Prenatal & Postnathal Fitness Training | Vancouver Kinesiologist
Support Your Body. Stay Strong. Feel Confident at Every Stage.
Pregnancy and postpartum are powerful, transformative experiences — but they also place unique demands on the body. From pelvic discomfort and core instability to fatigue and posture changes, many expectant and new mothers experience challenges that make it hard to stay active or feel confident in movement.
At UP Athletics & Rehab, I offer safe, customized prenatal and postnatal fitness training led by a registered kinesiologist in Vancouver. Whether you’re looking to stay strong during pregnancy, return to movement after birth, or manage common symptoms like low back pain or core weakness, I’ll help you move with confidence and care through every phase.
Why Prenatal & Postnatal Fitness Matters
During pregnancy, the body undergoes rapid physiological changes — increased joint laxity, postural shifts, and changes in core function. After birth, many new mothers deal with fatigue, diastasis recti, pelvic floor dysfunction, or reduced strength — often with little structured guidance on how to recover safely.
General fitness programs aren’t built for these changes. Without support, many individuals are left guessing what’s safe, what’s too much, and how to rebuild function gradually. That’s where working with a kinesiologist trained in perinatal fitness makes all the difference.
How We Help
Each session is designed around your pregnancy stage, delivery experience, current fitness level, and physical needs. Sessions are one-on-one in a private gym setting and may include:
- Prenatal strength training and mobility work
- Postural and core stability training
- Breathing and pelvic floor awareness techniques
- Postnatal reconditioning after vaginal or C-section delivery
- Safe return-to-exercise protocols
- Education around fatigue, load management, and self-care
We’ll support your body through pregnancy and help you return to the activities you love — from lifting your baby safely to jogging, hiking, or strength training again.
For New and Expecting Parents in Kitsilano & Vancouver
Kitsilano is home to many active parents who value wellness, movement, and balance. But between online advice, changing bodies, and the lack of postnatal support in traditional fitness spaces, it’s easy to feel unsure of how to move safely.
At UP Athletics & Rehab, I provide a calm, supportive space where your movement is respected — not rushed. You’ll never be pushed into exercises that don’t feel right. Instead, we’ll work together to build strength, resilience, and trust in your body again.
Why Work with a Kinesiologist?
As a registered kinesiologist, I combine clinical understanding of the body with a practical, real-world approach to movement. You’ll get evidence-informed programming that adapts to your needs — whether you’re in your second trimester or six months postpartum.
This isn’t about “getting your body back.” It’s about reconnecting with your strength, regaining function, and feeling confident in your movement — for the long term.
