Congrats,
You’re a New Mom !
A new chapter. A new rhythm. A new kind of strong.
With evidence-based movement, mindful health coaching, and wholehearted support, we’ll help your body and mind find balance, strength, and ease in this season of change.
Welcome to the Fourth Trimester:
Where Recovery Becomes Renewal
Maybe what used to feel easy now feels uncertain.
Maybe your body doesn’t respond the same way, your energy ebbs and flows, or you’re not sure where to begin — only that you want to feel strong and supported again.
Perhaps your care team has encouraged gentle movement, core connection, or lifestyle changes to support your recovery. You understand why it matters: rebuilding strength, restoring pelvic floor and core function, supporting healthy blood pressure, steady energy, and balanced blood sugar. But knowing where to start — and how to do it safely — can feel overwhelming.
You might be weeks or months postpartum, returning after a cesarean, or simply navigating this new rhythm of motherhood while trying to take care of yourself, too. Time feels short, priorities shift constantly, and your body feels unfamiliar in ways no one warned you about.
This is where guidance matters.
You don’t need a generic program or another social media workout. You need care that meets you where you are, aligns with your provider’s recommendations, and helps you rebuild with confidence — step by step, breath by breath.
As a Perinatal Movement & Wellness Doula, I bring together corrective exercise, Reformer Pilates, yoga, functional strength, and health coaching to support your recovery from every angle — physical, emotional, and functional. My role is to help you reconnect with your body, restore your strength, and move forward with confidence in this new season of motherhood.
Your Health, Your Strength,
Your Season
Your body has done something extraordinary, and it deserves care that helps it recover, rebuild, and thrive.
As your Perinatal Movement & Wellness Doula, I bring together evidence-based movement, mindful breathwork, and personalized health coaching to support your body’s healing in the weeks and months after birth. My work complements your clinical care by focusing on what happens between appointments — the everyday movement, nourishment, and habits that help restore balance, support heart and metabolic health, and rebuild the foundation for lasting strength and wellness.
How I Support You Postpartum:
-
We begin with gentle, intentional movement designed to help you reconnect with your breath, core, and pelvic floor. Using a blend of corrective exercise, Reformer Pilates, yoga, and functional strength, you’ll rebuild stability and strength from the inside out — restoring posture, circulation, and confidence in how your body moves.
-
Postpartum isn’t linear. Your body, energy, and needs change from day to day — and your movement should, too. Each session is responsive and customized, balancing strength with recovery, so you can rebuild safely, sustainably, and without pressure. Some days it’s breath and mobility; other days, it’s power and progress. Every day, it’s about support.
-
I work in partnership with your clinical care team to complement their recommendations and help you bring them to life. Whether your provider suggests rebuilding core strength, improving blood pressure, or supporting blood sugar balance, I help you translate those goals into practical movement, mindful habits, and real-life routines that fit your world.
-
Healing isn’t just physical. Through personalized health coaching, we’ll focus on supporting your heart health, metabolic balance, and sustainable recovery. Together, we’ll create gentle, realistic habits around nourishment, rest, and stress that restore your energy and well-being — one step at a time.
-
You don’t have to do this alone. At The Juniper House, group classes and workshops offer a welcoming space to move, learn, and connect with other women in the same season of life. These gatherings blend movement, mindfulness, and meaningful conversation — reminding you that recovery is not just about rebuilding strength, but also about being seen, supported, and surrounded by community.
The Experience
Where science meets support, and recovery becomes resilience
Postpartum recovery is more than a checklist — it’s a full-body, whole-person transformation. Your physiology is shifting in extraordinary ways, and understanding those changes is the first step toward healing and strength that lasts.
As your Perinatal Movement & Wellness Doula, I combine my experience as a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Corrective Exercise Specialist, and Pre- and Postnatal Pilates and Yoga Instructor to support your recovery with precision, compassion, and adaptability. Together, we work with your body — not against it — honoring the science of this season while helping you feel grounded and capable in your day-to-day life.
The Science of Recovery
After birth, your body begins an intricate process of recalibration. Your heart and cardiovascular system adapt to new demands, while hormone levels shift dramatically, influencing everything from mood to metabolism. The core and pelvic floor require intentional retraining to restore stability and function, and your nervous system—the bridge between body and mind—needs time and care to return to balance after the intensity of pregnancy and birth.
These changes are normal — and they’re powerful. With the right support, they can become the foundation for lifelong strength and wellness.
Through Reformer Pilates, corrective movement, yoga, and functional strength training, I help you rebuild alignment, awareness, and control in a way that complements these physiological shifts. Paired with personalized health coaching, we also support your cardiometabolic health — supporting your body’s natural balance — from steady energy and blood sugar to healthy sleep habits, nourishment, and stress rhythms that help you feel grounded and well.
This is not about “getting back” to where you were; it’s about moving forward with awareness, strength, and connection. You’ll learn how to listen to your body, understand its signals, and build habits that help you feel vibrant and capable in this next chapter of motherhood.
Evidence-Based Support for a Healthier Postpartum
As your Perinatal Movement & Wellness Doula, I offer non-clinical, evidence-informed care that complements your healthcare provider’s recommendations.
My role is to help you put the guidance into action — through movement, breath, and wellness coaching designed for real life. Together, we turn medical advice into daily routines that feel doable, supportive, and sustainable.
Why It Matters: The Science Behind the Support
Decades of research show that intentional postpartum movement and lifestyle habits can transform both short- and long-term health for mothers. When we move thoughtfully, breathe with awareness, and nourish ourselves consistently, we create powerful ripple effects for recovery, strength, and lifelong wellness.
Here’s what the science tells us:
Early gentle movement supports faster healing.
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), most women with uncomplicated births can begin gentle core and pelvic floor activation within days after delivery — when guided safely and intentionally.Movement reduces the risk of postpartum depression.
Research shows that even light, regular exercise can significantly lower symptoms of anxiety and depression after birth by improving circulation, hormonal balance, and self-efficacy.Exercise supports hormone regulation and energy balance.
Regular, moderate movement helps smooth hormonal shifts, regulate sleep patterns, and improve mood and energy during the postpartum adjustment period.Reconnecting with the core and pelvic floor builds stability for motherhood.
Targeted training restores deep core strength, supports pelvic health, reduces back and hip pain, and builds confidence for lifting, carrying, and daily life.Long-term health protection.
Consistent postpartum exercise and healthy habits are linked to lower lifetime risks of diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease — empowering you to stay strong and vibrant through every season of motherhood.
My Approach
I take an evidence-based, person-centered approach that respects both the science and your lived experience.
Our sessions together blend movement, corrective exercise, Pilates, yoga, and health coaching to align with your care provider’s guidance while meeting your unique needs day to day.
We use technology to help see the full picture of your well-being — tracking metrics like sleep and heart rate variability, or using food journaling when needed — to make data-informed decisions about your training and recovery.
This is non-clinical support built on clinical awareness — care that bridges the gap between medical recommendations and daily life, helping you feel informed, empowered, and strong through every stage of pregnancy and beyond.
From Knowing to Living
Most women already know what they should be doing.
You’ve read the articles, downloaded the apps, and saved the workouts. You know you should be moving more, eating well, sleeping better, and managing stress — but knowing and doing are two very different things.
What’s missing isn’t more information. It’s integration.
It’s the how. It’s the steady, practical support that turns good intentions into daily habits, and evidence into real change.
That’s where I come in.
As your Perinatal Movement & Wellness Doula, I help you bridge the gap between what you know and what you live — combining movement, coaching, and mindful structure so that caring for yourself becomes part of your rhythm, not another thing on your list.
Because when you feel supported, informed, and capable, you don’t just get through pregnancy — you thrive in it.
If you’re ready to move from knowing to living, I’d love to help you feel strong, supported, and confident in this season.

As your Perinatal Movement & Wellness Doula, I bring together the science of postpartum fitness with the compassion and adaptability of doula-informed care.
