What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Strong as a Mother is the guide I wish I had—medically grounded, athlete-tested, and deeply empowering. It gives you clear, confidence-building guidance to keep moving throughout pregnancy and into postpartum.”
—Allyson Felix, 11-time Olympic medalist, cofounder of Saysh, cofounder of Always Alpha
“As essential to me in my pregnancy as a pair of running shoes is in a marathon buildup! I honestly don’t know what I would do without this guidance—it’s transformed my entire pregnancy experience from uncertainty to complete confidence.”
—Jordan Hogan, Boston Marathon bronze medalist
“The pregnancy book that finally answers ‘what can I actually do?’ instead of listing everything you can’t. Strong as a Mother empowers women with expert, science-backed guidance to move with confidence, strength, and trust in their bodies—during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.”
—Dr. Rachel Goldman, PhD clinical psychologist and author of When Life Happens
“It’s an invaluable resource for any athlete navigating training during pregnancy and rebuilding post-partum…”
