Welcome to The Danaher Method Mamas Community!
Whether you’re expecting or have a little one(s), this is a place for you!
Having a safe and effective movement practice, understanding your body's anatomy and having a space to take care of yourself will support a healthy pregnancy, labor and postpartum recovery. This will also prepare you for the physical and mental demands of motherhood.
A little about me, I’m a trained Pilates teacher, Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor and Self-Myofascial Release Practitioner. I am a mom to a baby boy born in late 2025. I became a mom later in life, pregnant at 40 (surprise!) and 41 when my son was born. There is so much information in the pregnancy and postpartum space (plus a lot of noise and myths). In my work with expecting and postpartum moms, I use my education and experience to clarify that information so moms can take care of themselves safely and effectively.

Postpartum Class Cohorts
Postpartum Cohorts are organized seasonally. Groups meet weekly for a personalized movement class. Classes emphasize core rebuilding, understanding intra-abdominal pressure thru diaphragmatic breathing, strengthening the muscles overused while holding and feeding baby and restorative self-myofascial release. Together we build confidence in your postpartum body to feel safe and empowered in movement (and in life!)
This class is for you if you are under 2 years postpartum or if you're still experiencing symptoms related to pregnancy & childbirth.
The capacity for this class is limited to ensure each client has personalized attention. Cohorts meet for 5-8 weeks with an option to continue into the next cohort.
In addition to in-person classes, supplemental classes from our online library are provided so you can continue to practice at home.

Prenatal Classes
Prenatal classes are currently offered on our online library. Classes are organized by trimester - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and classes appropriate for all trimesters. These prenatal classes include The Danaher Method core principles - Pilates, strength training, self-myofascial release - with an added focus on diaphragmatic breathing, anatomy and physiology of the pelvic floor and how to incorporate these foundations into movement during your pregnancy. Most of these classes were filmed during Catherine’s own pregnancy.

If you’re interested in training with Catherine 1:1 or participating in a prenatal group class inquire here.

TDM Mamas Newsletter
Our monthly(ish) email that goes out to the TDM mom community. Here we talk about pre-natal and postpartum health, breathing, pelvic floors and more.
“This pelvic floor focused strength class has been so instrumental to my journey 2 years after having my firstborn and actively going through a second pregnancy. Catherine dedicates her time learning about each member’s body and helps build a workout plan that strengthens the core and pelvic muscles. She also helps explain how each muscle group works in clear detail and incorporates breathwork techniques to help reinforce the muscles. I highly recommend this class for all new moms, moms in general or anyone looking to reconnect with their body !!! "
