244: Why Pregnancy & Postpartum Coaching Matters: The Story Behind P&PA

In this solo episode, I'm sharing the story behind the Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coaching Certification, why specialized coaching matters, and how this education can create meaningful opportunities for coaches and the women they support.

I didn't set out to create a certification program. I simply saw a gap in the fitness industry: coaches needed better education to confidently support women through pregnancy and postpartum.

What started with small group coaching for moms eventually grew into Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism and the P&PA Coaching Certification. Over the years, the certification has evolved alongside research, coaching practices, and the needs of athletes.
