Are you afraid that your biggest fears about motherhood are coming true?
That you’re officially doomed to spend the rest of your life unhappy with your body and stuck in a constant mental battle with yourself as you attempt to get back to where you were before?
Are you:
not feeling great in your body lately?
fearful that if you don’t take control now that you’ll eventually pass the point of no return?
struggling with birth-related injuries that are preventing you from being as active, energized, and fit as you want to be?
craving to feel confident and comfortable in your skin again?
Whether you’re the mom who is doing everything she can to stay on top, or the mom who feels buried beneath the never-ending demands of motherhood,
I want you to know that…
This transition you’re in is epic.
It’s testing you in every way, shape, and form.
MOTHERHOOD IS A TRUE RECKONING WITH YOUR BODY, YOUR PRIORITIES, AND WITH YOUR DESIRES.
How you feel in your body
impacts your self-worth, how you show up in your marriage, and your presence with the people you love.
I know you can’t help but feel like motherhood has set you back with your fitness goals, and I want you to know...
THERE IS NO GOING BACK.
THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH — TO A PLACE WHERE YOU FEEL WHOLE, EMBODIED, STRONG AND MORE IN HARMONY WITH YOUR BODY THAN YOU’VE EVER BEEN BEFORE.
There is a major roadblock that prevents women from breaking through to that place, though, and that’s this: mainstream fitness advice directed toward women makes matters worse — especially for mothers.
Mainstream fitness advice will tell you to push through, to override your body’s signals, to head to that cardio-style mommy bootcamp, and to rely on some fad diet. All while setting you up for negative long-term health consequences that could be avoided altogether!
Mainstream fitness advice doesn’t:
take into consideration a mother’s unique nutritional needs
address the need for a mother to have an individual postural postpartum assessment before hitting the gym or working out again
work in harmony with the monthly ebb and flow of a woman’s cycle or with the distinct and changing seasons (or phases) of motherhood
promote the need for honoring rest and repair work in the fourth trimester, but instead encourages women to get back to their old selves ASAP
support, nourish, or center a mother’s long-term hormonal health
promote much outside of quick fixes and fad diets all while leading women further from real sustainable transformation and results!
YOUR FEMALE BODY IS A TRULY POWERFUL AND DELICATE INTEGRATIVE SYSTEM THAT, AFTER UNDERGOING THE DEMANDING PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES OF CHILDBIRTH, REQUIRES A LEVEL OF PERSONALIZED CARE THAT’S NOT WIDELY PROMOTED, OR EVEN KNOWN ABOUT!
Hi, I’m Cynthia-
Most mothers don’t even know that there’s a path OUTSIDE of mainstream fitness and health advice, until they’ve experienced some sort of wake-up call that involves questioning everything.
For me, discovering how to live differently after the birth of my daughter, changed my entire life. With my readers and my clients I call my approach living in the feminine.
Motherhood challenged me, of course, but it also connected me deeper to my body. It opened the door for me to walk a path to even greater health than ever before.
It’s a lie that women can’t have results unless they work themselves into exhaustion, and it’s also a lie that women need to totally let themselves go in order to be devoted mothers.
Over the course of the last 5 years,
I have come to understand that motherhood is an invitation for you to shed these lies you’ve been told, and step into a version of yourself who deeply thrives in motherhood.
Cynthia Spenla is a Chek Certified Holistic Lifestyle and Exercise Coach who Specializes in Health and Performance for Mothers.
She designs effective fitness programs that centralize both the female hormonal cycle and the complexities of motherhood so her clients can create the sculpted, strong, and attractive bodies they want without destroying their health, sacrificing their sleep, or disrupting their hormones in the process.
Here’s what you, as a mother, actually need as you navigate your return into vitality and feeling great in your body again:
You need...
to be individually assessed after birth to ensure that you don’t exacerbate injuries and structural imbalances
reparative stabilization work to heal your core and to correct postural imbalances that can not only lead to injury but also drastically reduce your ability to achieve results.
strength training and corrective exercise
a nutrition and lifestyle program that honors not only your female hormonal flow,
but your unique flow in motherhood, too!
Let’s take a moment to imagine for a second,
What life would be like for you if you woke up feeling good in your body and content in the phase of motherhood you’re in.
Imagine looking in the mirror and feeling comfortable in your skin, radiating vitality, feeling sexy again, and knowing that yes, you have healed! Imagine being able to see the tangible progress you’re making, and the sense of power that gives you!
Imagine no longer fighting that battle between your present and your past. Imagine not trying to go back in time anymore, to before the baby, but instead feeling content with being exactly where you are now.
Imagine feeling so connected to your body and it’s rhythms that you know exactly what you need, when you need it, and how to provide that nourishment and care for yourself.
INTRODUCING:
Trailblazer
The Strength Training Intensive for the Woman Who Is Ready to Redefine Her Body and Her Path in Motherhood
During our time together, I will steer you away from harmful and ineffective women’s health advice. I will guide you, instead, down a path of true and deep restorative healing — a path that leads to you feeling content and happy in your body again.
Don’t know how to lift? I got you. I will empower you with an awareness of the proper technique and form you need to feel confident lifting in the gym, or at home.
You won’t have to worry about spending countless hours (and the start-up attempts that follow) trying to sift through all the bad advice out there, or trying to do it all yourself on one of those postpartum fitness apps or in a group exercise class setting.
You won’t have to worry about doing the wrong exercises for where you’re at, or about doing them in the wrong way!
You won’t have to worry about potentially making matters worse for yourself, whether it be through an injury related to skipping the rehab work, or through following unhelpful nutritional advice.
You KNOW you need a new fitness + motherhood rhythm NOW, and I’m going to give you clear direction on how to establish that new rhythm and meet your goals.
Are you ready?
Working with me is
ABOUT COMING INTO THIS MOMENT FULLY, EMBRACING MOTHERHOOD, AND MAKING THE DECISION THAT YOU’RE GOING TO THRIVE AND YOU’RE GOING TO THRIVE RIGHT NOW.
During our time together, I will be there with you…

helping you overcome the common hurdles that stop so many women from breaking through into the results they want
helping you learn how to rest, when to rest, and why you need to build in rest
helping you to establish a consistent rhythm of self-care that creates harmony in both your hormonal cycle and in your motherhood flow

“Mainstream info gave me the impression that most of us are ready to start back up where we left off once we hit that magical six weeks postpartum. I made that mistake with my first child and ended up injured and feeling behind.”
-Maria
This is not for you if you...
believe you don’t have time to exercise or take care of yourself
refuse to cook for yourself or buy real food
aren’t willing to shift the priorities in your life
aren’t willing to get creative to secure the time you need to accomplish your goals

believe that someone other than you is going to make this happen
-
To be the most effective, I have my Trailblazer clients purchase blocks of coaching/training hours. The hours they purchase are then utilized to assess, coach, train, educate, and provide accountability. The Trailblazer intensive is an investment that requires a minimum purchase of 10 hours at $1,885. A client might also decide to purchase 20 hours upfront to benefit from a savings of 20%.
-
Yes, I can break your balance into 3 easy installments.
-
Great question! After your initial hours have been utilized you’re then free to renew another ten (or more) hours, and we will continue on your journey from exactly where we left off. This system allows me to customize my approach with my clients in the most effective way.
-
You can walk that path, sure. I tried to walk that path. At about 15 months postpartum, when I was working out hard and clinging to my old approach, my core was poking out in the shape of a dome, my cycle was erratic, and I wasn’t getting anywhere, I finally surrendered and sought help from a reputable trainer who understood a woman’s transition into motherhood, both psychologically and physiologically. Seeking her help and wisdom changed everything for me and has inspired me to do the work I’m offering to you here.
-
We will design your program around what gym equipment you have available. As your program progresses and your mom flow allows you easier access to time at the gym again, we can start to work that into your package. It all depends on where you’re at, and what your goals are. I typically encourage my clients to set themselves up with a good home gym and I’d be happy to help you with that!
-
Oftentimes it’s inner core instability, incorrect exercise, and incorrect form that contributes to injury. I can help you to assess what’s going on, help restore your proper core functioning, and teach you the proper technique for the exercises that are right for your body.
-
I love to work with my clients in person (I’m in Sedona, Arizona) however, if you’re outside of my area and want to secure my help, there are still ways we can do that effectively. Simply submit your application today, and we’ll go from there.
-
Comparing 1:1 individualized support to a generic fitness class is comparing apples to oranges. The latter doesn’t include hands-on training that’s tailored uniquely to you, your body, and your goals.
-
Yes! Together we’ll develop a customized strength training program for you, and we’ll work to help you make the nutritional and lifestyle changes needed to reach your goal!
