When Melissa was connected with Nikki she was instantly drawn to her because of her incredible knowledge in the pre & postnatal space (the #1 most requested category on the platform!) In this episode, Nikki shares how she got started in pilates, her journey through IVF, and how she started teaching pre & postnatal before she became a mom. She emphasizes the importance of her educational approach to teaching movement during this very personal and, what can be, sensitive time for new and expecting mamas. 

They get into diastasis recti, explaining what it actually is, and that peeing your pants doesn’t have to be a part of motherhood. She shares some birth prep tips…some of which might surprise you, including how to speak up when it comes to your desired birth process. Nikki really understands that everyone’s journey is unique; her mission is to improve women’s health all together and to shed light on these very important topics. Here’s to making this conversation more and more mainstream!
