Navigating pregnancy, postpartum, loss, and parenting can already feel like a lot.
The last thing you need is pressure.
Pressure to move your body in a way that feels like too much.
It’s not helpful to feel sore for days or to have to drag yourself through a workout that requires way more energy than you’ve got.
Not to mention the pressure that comes from being surrounded by the majority of the fitness industry’s gross messages that would dare to tell you that your changing body is anything but totally fine just as it is.
YOU NEED MOVEMENT THAT ENERGIZES YOU AND MAKES YOU LIKE HOW YOU FEEL IN THIS VERSION OF YOUR BODY.
-
A program that adds to your life rather than handing you one more hard thing.
-
A coach that tells the rest of the industry to shove it and, instead, encourages conversations around how exercise can truly support your whole being.
...through all of the seasons of life - the good and the hard.

Meet Martine Chiasson, your prenatal & postnatal fitness coach
I'm a certified kinesiologist specialized in prenatal and postnatal fitness. I have a passion in supporting pregnant and postpartum people on their journeys to parenthood. I'm also a mother to 3 children under the age of 9, so I get it!
​
When it comes to the fitness industry, you could say I’m a little bit of a misfit. I don’t coach weight loss, or take before and after photos or body measurements. I DO help folks of all fitness levels continue to move in ways that feel good in pregnancy in order to prepare for birth.
​
During the postpartum journey (inclusive of bereaved parents) and motherhood, I guide and support the return to exercise while honoring you as a whole person
​
I can help you manage pelvic floor symptoms present during exercise, strengthen your core and pelvic floor, and get you on your way to achieving your goals, whatever these may be in this season of life.

DOING OUR PART
Every month, on behalf of The Stronger Now Community, we will be donating to organizations that support women, families and communities in need.
-
Can I join even if I’m still in my first trimester?Absolutely! Unless there is a medical reason or contraindication, this class is appropriate for all trimesters! Women are usually fatigued or nauseous in the first trimester, but studies show that exercise can alleviate these symptoms, BONUS!
-
Is this safe for 3rd trimester?Unless there is a medical contraindication, these workouts are absolutely appropriate for the third trimester. We actually encourage you to be active near the end of pregnancy as it can alleviate some discomfort and achiness often felt by women.
-
What type of exercises will be included in this class?Great question! This class is meant to strengthen your whole body, therefore you can expect all types of different exercises such as: body weight, resistance banded exercises, weighted exercises as well as some relaxation poses and mobility work. This class is NOT a HIIT class nor does it have any impact exercises.
-
How long are the workouts?Each session will be 60 minutes each. The actual time spent moving will range from 30-40 minutes total.
-
I haven’t done exercises in years, can I still join?"YES! As mentionned above, these exercises are appropriate for all levels of fitness. We can modify exercises to meet you where you feel comfortable. The goal of this class is to strengthen your whole body, boost your mood and energy, and have you feeling confidant going into birth.
-
Is this refundable?This is non-refundable. I am confident that you will love this class, however, pregnancy is a journey, and we don't control all the variables of our journey. If something should happen, or you are no longer medically cleared to exercise (i.e bleeding, bed rest, loss of amniotic fluid, etc), or you feel uncomfortable moving forward with the class, please send me an email HERE and we can further discuss :)
