Focus
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
- Movement
Movement and breathing strategies along with an awareness of anatomical and physiological changes is key in training the pregnant or postpartum woman.
- Nutrition
Proper nutrition is key in nourishing our bodies, hormonal health and fertility. The goal is to balance getting enough nutrients to support the growth of the baby and maintaining a healthy weight. Postpartum nourishment is key in breastmilk supply, energy & healing.
- Mindset
When working with pregnant and postpartum clients, the most important thing they will modify is their mindset. Through every stage, it is our job to help guide our clients through the mental challenges of their journey. We help them do this by supporting them with encouragement, empathy, educational-based support, and grace.

Continuing Education
After conception, I soon realized that despite my 10 years of working in the fitness industry and formal education, I had no idea how to train myself (let alone anyone else) through pregnancy or the postpartum period. I began seeking advice from health care professionals, to which, their answers were short of “do what you always do” immediately followed by “but don’t lift more than 35 lbs or get your heart rate above 140” - very contradictory to what I was doing prior to conception, very extreme, generalized and what I thought was outdated. With the amount of drastic changes already occurring (both physically, mentally and emotionally) during this early pregnancy time, I found that I had no one to fully answer my questions regarding maintaining my lifestyle. I found the girls at the MINT project who shared a similar mindset to mine and quickly jumped into a seminar and the MINT Trainer's Certification Course. I found that these tools have provided me with so much clarity and education on not only how to train myself throughout my pregnancy but also moving forward, how to train clients and pivot my business to focus solely on pregnant and postpartum women.
During the middle of this course I had 3 pregnant moms in my classes. I was able to help each one see a different way to exercise properly. Instead of saying to them “just do what feels good”. This brought valuable knowledge to them, and I hadn’t even finished my course. As I am now done with this course I look forward to helping even more women during this very important part of their life. As a mom of 4 daughters I wish I would have known all this before. Becoming a mom changed my life and also changed me as a person, but I have to say it was difficult not knowing how to workout during those times and feel like myself during that time. I remember wanting to feel “normal” again. What ever that means. But I adjusted alone, walking with my little ones and doing lots of workout videos (tae Bo, 5 min abs) in my living room floor. Today I see the value of this kind of course, not only to be able to teach new concepts and techniques to exercises, but for the community aspect. So thank you MINT project for your passion and leadership. This is knowledge every gym owner should have available in their gym!
The MINT Prjct was such a great resource and certificate to add to my resume as a trainer. These ladies really broke down the basics of where pregnant and PP moms should start their physical journey and gave me the tools to help my future clients. Highly recommend this course!
