Hey there!

I’m Rikki.

Pre/Postnatal Fitness Coach, dedicated to helping
moms, like you,

navigate exercise in a way that supports your lifestyle, safely and effectively.

As soon as I received my doctors clearance to resume "normal physical activity" after an emergency c-section with my first child, I jumped right back to the gym with zero strategy or guidance. I did exactly what I did before I was pregnant. It was all I knew.

"You got cleared, you'll be fine" was the advice I received.

Unknowingly until months later, I self diagnosed myself with diastasis recti after noticing a huge bulge in my abdomen during a fitness class. I took straight to Dr. Google and the more I read and researched I became obsessed. This has ultimately led me to you and the career I have today.

This has ultimately let me to you and the career I have today.

I didn't realize my lack of awareness or how misinformed I was when it came to pregnancy and postpartum fitness. "Just listen to your body" was standard advice. I did until it was too late and was left with an "oh f*ck" what do I do now. No one talks about your core or pelvic floor in a way that is supportive.

Cue all the certifications and me totally geeking out on women's health.

Just a small town girl, with 2 girls of my own, on a mission to help transform pre and postnatal care for women.

Because you deserve the best!

Success Stories

I really am more conscious in my daily movements, now performing them correctly. What you have taught is so useful! I’m using the techniques for getting up off the floor and bending properly plus doing a kegel correctly, daily!

-Amanda

For me also the accountability is huge and having someone to check in with is insanely helpful. I wasn’t sure how it was all going to work with zoom but the workouts and you being able to see us, correct movements, offer modifications is hugely helpful. I think that’s what has lacked in other programs I’ve done, everything is just prerecorded which is great, but I’m loving having a person to check in with and ask questions to. So THANK YOU!

-Kate

The OR doctors commented on how strong my uterus and core muscles were. They were impressed and I think that bodes well for my recovery, so thanks :)

-Molly W.

Me and baby girl are doing very well, I am so in love with her I can't stop looking at her!!! P.S. My surgeon said I had strong abs too."

- Ruby S.

The results that I've seen so far has not been the numbers on the scale but with my body. I feel stronger and my clothes fit me better. I can feel my muscles again. I can also carry my baby up stairs without getting winded.

-Devon S.

Rikki is so knowledgeable and supportive to ensure full recovery for your body.

-Alyssa P.

Her completely non-judgmental, go at your own pace, supportive and professional program should be part of every mother’s basic pre and post-natal care regimen. I only wish I had found her sooner!

-Kelly D.

The community of friendship in this program along with the added bonuses of getting stronger mentally and physically... there’s nothing better.

-Nicole R.

She somehow struck the perfect balance between pushing you each week to get stronger while also focusing on listening to your body.

-Alex M.

It gave me confidence in knowing I was doing something hugely beneficial for my body. Moms need to remember to take care of themselves as well as their families.

-Christina H.

My passion for exercise began early when I played every sport under the sun growing up. I continued my athletics into college, where I competed in track and field, which led to triathlons and now has transitioned into a love for small group training strength and conditioning classes. I still have that competitive athlete inside I use as inspiration to help mamas like you train for #momlife and enjoy it, pain and symptom free. Whether you want to continue to pursue your athletic goals, want to feel strong and confident in your body again, simply enjoy fitness and movement in general, or want to belong to a community of uplifting and supportive women, I’ve got you covered.

After having an emergency c-section with my first and a VBAC with a challenging recovery with my second, I found an insane passion for all things pregnancy and postpartum awareness, education and connection. As new moms, we aren’t well informed, we don’t have adequate maternal support, and we often find motherhood feeling lonely and isolating. It doesn’t have to be this way and it shouldn’t. I promise, through my own personal pregnancy and postpartum experiences, lessons learned, and continued education and years of experience working with dozens of moms just like you, there is a better way.
