Looking for a done for you workout plan to help you feel strong throughout your pregnancy, prepare you for birth and return to a postpartum exercise routine you love?
Pregnancy and postpartum are exciting seasons of life, but this can also come with a lot of uncertainty.
When you're pregnant, your body is changing and growing and you might be wondering how you're going to make it to your due date because you're so uncomfortable, or panicking about how you're actually going to get this baby out of you.
And when you're in the throes of postpartum and motherhood, it might feel like you're never going to get back to feeling like YOU again.
You know you want to feel your best during this time period, but reliable advice seems hard to come by. You know moving your body makes you feel good, both physically and mentally, but it all feels confusing and impossible.
There's not a "right" or "wrong" way to do things.
It's all about having a strategy that is most effective for YOUR body and YOUR pregnancy and postpartum experience.
And that's exactly what I'm here to help with.
It's incredibly confusing and overwhelming to find legitimate fitness advice
You're struggling to have any sort of energy and getting to the end of the day is a challenge
You're powerless or a sense of loss of control as your body changes and grows throughout pregnancy
You just want to feel somewhat like yourself and be able to enjoy your pregnancy and postpartum experience both physically and mentally
You want to best prepare your body for birth and lay the foundation for an easier postpartum recovery
You don't know how to progress your weights without making your Diastasis Recti worse or totally wrecking your pelvic floor
"I started working with Meg at the end of my first trimester. I wanted to prepare my body for labor and postpartum. My goal was natural delivery and I knew it was going to be one of the most challenging things I have ever done and I wanted to set myself up for success during and after. Not only did her workouts help get my body ready for labor and keep me from becoming too sedentary but they also really helped me find balance and a better headspace around exercise. I used to be very all or nothing but when I was pregnant and working with Megan it was very much a “do what you can, when you can.” We would modify workouts as needed and as long as I kept my body moving that’s what mattered most."
- Jessica
"Megan gave my back my confidence in the gym/working out. She truly helped me both during pregnancy and postpartum. I have told all the pregnant mamas I know about her and truly wish [customized pre/postnatal training] was something that was seen a necessity, because I truly believe that it was."
- Emily
"I finally feel like “me” again, physically and mentally, postpartum. If it hadn’t been for [Meg's] encouragement to seek alternate opinions and advocate for myself so early on, I honestly don’t know where I would be now. On top of the physical recovery, her program and expertise gave me trust in myself and left me feeling empowered. The only thing I did that I would change going back would be to start working with her during pregnancy!"
- Samantha
Pre/Postnatal Training and Coaching is a high-level experience that is designed for your specific needs throughout pregnancy and postpartum. It requires commitment which is why my package is a minimum of 3 months. You can pay in full at $950 USD, or pay monthly at $350 USD.

I teach you exactly why you're doing certain exercises, how to best prepare your body for birth, and how to optimize your postpartum recovery both inside your workouts and in daily life!
Workouts are personalized completely to YOU and your goals. Delivered to you via the Trainerize app so you can go at your own pace, and track your progress!
We start with a comprehensive 60 minute consultation and assessment call so I know exactly how your body moves, what you're struggling with, and how to help you achieve your goals

We will schedule monthly Zoom calls to either discuss progress, go through exercises together, or even do a virtual training session. These calls are for you and what you need in the moment! I'll also connect you with Dr. Olga to schedule your pelvic floor consult!
Once I upload you program into Trainerize, I'll send you a video with the full details of your plan, how to use the app, and how to communicate with me. As you complete each workout, you'll track your reps, sets, and leave me any feedback notes. We will be in constant communication and I will ask you to send me videos of certain exercises so I can check your form. We will make adjustments as necessary and I'll be there for you for accountability and motivation!
After our call, I'll send you the invitation to set up your Trainerize app (free to download) and connect with my on Voxer for text and voice memo support.
Once the contract is signed and invoice is paid, we will schedule your 60 minute consultation and movement assessment call! Ideally we schedule this for 1 week before you want to start training so I have time to create your personalized workout plan.
If it's a fit, I'll send over a contract detailing our time together. I require a minimum 3 month committment, but we can extend the contract to fit the length of your pregnancy if you wish! Payment options are $950 USD pay in full or $350 USD monthly.
Once received, I will review your application and determine if we will be a good fit together based on your goals and my style of coaching. I will be in touch via email within 48 hours, and if you have further questions we can hop on a quick call!
I'm a mom of two living in Raleigh, North Carolina, fueled by coffee and dreaming of life at the beach.
My approach to fitness is a functional one. Pregnancy, birth and postpartum are physically demanding seasons of life, and your workouts should help make your day-to-day easier!
When we work together I not only help you get strong, but also help you understand how YOUR body moves and functions so that you feel empowered in your workouts for years to come!
The pay in full option is $950 USD for 3-months (save $100). We do offer a monthly payment plan of $350 USD per month.
Nutrition is out of my area of expertise, however you do have the option of scheduling a call with my colleague Caitlin Cipriano who has her masters in Nutrition and is certified in pre/postnatal nutrition. She can help you come up with a nutrition action plan that feels supportive throughout your pregnancy (this is an added cost)
However long you want them to be! That's the beauty of customized coaching. We come up with a workout plan that feels good for you, that you can be consistent with.
Coaching packages are 3 months. If you have doctors orders to cease exercising, we will move the remaining weeks/months in your contract to postpartum training once you're cleared.
I recommend having a set of light, medium and heavy dumbbells, a loop resistance band, long resistance band with handles, and a large yoga ball/swiss ball. The workouts can be done in the comfort of your home, or in the gym.
This is a high-level of support, and it's not right for everyone! If you want something you can do on your own that is self-paced and doesn't include coaching, check out Powerful Pregnancy or Return to Fitness.
