About Me.
Hi! My name is Yvonne. I am a Chicago suburbs-based mother of 2, a wife, a brand marketer, a fitness and movement enthusiast, and so much more!
My fitness journey began at a young age, part of my training as a competitive soccer player. While always a part of me, it wasn’t until I moved to Chicago and began my professional career that I truly developed a love for fitness and movement. It became a powerful part of my daily life, and I craved to know and experience more. In 2016, I completed Yoga Sculpt Teacher Training and in 2017 became a group-fitness instructor at Shred415 — this is where I found my passion for training others in something that I love.
Naturally, when I became pregnant in 2020, I was determined to keep my body strong (while embracing the inevitable changes) and had goals of returning to fitness postpartum. Given my own pregnancy experience, labor, and postpartum journey, in 2022 I sought out Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist certification because I wanted to better educate myself and to empower women to bring awareness to their body.
My goal is to help women feel their best, and empower them to feel comfortable staying active during pregnancy and postpartum <3.
