I had two C-sections. And what shocked me most wasn’t the surgery… it was the lack of guidance after. Just “see you at 6 weeks.” 🤯

If I’m being honest, there were moments I felt shame. Like I had somehow failed, or taken the “easy way out.” But a C-section is major abdominal surgery.

During my first pregnancy, I became a ProNatal Certified Coach and that experience completely shifted how I viewed recovery.

It made me realize how much our bodies go through during pregnancy and birth…and how deserving we are of support, education, and grace in the process of healing.

I learned how to reconnect to my core, strengthen my pelvic floor, and actually heal layer by layer.

If you’ve had a C-section (planned or not), you deserve to feel supported, informed, and empowered in your recovery.

Save this for your recovery journey, and send it to a mama who needs it 💌

Third trimester mamas — your body is doing a LOT right now 🤍

(and if you’re not there yet, save this for when you are 👀)

Your workouts should support that, not fight it.

These are a few of my go-to shifts to help you feel stronger, more supported, and more prepared for birth and postpartum.

No pressure. No “bounce back.” Just smart, intentional movement that meets you where you are.

Save this for later, and send it to a mama who needs this 💌

If you want guidance that’s actually tailored to pregnancy + postpartum → I’ve got you.

GVL moms: meet your new self-care spot ✨

I didn’t realize how much I needed this until I walked into and everything just felt calm.

Spavia Greenville is a luxury day spa offering personalized massages, rejuvenating facials, and wellness treatments designed to help you relax, recharge, and feel your best.

From the peaceful retreat room — with cozy robes, soothing music, warm aromatherapy neck pillows, and herbal tea — to the personalized treatments, the entire experience is designed to help you truly unwind.

I had the Signature 80-Minute Massage with Jess and the Premier Soothing Recovery Facial with Mary, and walked out feeling completely renewed.

Maternity Massage treatments are available for second and third trimester mamas, helping relieve tension, reduce stress, and support your body through pregnancy 🫶

If making this a routine feels hard, their membership options make it simple with monthly treatments, savings, and rollover flexibility when life gets busy.

There’s also a beautiful spa boutique with curated products you can take home to keep that post-spa feeling going ✨

Spavia really makes self-care feel like a necessity, not a luxury. The perfect place for moms to make part of their routine.

Second trimester is your build phase 💪

While every pregnancy is different, many women feel more energy in the second trimester — making it a great time to build strength if it feels good for your body.

Save or screenshot this for weeks 13–26:

→ Breathe with your reps (core + pelvic floor matter more than ever)

→ Progress your strength as tolerated

→ Prioritize alignment over intensity

→ Train your lower body for stability + endurance

→ Avoid core work that creates excess pressure or compromises alignment

This is how you support your pregnancy and set yourself up for a smoother postpartum.

Want help applying this to real workouts? I offer 1:1 training + guided programs—DM me 💌 or comment SECOND for details! 💪

Pregnant?🤰💖

This is your reminder — you don’t need to wait until postpartum to start feeling strong.

Because birth is physical.
Recovery is physical.
Motherhood is physical.

And the stronger you are during pregnancy,
the better supported you’ll feel through all of it.

Less aches.
More stability.
Smoother birth.
Better recovery & function in that fourth trimester.

But here’s what no one tells you — not every workout is right for every pregnancy.

That’s where I come in, mama! 🙋‍♀️

I offer personalized prenatal training so you know exactly:
✔ what’s safe
✔ what’s effective
✔ what your body actually needs

Whether it’s:
💪 a one-time consult
💪 trimester check-ins
💪 or ongoing 1:1 support

We build something that fits you 💖

I include my Motion Studio on demand prenatal workouts so you’re supported between sessions too.

No guesswork. No overwhelm. Just support.

DM me PRENATAL if you want help getting started 🤰💪💖
