Meet Sophie Rabaud
I believe in empowering women through strength training, throughout all phases and stages of life. Women underestimate their abilities. I want to change that.
Hi I am Sophie! I sat my qualifications as a Pregnancy and Post partum coach in 2021 and have since worked with women 1 on 1 and online. However, realising not everyone had the time to visit in person with a new baby in tow, or could afford the cost of working with me one on one, Many women would end up going about it by themselves and feel a bit lost or like they werent making progress.
I wanted to create a middle ground, a guideline for returning to exercise that was affordable, could be started in the clients home, where the exercises were interchangeable and adaptable, but slowly progressed clients forward as their strength and confidence in their abilities returned.
