Maggie Yount believes that a person giving birth is someone experiencing and embodying true power. Even if you felt disempowered during your birth, you are not alone, and you can heal in a way that fully restores and strengthens your power and your sense of self.
Maggie works with clients at every stage of the perinatal journey, empowering them to feel strong and confident to navigate pregnancy, their birthing experience, and postpartum recovery with ease.
By using a holistic approach that starts with corrective exercise, we can balance your physical body, use nutrition and mindfulness in complementary ways, and strengthen your mind-body connections to make all of your movements feel and function better.
Maggie is a Certified Personal Trainer, a Pre & Postnatal Corrective Exercise Specialist, a Pre & Postnatal Diastasis and Core Consultant, and a Certified Professional Birth Educator. She has also completed the Level 1 TriggerPoint Therapy Foam Rolling course, and Diastasis Done Differently with Antony Lo - The Physio Detective.
“When the day came to deliver our little girl everything Maggie taught me came flooding in and made ALL THE DIFFERENCE in how I navigated the experience with my midwives and own body.”
~ Kristen Beeler, OHIO

“Maggie gave me exercises to do at home to not only correct my physical discomforts but to improve my mindset as well. Can’t recommend her enough!”
~ Aude Laliberté, QUEBEC, CANADA
Aside from my official qualifications, I’ve experienced two wildly different hospital births - one unplanned C-section, one unmedicated vaginal birth - to bring my sons into this world. Those two births turned out to be two of the most joyful and, yes, healing experiences of my life, even though they were also imperfect and messy.
My preparation for these births, my knowledge of my rights in the hospital as a birthing mother, and my confidence rooted in the education I’d had allowed me to advocate for myself and my babies, and enabled me to have largely positive birth experiences.
”I was able to jump on a trampoline with my 3-year-old and not worry that I would have leaky bladder.
Thanks to Maggie, I can stop calling my lady bits “old and leaky”.”
~ Christine DiPilla - PENNSYLVANIA
Those positive births healed something in me, despite my fears related to hospitals and surgery after the near-fatal car accident that I was in at the age of 23.
That accident left with me brain trauma, fourteen broken bones, and “pre-existing conditions” that made it impossible for me to get health insurance when I moved from Canada to the USA to be with my fiancé six months after it happened.
What it also left me with, however, was a determination to not put my life on hold, to not see myself as a passive victim, and to prove my neurosurgeon wrong by getting completely better when he said I couldn’t.
Over the next seven years, I carefully fused the shattered girl that I was after my accident back together.
I learned how movement, nutrition, and mindfulness all played a huge part in how my body and soul could heal.
And my belief that I didn’t have to stay broken was proven true.
I could live my life, follow my dreams, have children, and be whole and healthy without pain or dysfunction.
It’s my goal for you to feel the same.
