About Author“Hi there! Thanks for inviting me into your life during the amazing and important experience of expecting a baby. My life purpose is to better the world by changing the way babies are born. I truly believe birth matters, both for mom and baby, and I dedicate my professional life to empowering moms to take care of their health during pregnancy, enjoy birthing, recover post birth, and follow their instincts for mothering.
I have spent since 1998 working as a fitness professional and coach and since 2008 I have owned and directed a wellness center specializing in perinatal wellness, Fitness Integral, in Catalonia (Spain). Each year I have the pleasure of accompanying about 140 moms and babies in their journeys through prenatal, postpartum and mom & baby groups. My online and smart phone products are adaptations of the exact programs the offline local moms experience with me at the studio.
My education and experience in the field is broad and you can be assured that all of my products are a demonstration of my best work. I have a B.S. degree in Exercise Science and a Mph in Health Education. I travel the world studying with top professionals in the health, exercise, and perinatal fields. I am a Corrective Exercise Specialist, a Kinetic Chain Assessment Specialist, a Hypopresive Exercise Techniques Master Trainer, and I have completed various other courses including Perinatal Physical Therapy, Pilates, Perinatal Fitness (ICEA), Certified Personal Trainer (NASM), Doula (DONA), Prenatal Education (Bradley), Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT), etc.
Perhaps the most impactful part of my experience has been becoming a mom myself. My precious little girl, Leia, was born in March of 2010. I used my own prenatal program to prepare for birthing and had a magical empowering intense experience giving birth to her. I hope my prenatal programs can help more moms have such an amazing experience as well and allow more babies to be welcomed in to this world in a peaceful and respected birth.
Postpartum I followed my own Postnatal Body Fix program and regained my body just as I had hoped. Actually, I’d say I like my post-baby body even better than the pre-baby one. You can read about my recovery process at the community site if you’d like.
I hope to meet you soon in the community.
Thanks for choosing to be an In Shape Mom!
