We are certified in pre- and postnatal fitness, providing moms with a range of stroller-friendly, strength-training, and HIIT classes plus year-round Run Club.

Best tip for new parents:
We often get asked, “So how exactly do you make new mom friends?” And the answer is really quite simple- keep showing up. At work, at one of our Stroller Strides class, at a new church or synagogue, at playgroup, at the library, or with a new acquaintance. Keep showing up. The more opportunities you give yourself to converse, to connect, to see a familiar face- the more often you’ll be that familiar face for others. It’s the way we begin to build community and those friendships start to form naturally.

Roseanne Ebert has over 18 years of birthing experience as a Doula, attending 650+ births. She has been a DONA certified Birth Doula since 2005, trained as a Lamaze Childbirth Educator in 2009 and as a Lactation Counselor in 2012. Since she was a little girl, she has been passionate about all things Mother/Baby. Roseanne is blessed with 3 beautiful children of her own and it has been her own journey to (and through) motherhood that has taken her to this incredible point in her life.
Birth Philosophy:
The best births are those where we walk away with not only a healthy mother and child but a dad that is at peace, and maybe even joyful about the way it all unfolded. In all likelihood this means mother was well supported, respected and loved deeply through her journey. THAT is perfection!
