  • Materra Method Online has been such a valuable part of my self care toolkit

    Materra Method Online has been such a valuable part of my self care toolkit. As a busy mom of two young kids, I don’t always have the time to make it to a workout class in person. The online platform allows me to pick and choose what works for me in that moment, from how much time I have to how I’m looking to feel that day. I’ve used it for wind downs after bedtime, for quick cardio during nap time, and even for some feel good movement when I’m traveling. The combination of convenience, effective movement, and knowing it’s meeting me where I am at this stage of motherhood brings me to the platform multiple times a week!

  • This video platform is everything a busy mom needs

    This video platform is everything a busy mom needs! It’s so nice to throw on a quick workout early in the morning before the littles wake up, at nap time or right before bed. Abby’s consistent reminders keep me in the correct form, making my short windows of opportunity much more efficient.

  • Abby has given me the tools and confidence to start my post baby exercise journey

    After having my baby, I wanted to start working out again but I was so lost on where to start. My post-baby body was so different than my pre-baby body and I’d heard some exercises could make things worse. So I was thrilled to have Abby’s expertise. After only 3 times working with her, I already noticed a huge improvement in my diastasis recti and less low back pain. Abby has given me the tools and confidence to start my post baby exercise journey!

  • I have learned small movements and adjustments make a big difference

    Through Abby’s classes, I have learned small movements and adjustments make a big difference. Learning proper breath and posture have relieved back, shoulder and hip pain and have engaged core muscles as I move through my day. Abby’s knowledge and her ability to share it with a group of women with varying physical concerns made me feel comfortable and empowered!
