Strong Mom Trainer & Coach – Krista Williams, CPT
“I’ve been a personal trainer in Newtown, PA specializing in prenatal and postnatal exercise for more than 15 years. My passion is helping moms navigate safe prenatal exercise, and rebuild a solid foundation postpartum. I focus on educating moms-to-be on preserving their core and pelvic floor and setting them up for pain free healing, allowing them to return to any type of exercise they love and feel great doing it. I’m also known for the community of professionals that I’ve built to support clients with every possible need that arises.
Both of my sons were delivered via c-section, and my doctors were excellent. However, while pregnant with my first I kept hearing things like ‘do what you’ve always done,’ or ‘just listen to your body.’ Luckily, I knew how to scale my own exercise as pregnancy progressed, but those vague directions were confusing!
Then, at my 6-week postpartum appointment – with a sore incision, mastitis, and hormones that didn’t know which way was up – I was told I was ‘cleared to resume normal activity without restrictions.’ Yikes! That sounded awful! I was no where near ready and I knew I had a LOT of rehabbing to do first.
There were so many prenatal appointments to attend, and so many newborn appointments for my son, but THIS would be the only postnatal one and THIS would be the only guidance I would receive? I knew better than to take that ‘without restrictions’ line seriously, but I couldn’t stop thinking about every other women who didn’t. It’s no wonder most women do nothing to promote healing of their core and pelvic floor in the first 6 weeks postpartum.
It’s no wonder so many women return to exercise too soon and do too much. It’s no wonder back pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, and diastasis recti are made worse! I decided right then that I would put my best effort into educating moms on their recovery so maybe one day I would stop hearing ‘I wish someone had told me’ from moms who were 10 days, 10 months, and even 10 years postpartum. When you know better you do better!”
