One-on-one personal training and yoga, with a specialty in pregnancy and postpartum. Strong isn't a look, it's a feeling.
Whether you're beginning your fitness journey, navigating pregnancy or postpartum, coming back from an injury, or chasing a specific goal, we build a plan that fits your life.
Learn to train safely through every trimester. Then rebuild your core postpartum with hands-on coaching grounded in the latest research. This is what I do best and what I'm most passionate about.
Strength, mobility, and conditioning at home, a local park, or wherever feels right for you. I bring the equipment.
Sessions at a private training studio in West Vancouver. Great for progressive strength work and barbell training.
Vinyasa flow for strength and breath or deep yin for fascia and recovery. Available virtually.
Patient, intentional coaching with a heavy focus on form and on teaching you how each movement should actually feel in your body. Pregnancy and postpartum is my specialty and passion.
Ellen completely changed how I think about training. I came to her after years of feeling beat up by workouts, and now I actually look forward to the work. She's the real deal.
Ellen has helped me so much over the past decade — still pushing me to increase the weights, even in my 70s! Can't recommend her enough.
Ellen is great, she has a really great energy, super informative without it being overwhelming, plus it's a great workout and stretch. I think this is what's missing in perinatal care.
Having been a client for over 10 years, I have been constantly challenged. I recently had a total knee replacement and the strength I developed before surgery helped me get back on my feet quickly. My trainer's thorough knowledge of the body gave me the confidence to trust my rehab to them.
After my last pregnancy I saw a pelvic floor physio for 10 sessions — we covered about half of what Ellen covered in a 2-hour workshop. She's friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely just wants to help you improve.
The Strong Mom sessions and workshop have been a game changer for my postpartum recovery. Oak Movement taught me what my core actually is and gave me an inclusive, challenging, and fun way to get strong after having my babies.
