Prenatal personal trainer in Nashville
Staying strong through pregnancy is one of the best things you can do for your body, your energy, and your recovery afterward. Rachel is pre and postnatal certified, and she programs around your trimester, your energy, and your provider's guidance. Nothing generic, nothing risky, nothing that ignores what your body is busy doing.
Training for the pregnant body
Provider-cleared, always
We train within your doctor or midwife's guidance from day one. If they set a limit, the program respects it. Full stop.
Adjusted trimester by trimester
What felt great at 14 weeks may not at 30. Sessions adapt as your body changes, week to week.
Strength that serves the season
Posture, core support, and the strength you'll want for labor, recovery, and carrying a newborn. That's the aim, not a number.
One coach, both chapters
Train with Rachel through pregnancy and the same coach walks you back postpartum. No starting over with someone new.

How it works
Four steps, and the first one is just a chat.
- Step 1
A twenty-minute chat
We talk about your week, your history, and what you actually want to be able to do. No sales script. If I'm not the right fit I'll say so.
- Step 2
An assessment, if we're a fit
We book an assessment: how you move today, what your body's ready for, and what we're aiming at. Your plan starts from here, not from a template.
- Step 3
Pick the commitment that fits
3, 6, or 12 months: the longer the commitment, the lower each hour costs. We settle it together after the assessment, no pressure.
- Step 4
We train, every single week
In person in Nashville or live over Zoom, coached on every rep. Bad sleep week? We adjust: drop volume, keep the weight. Progress doesn't need perfect weeks.
In their own words
I started seeing Rachel to help me get my back pain under control from an old injury and to prepare my body for pregnancy. I’ve been working with her for a couple of years now. I quickly noticed less pain in my back and not having to go to the chiropractor as often. I also continued seeing her while I was pregnant. I did not experience any back pain throughout my pregnancy and I credit that to all the work we did to prepare my body for it.
Coming in I was a bit scared because I just finished my PT sessions for slight uterus prolapses and I knew there were many weak links in my body. I was looking for someone who understood it and can work to improve it. She is THE ONE!! Hands down she is the best trainer I had! She is professional in carrying out the session through zoom. The progression of the program she designs is natural but not without challenges. Her tips and feedbacks are so beneficial for me to understand mind-to-muscle connection. And she is super personal and friendly, just a absolute darling to work with. Workout can be a breeze with her!!!!!
Rachel is a wonderful trainer. She’s professional, warm, and supportive and has given me the knowledge and tools to challenge myself and work towards fitness goals I’d otherwise be intimidated by. Working with her has been fun and empowering!
Questions I get about this
Is it safe to strength train while pregnant?
For many pregnancies, yes, but your doctor or midwife decides that, not me. We train within their guidance from day one and adjust trimester by trimester.
Can I start in my second or third trimester?
Yes, once your provider clears you. We start where your body is that week, not where a template says you should be.
Will you keep training me after the baby arrives?
Yes. The same coach walks you back postpartum, starting when your provider clears you, so you never start over with someone new.
Can I train from home?
Yes. Virtual sessions run live over Zoom, built around whatever equipment you have. Plenty of pregnant clients prefer it.
What does it cost?
It depends on how long we work together. There are 3, 6, and 12-month options, and the longer the commitment, the lower each hour costs. We'll go through exact rates on your free call. The call itself costs nothing, and there's no hard sell.
Start with a conversation, not a commitment.
You take care of everyone. This call is twenty minutes just for you. No pressure, no sales script. If I'm not the right coach for you, I'll tell you who is.
