Pre/Postnatal Pilates Intensive Student Testimonials

Jordan Nosanchuk

"Erica is an experienced Pilates instructor and, given her numerous certifications and depth of knowledge, I trusted that she would pull together the most relevant and critical components of working with pre & post natal women. As a visual learner, I appreciated the beautifully detailed manual she created and the access to instructional videos via her website. A natural teacher, Erica is able to explain concepts in a clear and comprehensive manner. She is approachable and supportive and takes the time to thoroughly respond to questions. With a private clientele currently made up of all females, I've been waiting for the right opportunity to learn more about the pre/post natal population so I am grateful that Erica offered this course. I now feel better prepared to support moms in a safe and effective way."

"Erica has taken her vast knowledge of Pre & Postnatal Pilates and created the perfect intensive. She has found a really wonderful balance between anatomy and Pilates programming that I think can be applied to all clients, not just pre and postnatal moms. Working with pregnant clients and new moms was intimidating, as this is an extremely important and sensitive time in a woman's life. This course has given me the knowledge and confidence to choose this practice as my specialty, and I couldn't be more grateful.”

“Working with Erica has been a joy on so many levels! I learned so much valuable information from her Pre and Postnatal Intensive. I am a physical therapist and have incorporated Pilates into my rehabilitation starting a few years ago. This course was a perfect way to learn the most up to date information regarding safety with exercise and with use of all Pilates equipment. Erica’s library of videos and resources in the manual has provided ease and confidence when treating Mamas. Pre and Postpartum Mamas can sometimes be an intimidating population but, Erica made this course fun, informative, collaborative, and useful! I would highly recommend her program! I would highly recommend this course!” - Kelly Montgomery PT, DPT, NCPT

“Erica's pre and post natal course brought so much to my attention. While taking the course, I was expecting my first child. I had no clue how much a woman's body changes throughout pregnancy. It is something, I feel that most doctors do not tell their patients, myself included. The course helped me with my personal practice, and I feel more confident working with other women who are pre and post natal. Before the course, the only thing I knew was no flexion, but I have learned so many other great movement practices to keep pre and post natal clients safe but feeling strong. I am so excited to start working with more women, especially prenatal. Thanks Erica!”

“I was always fascinated with women who worked out while being pregnant given that unfortunately I wasn’t able to during both my pregnancies due to compilations. Fortunately I was lucky enough to find Erica’s informative course. The course was very helpful and up to date. Erica’s experience and knowledge is very much evident through out the course. It was easy to access despite the time difference. Working with pregnant women and postnatal women is not easy and could be a little bit scary…but this course has given me the knowledge and confidence to work with these women and help ease their pain during their pregnancy. The course is comprehensive and evidence based. What I found most helpful is that Erica is very attentive and always available and ready to answer questions- I highly recommend this course!“

“This last year, I had so many moms coming to see me at my studio who were pregnant or just had babies. The body goes through a lot of changes during those 9 plus months and I realized a lot of moms had the same complaints… low back pain, no core strength, tight hamstrings, tight shoulders, and many more… I craved learning more than my original pilates certification gave me. I was finding it difficult to find SAFE variations for mamas without knowing personally what it all felt like. I am not a mother (yet) but I want to be able to help moms feel stronger and more in control of their bodies in the SAFEST way! (I am always about form first!)

Without my amazing friend Erica, and her training to teach through all the stages of pre + postnatal pregnancy and how to check for Diastasis in my clients, I felt I wasn’t giving my clients everything they deserve from me.

Thankful for YOU, your tips, tricks and knowledge to set me on my never ending journey of Pilates!”

Lucy Ragnow

“Erica put together such an amazing workshop answering everything I could've wanted to know about teaching pre & postnatal clients and more. The supplemental videos, exercise charts by trimester, explanation of areas of concern, etc. were so informative, easy to understand, and will be a reference point I come back to throughout my entire Pilates career. I feel so confident teaching moms and am blown away that we aren't taught some of this information at the beginning of our teaching training. I'm so thankful for Erica and would recommend this workshop to any instructor!”

Demetria Moilanen

“Being a new mom - a beautiful and life changing event - there is no way to deny the physical transformation of my body during this process. Now, one of the most challenging things that used to come so easy for me was working out. That word means so much more than just burning calories, it’s rebuilding a foundation of strength and mobility. Attending this workshop was so empowering. I now have the knowledge to safely and effectively program pre and postnatal Pilates workouts for myself. My focus is now centered on my form and breathing, and not the looming fear of causing harm to myself and or the precious life growing inside me.“

Megan Clapp

“If you want to feel confident teaching pre and postnatal mamas then I highly recommend taking Erica’s pre and postnatal intensive course. I’m a mom of two and did Pilates before, during and after both pregnancies and always felt fine working with other moms and moms-to-be but after taking Erica’s course I feel so much more confident, comfortable and knowledgeable. She goes into depth of all pregnancy and postpartum issues and gives amazing example exercises that work for each. The workbook she provides has all the information she goes over her zoom meetings and you also get access to her online teaching videos, which are fabulous! Thank you so much Erica, it was a pleasure working with you and can’t wait to take your injuries/ special populations course next!”

Candace Woolsey

“Erica is an experienced and knowledgeable pilates instructor that is attentive and accommodating. Given her credentials and numerous certifications, I knew her pre and post natal workshop would be informative and relevant moving forward working with women. She uses multiple tools within the workshop to accommodate every style of learner. She utilizes zoom, recordings, and very thought-out curated manuals and instructional videos. She was very informative and supportive with answering questions and quick to respond when questions were asked after trainings. I now feel more prepared to support women in their journey to motherhood and I believe the curriculum studied in this workshop utilizes information to be used on any clientele given the anatomy and pilates programming. Erica has coached me through career changes, and has encouraged me to stick up for myself within my pilates business, I can’t thank her enough for her support through this curriculum and in everyday life.”

“Erica’s course helped me gain the the confidence I needed to safely work with Pre/Postnatal clients. It is comprehensive, evidence based, and up-to-date with useful information. The manual was well-written and easy to follow. She provided videos to go along with each weeks lecture which was very helpful. Erica’s wealth of knowledge and training experience is more than you can get from books and manuals. I would highly recommend this intensive course.”
