| Meet Martine| Martine is a certified kinesiologist specialized in prenatal and postnatal fitness, with a passion for supporting women along their motherhood j...ourneys, whether trying to conceive, pregnant or postpartum. She is also a mother of three and a wife to a very supporting husband. Martine is the owner and creator of The Mama Movement ( www.themamamovement).Martine created The Mama Movement after recognizing the limited exercise services offered to prenatal and postnatal women in the Moncton Area. It was important for her to create a space for women to feel safe, supported and empowered. The Mama Movement studio invites you to move, connect, learn and share your experiences. Martine truly believes exercise to not only be a physical movement, but an emotional one as well, meant to help us connect with ourselves and our community. Every woman's journey is unique and different and her services reflect these exact needs. She helps women of all fitness levels continue to move in ways that feel good during pregnancy in order to prepare for birth. As for the postpartum journey, she helps guide and support the return to exercise while considering all physical and mental aspects to get you on your way to achieving your goals, whatever these may be. Martine also has a passion for advocating access to education and resources in order to make educated choices and feel empowered as women and mothers. We’re so excited to have Martine bring her expertise to @reconnecthealthcentre. She will be collaborating with us for all our postpartum group physiotherapy classes. We’re so lucky to have her Welcome !!
