May 7, 2026 - Our baby girl arrived 🎀🤍!

Hard to believe it’s been one week since our baby girl came into this world. We couldn’t be more smitten and in love 💗!

Soaking up every second with her and looking forward to this next journey!

I’m 39 weeks pregnant 🤰🏻 ….and throughout this journey, one of the things I’ve loved most especially as a therapist is diving into research. Evidence based, up to date findings!

And here’s what I’ve discovered: Recent PubMed research shows that strength training during pregnancy, even at moderate to heavy loads, is safe, no harm to baby! In fact, it improves strength, glucose control, and energy, as long as you have no complications or pain. Of course, always check in with your healthcare provider, but this is just what the latest evidence says.

Here are the PubMed articles I used if you want to dive deeper:

Maternal and fetal responses to acute high-intensity resistance exercise (PMID: 39694629)
Pushing limits: heavy-load resistance training during pregnancy (PMID: 40909193)
Maternal and fetal cardiovascular responses to resistance exercise (PMID: 41017756)
High-load resistance training in the first trimester (PMID: 41630131)
Impact of exercise training during pregnancy on maternal-fetal biomarkers (PMID: 40947085)

If you’re interested in diving deeper, this is the current research I’ve found that’s helped me throughout my pregnancy!

38 weeks 🤰🏻…

If you’re thinking about getting weights for your home, I highly suggest looking into adjustable dumbbells.

There are a variety of adjustable dumbbells out there, but we went with the REP x PEPIN for our home gym build. 💪🏼

It was an investment, but this way my fiancé and I can both use the dumbbells and the ability to make incremental adjustments of 2.5lbs has been a game changer for my upper body progressive overloading!

One month left in the clinic until I go on maternity leave…and I’ll truly miss working with these little ones 🤍👶🏼!

Families often seek osteopathic care for:

• unsettled or colicky babies
• feeding and digestion challenges
• head shape or neck tension (plagiocephaly/torticollis)
• sleep difficulties
• recurring ear infections
• sports injuries and growing bodies

It’s not about “fixing”…it’s about supporting development and helping parents feel reassured along the way.

POV: You stop waiting for perfect conditions to take care of your body!

Living in Squamish made one thing clear:
there’s never a “perfect” time to get outside and move my body!

Rain or shine, we still gotta move…. because consistency matters more than conditions!

2 Glute Med Exercises for Hip Stability (Split Squat + Kickstand RDL)

Struggling with single leg stability? These two exercises target the glute med to improve hip and pelvic control.

1. Split squat for frontal plane stability
2. Kickstand RDL to challenge hip control without full single leg load

Great for runners, hikers, lifters, and anyone dealing with hip or knee instability.

Hip rotation shouldn’t come from your knee.

This drill uses the foam roller as feedback to prevent the knee from collapsing inward, forcing true hip internal rotation and single-leg control.
It trains ankle stability, knee positioning, and hip rotation together, the way your body actually moves when you walk, run, or hike.

If you’re strong but still dealing with knee, hip, or ankle issues, this missing link is often why.

Slow reps. Light pressure. Control over range. 2 sets of 10 reps!

Your Body Warns You Before Injury! Most People Ignore It.

Pain and injuries don’t usually come out of nowhere. They develop over time when small signals from the body are ignored. The goal isn’t to stop moving, it’s to move in a way that supports longevity, resilience, and performance.

If you’re active, dealing with recurring pain, or coming back from injury, this conversation matters!

Are Resistance Bands Actually Worth It?

Resistance loop bands aren’t just “warm up tools.”
They improve neuromuscular activation, reinforce proper movement patterns, and help build strength with less joint stress.

From rehab to performance training, loop bands are one of the most effective tools for glute activation, joint stability, and controlled strength work whether you’re recovering from injury or training smart for longevity.
