“Becoming a 4TFM Instructor has been incredibly rewarding for me. It allows me to offer my clients not only suitable exercises but also valuable education throughout their pregnancy journey. These are things that I personally wished I had known during my own pregnancy. It's fulfilling to empower expecting mothers with the knowledge and support they need to navigate this special time with confidence and ease.”
