You deserve
love, nurture, and support
on this motherhood journey.
Because pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting are far from easy, aren’t they?
Career hiatuses. A new body. New identity. And, peeing when you laugh too hard (yep!)
And sometimes? It’s losing your identity in the middle of GIVING SO MUCH TO SO MANY.
The truth is, what you really want is to give your mind and body the same TLC you give your family, so you can feel like a renewed & reclaimed version of yourself.
You’re a whole person with a right to a HEALTH-FULL and JOY-FILLED LIFE.
How do I know? Because I’m a mom who feels just like you, trying to find more understanding of WHO I AM through this adventure.
I use fitness and movement that put my joy and well-being at the center of my healing.
I believe exercise, particularly strength training, is a “gateway” for moms because it can influence how you position your care as a value of the FAMILY.
“Thank you for making exercise more accessible. I respect the hell out of you for teaching me and allowing me to show up in my undies in the kitchen, while my babies are running around the house or watching TV.” – Devan
I’m Jessie Mundell, Head Coach here at JessieMundell.com, and I’m an exercise specialist in pregnancy and postpartum exercise, birth recovery, strength training and, yes, how to help you stop peeing when you sneeze.
(By the way, “TMI” isn’t in my vocabulary. It went out the window with my “perfect birth” and “perfect parent” rule book 8 years ago – when my eldest was born!)
I’ve devoted my career to studying and coaching prenatal and postnatal exercise, starting with a Bachelor’s degree in Health & Physical Education, and a Masters in Kinesiology.
I’m grateful to be a go-to support system for folks who want fitness to strengthen and heal, while building a powerfully positive body mindset that gives pregnant and postpartum people the tools to re-define one’s relationship with their body and their worth.
But, I didn’t always approach health and fitness this way.
When I first started working with parents 15+ years ago at a pre/postnatal gym, I fell into the same problematic philosophies that so many health and fitness coaches still do to this day.
I focused on helping parents “fix” their bodies, get back to their “pre-pregnancy size,” instead of empowering folks in the body they inhabited post-pregnancy.
A body that was just as CAPABLE now as it was before, but that simply needed a little extra love and support.
You’ve got one body to live in and it deserves support and care. At all sizes and shapes.
If you’re perinatal, I’m here to support you and your changing body with strength-building exercise in pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood.
If you’re a fellow coach, I’m here to guide you with evidence-based, current methodologies for improved results in training your perinatal & pelvic health clients.
“Your certification was the reason I started my specialization in pre & postnatal fitness and why I have a successful coaching business today! It gave me the knowledge and the confidence to coach moms in so many ways.” – Maria Scuba
