Hi, I'm Joanie!
"The transformation through pregnancy, postpartum and menopause should never stop you from living the life you love."
Homeschool Mom, former professional dancer, island dweller, surfer in training, health coach, and specialized pre/postnatal/menopause specialist on a mission to make your transformation as strong as possible.
My Method
A Full Circle Approach To Your Well Being
I hate the term "method" but I get asked this question all the time. As a Pre & Postnatal Corrective Exercise Specialist, Diastasis and Core Consultant, Personal Trainer, Menopause Fitness Expert and Holistic Health Coach, I have devoted my career to making the wellness industry a safer, more educated place for women's transitioning bodies.
Originally a professional modern dancer, I changed course after the pregnancy and birth of my daughter in 2016. Throughout pregnancy, I wanted to maintain my current level of fitness without worry. When it came to postpartum, I wanted to make sure I healed fully and could get back to dancing + active lifestyle I loved. And now that I'm in my 40's I'm excited about supporting women gain clarity and confidence to navigate the changes that occur during menopause and beyond. It's all about aging gracefully!
That's all to say, my "method" is to focus on YOU! I don't believe in cookie cutter fitness solutions, especially during the transitions through pregnancy, postpartum and menopause. My clients have unlimited access to me because I want to know about your muscular imbalances, your aches & pains, your goals and DREAMS! Only then, can we create a workout and lifestyle regime that's going to get you to where you want to be!

Expert Guidance, Support & Coaching
Thriving through Pregnancy, Postpartum and Menopause can be an adventure and anyone who tells you otherwise, simply hasn't been there. While it's absolutely magical, it also brings its fair share of challenges. That's why having support – both physically and emotionally – is key, and that's where I come in as your trusted pre and postnatal corrective exercise coach and menopause expert.
PREGNANCY
Safety & Strength From An Expert Prenatal Specialist
With guidance from a recognized prenatal coach, you can access tailored pregnancy workouts that support you through each trimester, from bump to bub. My coaching isn't just about staying fit – it's about ensuring your safety and strength along the way. Say goodbye to common pregnancy discomforts like low back pain and pelvic girdle pain, fear around labor and delivery and hello to maintaining strength, mobility, flexibility, and confidence throughout your journey.
POSTPARTUM RECOVERY
A Specialized Postpartum Coach and Diastasis & Core Consultant
Once your baby arrives, the path to recovery and strength rebuilding can be daunting, confusing and challenging. Engaging with an expert postpartum coach provides a structured approach to postpartum workouts, ensuring you make a safe and complete postpartum recovery. With my help, you will not only recover your pre-pregnancy strength but also empower you to handle the new physical demands of parenthood.
MENOPAUSE
Exercises & Workouts to Support your Entire Journey Through Womanhood
My coaching is designed to be the ultimate support system for your entire perimenopause journey! My workouts are tailored to support a body that's been through an exciting life well lived and is now navigating the joys and challenges of menopause. Because I believe that your strength and health should never take a back seat as you navigate any of the natural transitions we go through as women.
It's an understatement to say that pregnancy, postpartum and menopause can feel overwhelming.
But fear not! With the right guidance, the path becomes much smoother and more empowering. You don't have to compromise your health and lifestyle just because you're expecting or raising a little one or on an absolute hormonal rollercoaster! In fact, this experience should be an accelerator, not a roadblock, to your well-being and vitality!
My goal is that you'll gain more than just fitness routines. You're welcomed into a community where expertise meets understanding. With access to this valuable knowledge, you can shape a healthy, safe, and strong path through every stage of womanhood.
Whether you're a first-time mom, seasoned parent, or facing the challenges of menopause, there's always something new to learn, and having the right coach by your side can make all the difference. I'm here to make sure you feel supported, educated, and empowered in every phase of this fantastic journey.
