I’m Emily, certified personal trainer, pre & postnatal exercise specialist, and mom of two. I’ve spent years coaching women and athletes of all kinds, and I bring that experience into the pre/postnatal space to create science-backed, strength-focused fitness programs that help women feel strong, confident, and consistent — in the gym, in motherhood, and in life.

ABOUT

When I was pregnant with my first, I quickly realized how confusing and outdated the information around training during pregnancy and postpartum really was. I was constantly running into vague advice like “just listen to your body” or “you’ll be fine to go back to whatever you were doing before.” But none of that took into account the individual needs of each woman, the demands of daily life, or what actually happens to the body during pregnancy, birth, and recovery. The guidance often felt like a list of don’ts, and fear-based  messaging made strength training feel off-limits for so many women. I knew there had to be a better way.

Then came postpartum. Six days after giving birth, I was carrying my newborn in his car seat to his first appointment, doing squats, bending, lifting, and getting up and down from the floor all day - while trying to rest and heal. At my six-week checkup, I got a quick “you’re cleared for exercise” - no guidance, no physical therapy referrals, no roadmap for how to actually return to movement safely.

That gap in care is what inspired Lift with Emily.

My mission is to fill that space with real education, personalized support, and strength training that evolves with you. My programs are rooted in science - not fear. They go beyond just modifying exercises and help you build a strong foundation for pregnancy, support smoother recovery postpartum, and set you up for long-term performance and confidence.

Whether you’re newly pregnant, healing after birth, or years into motherhood, you deserve fitness that meets you where you are and helps you feel strong in every chapter.

PRAISE FROM CLIENTS

"I delivered my baby 38 + 5 and my midwife team were so impressed at his positioning

Everything went so well and it's because I had access to programming like yours. I was able to build upper body strength during pregnancy which ironically was what helped me find my optimal push position. Thank you!"

PRAISE FROM CLIENTS

"I just wanted to tell you how good I am feeling postpartum. I have way less incontinence and generally feel so much stronger than with my first.

I worked out the whole of my pregnancy with her but didn't do so much pelvic mobility and pregnancy specific stuff, its made a HUGE difference"

PRAISE FROM CLIENTS

"Finding your program was a life changing moment for me. 

I don't have to worry about my workouts because they are already made up and tailored to my stage in pregnancy. Your program helped give me more grace to myself than ever before, find more balance in my life and give more mental energy to things that actually matter. All of that to say, thank you"
