2024 Main Stage
SATURDAY 10:30am - Pregnancy and Postpartum Fitness Workshop with Mighty Mom Coach, Prenatal & Postpartum Fitness Specialist
Speaker: Rachel D’Rozario, Mighty Mom Coach, Prenatal & Postpartum Fitness Specialist
Rachel found strength training in her early 20s but when she was pregnant and during the most critical time of healing, she had no idea what to do to strengthen her body and reduce pain postpartum and more importantly how to incorporate movement into her daily life as a stay at home mom. That is what drove her to learn how to strengthen herself and continues to drive her to support as many moms as she can reach. She hopes to help moms feel strong and confident through exercise and movement.
Rachel holds her Canfitpro PTS certification, is a Certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Coach and the Mighty Mom Hamilton Coach.
