Hi, I’m Olivia, Certified Personal Trainer focused helping people build strength, confidence, and longevity in their movement. I specialize in functional fitness with a deep emphasis on training the whole person—not just how they look, but how they feel and what their body can do for them.

My journey into personal training began with a mentor who showed me how empowering it can be to focus on being strong not just getting smaller. It has become my passion to help others feel stronger, move better, and stay grounded through intentional movement. I believe that fitness should be a place where people—especially women—feel safe, powerful, and supported.

I became a Built Well for Birth coach because I wanted to learn more about women’s bodies—not just in theory, but in practice. So much of the fitness industry is marketed to women, but not always in the way we need.. Women deserve spaces where they feel safe, seen, and supported, especially during times of massive physical and emotional change like pregnancy and postpartum.

I’ve always been drawn to fitness as a source of strength, not just physically but mentally. It keeps me grounded, calm, and connected to my body. But the more I worked with women, the more I realized how few resources exist that actually help them navigate the realities of their changing bodies, particularly around pregnancy. Built Well for Birth stood out to me because it’s not about bouncing back or fitting into pre-pregnancy jeans—it’s about movement, strength, healing, and confidence.

It’s also personal. One day, I hope to experience pregnancy myself, and I wanted to understand what that might look like before getting there. I wanted to be a resource, a guide, and a space-holder for women who are going through one of the most demanding seasons of their lives. Built Well for Birth gave me the tools, education, and trust to do that in a way that feels both science-backed and deeply compassionate.

I was lucky enough to start working with a client who was referred to me by her husband—also one of my clients—after she had a tough recovery from her first pregnancy. Now with a little one already at home and another baby on the way, it’s more important than ever that she feels strong and supported through this pregnancy and the postpartum period.

What’s been powerful about this experience is realizing how far the work we do goes beyond the gym. It’s not just about lifting weights—it’s about being able to confidently hold your baby, get down on the floor for bedtime stories, and stand up without back pain. It’s about having agency over your body and feeling like you’re in control.

Built Well for Birth has completely shifted how I approach training. It’s not just for the immediate postpartum months—it’s for the woman whose kids are older and still struggling with core engagement or pelvic floor issues. This certification gave me the tools to recognize what’s been overlooked and help clients feel strong, confident, and capable.

It’s allowed me to meet women where they are, validate what they’re going through, and give them the support they deserve at every stage of motherhood.
