“If you didn’t do it before you were pregnant, pregnancy is not the time to start.”❤️
In my recent conversation with Women Connected in Wisdom - hosted by Shannon Mitchell and Christine Gautreaux, we talked about safe exercise guidelines during pregnancy and one of the most important principles to keep in mind when moving your body during this time.
In general, pregnancy isn’t the moment to suddenly introduce high-intensity workouts your body hasn’t done before. But there are supportive exceptions - gentle practices like yoga can absolutely be a beautiful place to begin, helping you stay connected to your breath, your body, and your baby.

Watch this clip for a glimpse into the conversation, and you can catch the full episode on YouTube or listen on Apple Podcasts. 🤍

Happy International Women’s Day 💕
One of the greatest honors of my work is supporting women through every phase of life. From pregnancy, to postpartum, to the powerful (and often overlooked) transition of perimenopause and beyond.
We’re always evolving. Our bodies change, our hormones shift, our priorities grow and transform - and every chapter deserves support, strength, and community.
Women deserve to feel informed, empowered, and connected to their bodies at every stage. That’s the work I love most: supporting women across the lifespan. ✨

💕Here’s to supporting women in every season of life!
