Mom and Baby Fitness Testimonials
♥ "With being a new mom and having to work part-time, it's difficult to find the time to work out and exercise. With the help of Thank You Mommy Wellness Center I am able to participate in work out classes that challange my body giving me a great work out while at the same time I can spend quality time bonding with my son (5 months).
I find the Yummy, Tummy Butt and Thighs class continually challenges me and that I see the results for my efforts. I also love the possitive energy and getting to know all the other great moms.
The unique class designs and Caroline's positive energy make these workouts both effective and a lot of fun. What better way to set a great example for our babies than to involve them in our exercise routine right from the beginning!"
♥ I always wanted to have something good in my life.. I love exercise classes. After I saw you, your personality gave me strength to come to your class. When I come to your class it always gives me so much energy and happiness for being a mom. I was thinking everything negatively (mentally and financially) ..But after I come to your class I’m totally changed. I love the way you always welcome me to your class, even if you were busy with something you never forgot to say "Hi Madhu " to me. ..
You are a very kind person and I will try to come to your classes every day. I love being around you.
Cheers
Madhu & little Mayon
♥ When I first met Caroline from Thank You Mommy Wellness, I had two kids under 2 and felt exhausted, overwhelmed and unhappy with how my post pregnant body looked. As a trained Kinesiologist, Caroline is extremely knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition and has identified my fitness needs and developed a training plan specifically for me. Since working with Caroline, I am more energetic, motivated to stay on track and I feel better about my body image. Thank you Caroline (and little Jacklyn)!

♥ "I am so glad that I found Caroline and Thank You Mommy Wellness. I started going to classes about 6 weeks after my daughter was born, after having gained over 40 pounds during my pregnancy despite eating well and exercising throughout. (I eventually stopped weighing myself because it was too frustrating!) I was determined to recover my familiar body, and do it in a healthy way.
Caroline's understands being a Mom and makes everything really comfortable. There's no judgment for how you are or what you can do. She always goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and free to do what you need for yourself and your baby. Even if I was going to be late because my daughter decided she needed a marathon breastfeeding session right before I left the house, I could still go, knowing Caroline would welcome me in the middle of class. This level of acceptance is empowering and got me through the early months when it can be really tough to commit to anything!
Now that my daughter is 16 months, we're still enjoying classes together. I lost all the weight, and then some! I have a wonderful energy level and better upper body strength than ever before. I feel like I've completely recovered my old body, not just in the way I look but also in my strength and mobility. I feel confident and strong, and proud of myself for committing to my own health and setting a healthy example for my daughter.
Caroline has been an important part of that, and I know she'll continue to be an important part of my life throughout my childbearing years."

Prenatal Yoga Testimonials
♥ "I have really enjoyed the prenatal yoga - so much so that I change my plans so that I can attend. Each week I leave not only feeling rested but also feeling at ease with my current state of pregnancy. I like how Caroline encourages support and connections among the women in the class.
My whole body feels "tender"- back, abs, legs. The prenantal yoga helps to gently alleviate any muscle tightness and general discomfort that comes with growing a bundle of joy. It makes me feel a much stronger connection with my growing baby too. I feel so refreshed, relaxed and physically comfortable when I leave class every week. These are three things that are hard to come by in latter stages of my pregnancy!"
♥ I have thoroughly enjoyed Caroline's prenatal yoga classes. Her passion for parenting and vast fitness knowledge make her classes inspiring and challenging. I always leave feeling so much better than when I arrived. The classes are a great way to meet new moms and care of your changing body. I’ve had a wonderful pregnancy and the classes have definitely been a large contributing factor.

More Prenatal Yoga Testimonials
♥ Before I began the prenatal yoga classes with Caroline, I was feeling very tired and stressed from my work and it was making me anxious for my baby. I had been doing yoga for a couple of years before I got pregnant and liked to exercise and be active in my life. I was so glad to find Caroline's Prenatal Yoga Classes sign while walking on Columbia street one day, because I had been searching for a way to stay active during my pregnancy for a couple of months already.
The classes have helped me to refocus on good breathing, posture and relaxation, what I really needed at that time ! Caroline's classes are relaxing, provide just enough challenge and the breathing exercises helped me stay focused on my baby, breathing away all my worries. The simple exercises were easy to do at home as well, so I continued even on days with no classes.
I took the yoga classes from 20 weeks of pregnancy to the delivery, and I truly believe that they helped me a lot to have a very positive birthing experience, even if it took 41 hours ! I delivered my 8 pounds 4 onces little boy completely naturally and was able to breath thru all of my contractions. The recovery after the birth wasn't long either, after a couple of days, I felt more energized and wanted to go out ! Now I am looking forward to the mommy and baby classes with my little guy and I reccomended the prenatal classes to my pregnant sister in law.
Thanks to Caroline's wonderful baby belly classes!
