Hey, I'm Blanche!

The year is 2015 and I’m pregnant. I felt the fear of being incapable. People were telling me to not put my hands above my head, jump, or lift anything heavy – now some of that has changed. But we still get the message that pregnancy is a condition rather than a natural process. It’s so easy to think, ‘can I do anything?’

Fast forward to 2016, 2 weeks after I ran a half marathon and finally feeling myself at 13 months postpartum, I became pregnant, again. I was the ‘fittest’ I had ever been, but fear still ruled my fitness. I was so afraid I’d lose what I had gained… I didn’t want to lose my fitness, my strength and my skill. Confession: I remember working out so hard the Saturday before I went into labor that I was sore for 2 over days. I was actually upset that I wasn’t able to get in another workout because for whatever reason doing a workout the day I went into labor seemed like the epitome of being capable and strong.

(Spoiler – it’s not.)

Then in 2018 at just 10 months postpartum, I had a surprise pregnancy. Throughout that season, I dove into the discomfort + fear of inadequacy. I surrendered deeply held beliefs that didn’t serve me.

And then changed – a lot. I changed careers, cities, + pant sizes. 

I also learned a lot. I learned how the body works and how to move in a way that served my season and goals. I researched all things pregnancy, fitness + returning to it post baby. I learned about mindset, mobility + movement. I became more confident, objective + empathetic. 

And now, I’ve combined the last 10 years of experience, knowledge + training into different programs + offers for you.
