Prenatal and post-partum fitness is such a mine-field of misinformation and misguided advice. But as I discovered first-hand, it is such an important piece of maintaining your health and well-being! Strength training in particular should be talked about more.
This episode features a great conversation with my own trainer, Reena Parekh. She is a fitness coach, pre and postnatal specialist and speaker located in Toronto. Her passion lies in helping pregnant and postpartum people regain strength with a body neutral, non-diet approach to strength training and coaching.
She is an advocate for maternal mental health, and a proponent of change in the fitness space encouraging clients and community to push back against postpartum bounceback culture and normalize conversations around pelvic health and maternal mental health.

Green at Home is no longer an operating business, as its founder, Emma Rohmann, has gone back to her engineering roots in large-scale green building consulting. She is keeping her free resources, including the podcast and blog, live but you will find other links to resources are likely broken in these show notes.
Thanks for being here!
