Testimonials
When I started training with Andrea my long-term goal was to become an athlete. Andrea has helped support me in that vision through monthly goal setting, daily support and inspiration, and tailor-made workouts that stretch me. I see the confidence that I gain from my success in working with Andrea translate to confidence in other areas of my life.

I'm healthier & have more energy after the birth of my two children than before I was a mom. I trained with Andrea during and after both pregnancies & highly recommend her!

Caitlin Gregg
After working with Andrea during pregnancy, I was able to compete and place 1st & 3rd in my first cross country ski race after I had my baby girl. She understood how to help me slow down & listen to my body during & after baby.
This 3 month program includes:
Custom Workouts
All workouts are 30-45 minutes in length or under. You will have access to "homework" workouts to do outside of our sessions.
Each workout will have either a yoga, strength training, bodyweight flow, coredio (core & cardio), or booty theme.
Yoga & Pranayama for birth & postpartum
You will be able to prepare the body and mind for birth doing yoga poses to help open the hips and breathwork to prepare for delivery.
Postpartum breathwork is extremely important to re-engage the core and pelvic floor. You will get my return to exercise practices to help you nourish and flourish during those initial weeks.
Core & Pelvic Floor Focused training
What most workouts miss during pregnancy and postpartum is the core, pelvic floor & breath connection. We focus heavily on core & pelvic floor to make sure you return to your workouts feeling strong and confident in yourself.
I'm an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor, Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula, Certified Personal Trainer, a Yoga Instructor, and Pre/Postnatal Specialist since 2007. I'm also a wife & mom to two active young boys.
I have specialized in pre/postpartum wellness since 2007. The industry has come along ways in regards to working out during pregnancy. My philosophy is all about core & pelvic floor health and strengthening the glutes. I've worked with over a hundred mamas now during pregnancy & early postpartum years.
I love to infuse breathwork, stretches, and Ayurvedic wisdom into sessions to help you prepare for birth or recover postpartum.

I'm ready. Let's go!
connect with your inner wisdom
I started training with Andrea while pregnant with my second child, after badly injuring myself postpartum 4 months after having my first child. I thought I’d do it for the pre and post-natal period only, but I’ve been addicted to training with her ever since! Her maternity knowledge is unmatched, and 2 years later, she’s still finding ways to challenge me in a fun way. She keeps my workouts fresh and fun, tailoring everything to my specific style. It’s still amazing to me that I could lose all the baby weight through 30 minute workouts.

When is the best time to start this program?
Anytime!
I have mamas who start training with me in their first, second or third trimesters.
I also have mamas who see me 6-20 weeks postpartum. It really depends on your goals and support needed.
Online or in-person Personal training?
I offer online or in-person personal training to those in St. Paul/Minneapolis Area.
My training hours are Monday-Friday 8am-4pm CST.
After just 6 months of working with Andrea, I have lost over 25 pounds, dropped 2 dress sizes. Andrea has pushed me to be the best version of myself. She holds me accountable, but in the most supportive way. She made me feel comfortable in my own skin, even though I was (and still am) a work in progress. I've also worked with Andrea during pregnancy and postpartum with two of my little ones. She was able to modify and adjust my routines to my energy level and make it work even though I had severe HG during both pregnancies.

We meet virtually via Zoom or in-person at your home each week. I have a Google Drive where your workouts are stored in between sessions.

Minimal equipment is needed-a set of dumbbells, booty bands, long resistance band, and a mat.
How long are the training sessions?
30 minutes via Zoom
45 Minutes In-Person or Zoom
Will there be jumping in my workouts?
Can I renew after My 3 month package is complete?
Not if you don't want there to be. I'm not a big fan of jumping in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters or early postpartum. My goal is to help you rebuild core & pelvic floor first before you load it with jumping or running.
Yes. We go on a month to month basis after the initial 3 months are complete.
Can I add on ayurvedic sessions to learn about pregnancy & postpartum lifestyle coaching?
Yes, you can add on additional coaching options as we progress if that feels in alignment with your needs.
Will you teach us how to incorporate basic ayurvedic pregnancy & postpartum tips?
Yep! If you want to go even deeper than our quick discussions in our sessions you can always purchase an additional Ayurvedic session.
