. Core & Pelvic Floor First
Every single session begins with connection—deep core activation, 360° breathing, and pelvic floor engagement. Because when the foundation is strong, the rest of the structure holds.
2. Training for Real Life
This isn’t about gym showmanship. It’s about being able to squat, hinge, push, pull, and carry without strain—movements that directly translate to the daily demands of motherhood.
3. Consistency Over Perfection
The “all or nothing” mentality doesn’t belong here. Ten minutes of movement is a victory. A breathing session during naptime counts. Progress is built on showing up in whatever way you can, not chasing an unrealistic ideal.
Why It Resonates with Moms Everywhere
Because it’s not just about muscles. It’s about reclaiming ownership of your body after one of the most transformative experiences of your life. It’s about letting go of the pressure to “bounce back” and instead focusing on building forward.
Moms in the programs talk about more than improved strength. They talk about better posture. Less pain. More energy. And perhaps most importantly—they talk about confidence.
Confidence to try new things. Confidence to say yes to adventures without worrying about whether their bodies can handle it. Confidence to look in the mirror and see someone strong, capable, and grounded.
From the Coach’s Perspective
Behind every program is a coach who gets it—not just professionally, but personally. She’s a wife and mom of three little ones, all under six. She knows what it’s like to be exhausted and still want to feel good in your own skin. She knows the chaos of balancing schedules, mealtimes, and tiny hands tugging at you while you squeeze in a workout.
Her degree in Communications and minor in Psychology give her an edge—not just in explaining the “how” of movement, but in understanding the mental and emotional layers that come with motherhood and body image. She doesn’t just train bodies; she supports the whole person.
The Bigger Picture
This isn’t a 12-week quick fix or a 37-week checklist. It’s the start of a lifelong relationship with your body—a partnership built on respect, knowledge, and adaptability.
For the expecting mom who’s nervous about staying active. For the new mom wondering if she’ll ever feel “herself” again. For the seasoned mom juggling it all and realizing her own needs keep getting pushed aside—these programs are a lifeline.
And it all started in a living room, in a moment when the world was telling everyone to sit still. One mom decided to stand up, take a deep breath, and move—with purpose, with science, and with heart.
Your Personal Invitation
The message is simple but powerful: Your body is not broken. It doesn’t need to be “fixed.” It needs to be supported, strengthened, and celebrated—through every season of motherhood.
Whether you’re growing a new life or caring for one, movement can be your anchor. It can help you carry more than just physical weight—it can carry you through the long days, the sleepless nights, and the moments when you need to feel grounded again.
With the right guidance, that movement doesn’t have to be intimidating. It can be as simple as a breath, as functional as a squat, and as transformative as believing—truly believing—that strength is already within you.
And that’s the heartbeat of this brand: Helping moms everywhere move well, move safely, and move from the center—because that’s where true strength begins.
