About Steph
I am a mum to four crazy wild boys who keep me on my feet all day (and most nights) long. I know only too well how chaotic life can be and how easy it is to out ourselves behind everyone else’s needs.
I have a huge passion to help women feel strong from within and navigate the stages they are at with as much success and ease as possible. I thoroughly believe knowledge is power and if we understand what we are going through be it menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum or menopause, we are better equipped to deal with it and have a more positive transition. My aim is to impart this knowledge and help women as best I can.
Qualifications
After studying my general Personal Training course I did extensive research into becoming a pre and post natal coach. My personal training course had barely touched on pre and post natal training, yet the reality was I was now technically qualified to train this group of women. In Ireland the only additional courses available are one or two day add on classes. I felt this was just not enough. Throughout pregnancy and delivery a women’s body undergoes immense change and trauma. Proper rehab and repair work is required to help a mums body heal correctly. In order to be able to provide the best care and service to the mums I work with I looked further a field and came across The Girls Gone Strong Movement.
This is a fantastic organisation dedicated to providing up to date, first class, evidence based information in relation to women’s health and fitness. I signed up to become a certified pre and post natal coach through them and knew I am was in the great position to provide proper, effective training to the mums who come to me. From here I started my classes and got hooked on continuously learning and updating my knowledge.
I have since completed serval other courses, namely
