I have taken what I learned and created wellness guides to help mothers build exercise and movement into their life, to help mothers eat better (and keep the kids kinda happy) without feeling deprived, as well as to help mothers honor the fluctuations in their energy, time, attention, and motivation without having to leave their homes, spend thousands on coaching sessions, or waste their time.
