When I started as a personal trainer at 19 years o

When I started as a personal trainer at 19 years old, I was still recovering from my own journey with an eating disorder. As I worked with more pregnant and postpartum clients, I noticed they were going through similar challenges as their bodies were changing dramatically.

It became clear to me that this journey to finding more comfort in my body was not ONLY about my personal growth, but also about the well-being of my clients and the future of my children.

This experience made me realize that the perinatal fitness industry needs to do better. We should be empowering individuals to appreciate the natural strength and worth within their bodies as they are. ❤️

Today, I stand proudly in a mid-sized body, encouraging both mothers and women to celebrate their unique selves. 🌟

Thank you for being here! Give me a ❤️ in the comments if you too are working on enjoying your body NOW
