"Tanya’s workshop was timely and informative both for my work as a CNM and my role as a newly postpartum mother for the first time. Her passion to help women achieve better fitness and therefore outcomes during the perinatal period is inspiring!"

"Tanya's workshop gave me a great, grounded understanding of perinatal fitness and exercise. From busting myths to moving our bodies, I'd recommend it to any birth worker!"

-C.M. (Doula)

"This workshop was a great introduction to evidence-based postpartum fitness for birth workers. We covered material that I haven't gotten before in doula trainings. I highly recommend this workshop for anyone serving pregnant people who wishes to learn more about how to promote health and healing of their clients in the postpartum phase. I also recommend Mother Wit Maternity as a resource to refer clients to!"
