Meet Ian

My wife, Caitlin, grew up in Uxbridge. After meeting in university, we moved here in 2012 to start a family and now have two amazing, busy boys.

​

When I began personal training, I worked with all ranges of clients – seniors, teenager hockey players, middle-aged women, outdoorsy baby boomers, and active young adults. But when Caitlin became pregnant with our first child, I started studying to help her recover happily and healthily from child birth.

​

I was stunned to learn about the various issues moms face after childbirth. It was much more complex than simply losing a few pounds and fitting back into a favourite outfit. Incontinence, pelvic-organ prolapse, disastasis recti split (a separation of the abdominal wall, i.e. “mummy tummy”), back pain, and pelvic girdle pain are just a few problems post-partum women frequently encounter. I was angry and frustrated when I realized most women are being told by doctors, family members, or friends that they've had a baby and should “Just deal with it.” Had I not been in the health industry, Cait would have suffered the same fate, and it's unfair to all the other hardworking moms out there.

​

So now I'm a dad helping moms of all ages heal and strengthen their pre- and post-baby bodies, smartly and safely. Moms are beloved for wholly and selflessly giving to their children and families; it's my job to help them prioritize their own health and everyday quality of life too.
