Online Training Consult

At 21 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child I started feeling some ab pain while running. I could tell from the location of the pain that it was due to my ab separation. I've run through my two prior pregnancies without much problem, so I was worried this new pain would mean I'd have to stop. Celeste was really helpful and gave me so many different exercises to help strengthen my abs so I'd be able to keep running. Pregnant women are so often told all the things we CAN'T do, it was so nice to have someone equip me with the tools to keep exercising and staying healthy during this pregnancy. Now, at 24 weeks, my ab pain is entirely gone and I am back to running again pain free!

Celeste was a great help to me at 6 weeks postpartum. She performed diagnostic moves over video to assess some pelvic pressure I was feeling with exercise, gave me some specific exercises to work on (in addition to Recore programs), and - most importantly - advised me to be patient with my return to running, giving me a plan that balanced rest with testing it out when I felt ready. I was able to schedule the consult within a day, which was a huge benefit over some local PTs I contacted (which didn’t offer appointments for weeks). I am grateful for her steady guidance during a time of such physical uncertainty and have had a smooth return to running postpartum following her advice.

Even though I was 5 years post-partum and back to running and racing, I still couldn't get rid of a stubborn 'belly'. Everything I found online was geared at women who had recently given birth or had diastasis recti; I was neither and I wasn't sure where to start. I scheduled a private consultation with Celeste, where she assessed my current strengths and weaknesses and then followed up with an initial set of exercises, as well as more advanced ones for when I progressed. She also helped me set realistic expectations, which I really appreciated because I hadn't been able to get that anywhere else, from someone who was also an athlete / runner. I'm still doing the exercises Celeste recommended, and can feel the difference in core strength and tightened-up abs. I really appreciate that Celeste was able to meet me where I was.

My consultation with Celeste was fantastic and very thorough! Before signing up, I was on the fence as to whether or not I actually needed a consultation...and I'm so glad I did. The information Celeste provided during the session and in the followup email was excellent. I will definitely be contacting her again after future babies!!!
