Michelle Wade, PCES

Certified Pilates Instructor
Michelle Wade, PCES
Michelle is a Mom of 2 active boys, a Pilates instructor, a former lacrosse player, and enjoys running/walking with her big double stroller, biking, yoga, etc.
After having two kids (C Section & VBAC), she wanted (needed) to find a prenatal/postnatal training. Her pre-pregnancy exercises were not helping her regain her strength and she knew she needed to focus on rehabbing her core and pelvic floor. After researching various online trainers and programs, she found Sarah’s program and was thoroughly impressed.
Both Sarah's Core Exercise Solutions offerings and her PCES certification are an abundance of information, she has done all of the research, and it enabled Michelle to strengthen herself and help women of all stages of life with all different backgrounds/experiences. She is so thankful for all that Sarah's programs have done for her and she is excited to put her certification to use helping women become strong and thrive.

Rebecca is a stay at home mom of 4 who loves traveling the world, growing things in the ground, everything summer, and a great thrift shop.
After the birth of her 2nd child, she noticed a gap in her abdominal muscles but could never get answers from doctors about what it was or how to fix it. She finally found Sarah's program after the birth of her 4th and began the road to healing. The program changed the way she thinks about her body. and exercise.
Rebecca loves seeing women find strength they didn't know they had and is thrilled to be part of the team.
