1: The Birth of MamasteFit

Welcome to The MamasteFit Podcast!

Join Gina (perinatal fitness trainer and birth doula), and her sister, Roxanne (labor & delivery nurse and student midwife), as they discuss topics that will empower you on your prenatal fitness, birth, and postpartum journeys. In today's episode, we will also introduce Casey Backus, physical therapist/yoga instructor and C-section mom (x2), who was there for the very start of this journey and has been a major part of how MamasteFit came to be!

Listen to learn about how MamasteFit started in SPARTC, a local personal training gym, in the early days of developing our current pre/postnatal fitness programs.  Follow as we share how we expanded to our own brick-and-mortar location, and the challenges involved in offering services to a niche population.  Learn how Gina started to offer birth support, and how Roxanne and Gina navigated owning a business during a global pandemic.

Our podcast shares how to move throughout your pregnancy to stay strong and comfortable (pain is not a requirement of pregnancy!). We will help you understand the science of birth, and how to approach recovery after birth. We share our personal experiences as mothers navigating this stage of our lives, plus our professional expertise as birth workers and fitness professionals with the goal of helping you feel confident as you navigate the perinatal timeframe for an empowering pregnancy, positive birth, and postpartum journey.

We are glad to have you with us on this journey and that you’ve chosen us to support you!
