Benefits of working with a Certified Pre - & Postnatal Coach

The topic of women training--strength training and cardio training, while pregnant or postpartum has been gaining light as we explore and find more evidence-based studies that support the idea.

What is a Certified Pre - & Postnatal Coach (CPPC)?

A CPPC is a coach who empowers women to make decisions that align with their values, desires, priorities, and individual situation. We coach women at their own pace using evidenced-based practices to ensure we deliver the highest quality of training and coaching for women and their little one(s). Evidence-based practice is the foundation of everything we do — using the best available research to inform smart, individualized decisions. Because pregnancy looks different for every woman. Different mindsets. Different goals. Different definitions of strong. We're here to help you move through pregnancy and postpartum with confidence, clarity, and a plan built around you.

What is our role in guiding women through pregnancy and postpartum?

Big changes are hard and more times than not require a lot of energy and time pregnant women and mothers do not have. This is where a CPPC can help bridge the gap in the health and fitness realm of pregnancy and postpartum and guide women through the stages of pregnancy and their new life to come. Our primary goal is to help you identify realistic and practical ways to make changes and improvements using techniques for you to become self-sufficient when you are on your own. We work with you, for you!

Benefits of working with a CPPC

1) A safe, supportive space built around you. We create an environment where women feel heard, respected, and empowered. That means providing the right information and guidance for your psychological and physical well-being, and truly listening to your needs so we can serve you better.

2) Bridging the gap between health and fitness. Pregnancy demands a lot — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Our mission is to help you make decisions that are worthwhile and beneficial for both you and your little one, so the energy you put in actually pays off.

3) Smart exercise modifications for every stage. Staying active before, during, and after pregnancy is encouraged — but as your body changes, certain exercises will need to be modified or avoided. This is where a CPPC becomes invaluable. Proper instruction and intentional modifications protect your body, improve quality of life, and support overall well-being. Emotional, psychological, and physical factors all play a role in how your body responds to exercise — and we account for all of them.

4) A plan that evolves with you. Your body, energy, and needs will shift week to week — sometimes day to day. We build programming that adapts in real time, whether that means scaling intensity, adjusting volume, or pivoting focus based on how you're feeling. No rigid templates. Just a plan that meets you where you are.

5) Postpartum recovery done right. The "fourth trimester" is often the most overlooked. We guide you through a thoughtful return to movement — rebuilding core and pelvic floor function, restoring strength, and respecting the timeline your body actually needs. No rushing, no comparison, no shortcuts.

A CPPC's Thoughts

Being a coach and trainer for more than a decade, experience and expertise have been my tools to ensure clients have not only reached their goals, but have learned something from me along the journey they can take with themselves. I believe in collaboration, and together we can achieve what may not be achieved alone. The lack of information and standards for women exercising while pregnant and postpartum can be confusing, as there are so many different and conflicting views that surround it. A CPPC is aware of the lack of information and false information, and cuts through it by using an evidence-based approach.

More Than Fit approaches Pre-& Postnatal Training with delicacy, understanding there are major changes going on within the body to accommodate for the little one. Assessments and evaluations will provide the trainer with enough information to make sure your needs, desires, and goals are being consistently met.
