25. Exercise with Confidence in Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum with Nicole from Strong Mama Wellness

I’m excited to welcome another amazing guest, Nicole Scheitlin, onto the podcast today!

Nicole is a Certified Exercise Physiologist and Pre/postnatal Fitness Specialist with over 10 years experience in the fitness industry. She’s also a wife and mom of 2 boys. Nicole takes a performance training approach to help current and expecting moms prepare their bodies for a strong pregnancy, confident birth, and smooth postpartum recovery. 

Nicole believes every mama deserves to enjoy the journey into motherhood as much as possible, and seize exercise as an important tool to support our bodies through the changes.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about:

• Nicole’s story of getting into the fitness industry and eventually, creating Strong Mama Wellness
• Myths about exercise in pregnancy
• The best time to start exercising in pregnancy
• Benefits to exercising during pregnancy for both mothers and babies
• Precautions to keep in mind when exercising during pregnancy
• Tips for preparing for labor and birth
• Understanding your pelvic floor and how to really connect to it
• How Nicole works with expecting moms and families

Nicole had SO much value to share in this episode; she really is doing incredible work and making such a positive impact on those she works with. I can’t wait to have her back on to talk more about the postpartum period!
