"Caila is a trained professional with the most calming demeanor. Her approach to 1:1's was mindful, calculated and interactive. Caila listens and forms a tailored approach to your own body - which makes the time together both productive and enjoyable. I would HIGHLY recommend Caila for anyone looking for knowledge on specific issues they might be having both pre/post birth- and even someone just looking to better their own knowledge of how best to stay in touch with how to take care of their body during their journey. The tips and "homework" she has tailored for my body are ones that I will practice for years to come. Her work has been a complete game changer for my own body awareness and how best to support my postpartum journey."

"Working with Caila was a game changer! I tried to manage my pregnancy back pain with exercise and physical therapy with mediocre results. Ever since I started working with Caila my pain level is minimal. She modified my exercise and showed proper breathing techniques to protect my back and strength my core. I would recommend her not only to pregnant women but also to anyone struggling with back issues. And an add on... she’s fun to work with."

Working with Caila has helped me become more aware of my body and my movements as I go through the stages of pregnancy. Even from the very first session, I learned so much from Caila and was able to easily incorporate the breathing exercises into my every day routine! Even with my busy schedule, Caila made it easy to connect with her via the app and she provided exercises and educational tools for me throughout the training! I’m very grateful for all that I learned working with Caila and I feel more confident going into the later stages of my pregnancy!

"Caila has been a great help pre and post labor with helping me understand and work through preparing for birth and afterwards, learning how to ease back in without causing any potential damage. She focuses a lot on connecting breath and has been wonderful about finding little ways to incorporate my newborn into the workouts so that I’m not worried about finding a sitter!"

"Caila is very professional and knowledgeable in the areas of prenatal and postnatal exercise. She came to my apartment and worked with me and even allowed my 6 month old to join (no need for a babysitter, yay, convenience). Caila was warm and encouraging and taught me how to connect my breath with my exercises and how to safely incorporate my son into simple workouts that can be done at home. I would highly recommend Caila to help you regain your strength and confidence post baby. "

“The online virtual class is so convenient and so fun! I learned a ton all while keeping my extremely active 9 month old engaged. Caila is very knowledgeable and helped me connect deeper to my core - in just one session I learned tricks that I can apply daily in my everyday movements.“

"I wanted to thank you for everything! Honestly felt awesome at the beach- I feel like those 6 weeks helped give me a new perspective on food+exercise! I did my workouts by the ocean and it was amazing 🙌 THANK YOU"

"You are motivating and helping me meet my goals. I have improved my range of motion, I feel stronger, and my form is better... All thanks to you! You have helped me more than any PT I've been to."

"My husband was carrying a dresser up two flights of stairs and told me to get my son to help him. I helped him instead! I am significantly stronger. Not kidding! He was so shocked I was able to help him. Thanks, coach!!! ❤️"

"Feeling stronger and have a better understanding of what to look for in my food. And I realize that getting in a quick HIIT training is better than doing nothing. Thank you for teaching me new exercises and how to plan my meals better!"

"Caila’s classes are amazing and perfect for anyone wherever you are in your fitness journey. I think the things I like most about the way Caila teaches is that not only do I get a great workout but because of how she teaches I understand my body and how it works when exercising so much more than I ever did, I know why I am doing each exercise and what it is targeting, how I can make it work for me AND most importantly how to Incorporate core breathing! The core breathing is a big part of Caila’s classes and it has been a real game changer for me, it’s something that becomes an invaluable part of her class and also becomes a staple part of any exercise you go on to do! Also Caila is just fab and her classes are a joy! Would HIGHLY recommend!"

"I am back to my pre-baby weight even though I am still breastfeeding! I put on a bikini the other day and felt AWESOME!"
