My 10-week, online course called, the Postnatal Fitness Specialist Academy, is currently open for registration until Tuesday, April 23rd.
This program is for current and aspiring fitness and health professionals (and enthusiasts) who want to help moms return to effective exercise post-pregnancy, recover from C-section and vaginal births, treat core and pelvic floor dysfunction, and support them in motherhood.
I give this running mom a few things to consider during her runs and what she might do before and after running.
If you are a personal trainer, fitness instructor, or health professional that works, or wants to work with moms, you are working with postnatal populations.
Upgrade your coaching skills and strategies by becoming a Certified Postnatal Fitness Specialist in my 10-week online course that will educate you on diastasis recti, the pelvic floor, postpartum mental health, body image, strength training, exercise programming and more!
Registration is open now through Tuesday, April 23rd. The program will again close for at least 6 months.
