Meet Madeline…
Madeline’s love for movement started as a tiny two year old taking her first dance classes. Yes, the classes did begin with tears but soon the desire to leap and plié took root and grew. Her passion for dance was her main focus through her young life. Even after she left her beloved dance studio, she continued to take ballet classes while in college for her BA in Theatre and Film Production at the University of Colorado Denver. Ballet only took a temporary back seat once she found a new passion: understanding movement in the realm of pregnancy and postpartum women.
She was inspired to pursue a personal training certification by a love of movement and a deep understanding of body awareness. Madeline also has a strong belief in the importance of providing clear, unbiased information about the human body for both current and prospective mothers; this led her to obtain numerous specialized certifications.
In 2017, she began teaching classes and working with women 1-1 in the pre and postnatal fitness realm. The goal and focus has always been building balanced strength beginning with the core, which includes the pelvic floor. She has found that guiding women to build their body awareness starting from their center is a powerful approach that extends into so many aspects of life.
Madeline has two sons, both sweet and incredibly active! Her understanding of pre/postnatal core and pelvic floor health is what allows her to maintain her strength to keep up with her boys. She is no stranger to the rehabilitation needed for women in the C-section and vaginal birth realms, having had two C-sections, one planned and one not,. She understands it is not a rest and jump back to real life at 6 weeks post-birth; instead time and focused rebuilding of the body is needed to ensure effective recovery and healing.
