“I was diagnosed with a diastasis recti after my second pregnancy. Between this and having a second c-section, I was really worried about restarting the activities I loved. Darlene put my mind at ease and taught me how to strengthen and move safely. She encouraged me to return to everything I wanted to do…including weightlifting. I learned how to coordinate my breathing, abdominal pressure, and posture to get all the necessary muscles firing. I especially needed this for my most important workout… keeping up with my 2 little ones!

“I was 40 and in the absolute best shape of my life when I decided to have a baby. Leading up to my pregnancy, I was working out twice a day, five days per week, at Barry’s Bootcamp, but was unsure of what exercise regimen I could safely do moving forward in my pregnancy. Darlene thoughtfully coached me on how to maintain my athleticism while modifying my training to match my changing body and my baby’s needs throughout each trimester. As expected, labor and delivery can be very stressful but, thanks to Darlene’s guidance and encouragement to maintain my fitness during my pregnancy, I felt extremely prepared and confident during childbirth and beyond!”
