I really struggled after having my baby because of exhaustion & the demands of breastfeeding & working full-time.
I was also concerned about milk supply.
I felt so much safer working with Margaret because I had a coach in my corner to turn to if things went off the rails.
Having her guidance when I needed support (not stress or guilt!) over exercise made all the difference.
It feels like Margaret is on your team through the entire process-- every workout & chat-- and it's incredibly motivating!
She has a tremendous amount of empathy & compassion for the struggles women go through during pregnancy & postpartum.
She GETS IT.
I honestly do not think you could meet a more kind, considerate trainer."

She helped to prepare me physically and mentally during my second & third trimesters,
& we even had a session two days before I gave birth!
I always felt empowered & strong,
& credit Margaret for coaching me through those times,
including my birth experience where I felt extremely confident.
Similarly, my postpartum recovery has been very smooth & I feel like I am reaching my new normal very quickly.
We began moving in a safe & comfortable way as soon as I was ready just a few weeks after birth.
It has contributed to feeling great in the first few months after having my baby.
I know I would not be as far along in my healing process without the work Margaret & I put in during pregnancy & those first few weeks postpartum.
Margaret understands what my body needs & what I'm capable of & caters my training to that.
- Allison D.
I was also recovering from post-COVID complications.
Working with Margaret has been great!
She developed a custom program to safely heal & strengthen my body at my own pace so I felt comfortable working out again.
I really liked the accessibility of things, & the flexibility to change the program based on my needs.
You should work with Margaret if you're looking for a personalized program & a dedicated coach
who is always there to answer your questions & give you advice!

I reached out to Margaret because her content around pregnancy & health was not only educational, but very compassionate.
She isn't about the numbers-- she is totally invested in your journey. No amount of money can buy you that.
People either truly care or they don't. Margaret does.
She keeps the focus off of appearance or trying to "get your pre-baby body back" & gives you so much support & resources to feel empowered in your body as you prepare to do a powerful thing!!
From her coaching sessions to her personalized programs where she herself is personally modeling for you safe & successful techniques...
you never feel alone on the journey.
Working out with Margaret during this pregnancy was unlike any other experience I've had at the gym or with a trainer.
The focus is not just on your physical strength, but truly being educated on how capable you are physically & mentally.
When people ask me how I can be so calm about the idea of bringing a baby into the world, I always send them Margaret's information & recommend they have health provider they can fully trust.
Through Margaret's program I was able to stay aligned through the tough moments in my pregnancy, & trust that I am strong & capable in my body!
- Shelby T.
She goes to great lengths to understand your individual needs, & has been able to design my workouts to meet my challenges after injuries & surgery.
If an exercise does not feel right for my body, she recognizes this & gives me a modification quickly.
This immediately removes any “pressure” to perform when it's not the best thing for your body…
there is no failure & no judgement here!
I can see the benefits of consistent exercise now, & I feel accountable!
My movement, strength & overall fitness has greatly improved in the past 9 months working together."
- Beth E.
With my first pregnancy, I was so worried about what I could & couldn’t do that I just stopped workouts altogether.
Margaret's programs were backed by evidence & accessible for the season of life I was in,
& she adapted my exercises when unforeseen hiccups (like pelvic pain) came up.
Every movement was intentional, felt safe for me & my baby, & still challenged my fitness.
I can 100% attribute my positive birth story to the work that I put into strengthening my body throughout pregnancy.
Lifting heavy weights doesn’t hurt, it helps prepare for labor & delivery (& recovery).
So grateful for the guide & coach Margaret was!
- Alexa L.
This program is not about getting 'skinny,'
but strength & feeling your best!
Margaret is very knowledgeable about exercise through all phases of life & always encouraging.
Now I'm pregnant with my second baby,
& Margaret helps me stay motivated to keep moving & make the right adjustments for my changing body
so I can maintain my strength through pregnancy.
She also understands that we are humans, life happens,
& sometimes workouts can't get done (& that's okay!).
Margaret truly cares about you as a person & wants you to feel your best.
She wants to know how all aspects of your journey are going, not just pushing you to do your next workout.
My experience has been wonderful!"
- Bailey L.
I highly recommend Margaret--
She's helped me feel assured that I have been doing the right things for my body with correct & safe guidance.
She is knowledgeable with an eye for detail for your specific needs throughout your journey & is always there supporting you
(& understands when things come up in pregnancy & as a mum).
Her expertise & programming put her above the rest!"
