Hi Mamas! On November 8, 2013, I became a first time mom to my little boy Lucas. After a long winter with a newborn, I found myself in a rut. I was struggling with the idea of having to take care of my baby, as well as take care of myself. I didn’t figure out how to do both until I started to attend Stroller Strides Classes in the Spring of 2014. I was immediately hooked to the program and welcomed into a community of amazing moms! I am a real mom, who left the hospital with this amazing bundle of joy, but also with a body I no longer recognized. Through Stroller Strides, I witnessed the camaraderie and empowerment shown by mothers to achieve a healthier lifestyle. This fueled my commitment to help others reach their goals, as I continue to work on my own. Our family welcomed another little boy, Noah on May 2, 2018. After his arrival, it was nice to know that my "moms" were there for me when I was ready to return. Stroller Strides has shown me that it truly takes a village, and I am so excited to welcome you into ours!
