  • Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
    November 5, 2020
    It is rare that I buy muffins from a store.  Like really rare. The amount of sugar in a lot of these is quite high, and I have just made a priority in my family to make our own so we know what ingredients are in it.  It’s hard sometimes though, especially when you see a box of granola bars for sale for $1 with a coupon… but believe me, the taste is SO MUCH better when you [Read More...]
  • Money Saving Tips During this Un-PLANNED- emic
    September 17, 2020
    How I Planned My Way Out of This Un-PLANNED-emic To say that these times are unprecedented is an understatement. From recession to Global Pandemic, many families have taken an absolute hit when it comes to finances; mine included. My name is Lila Berg and I’m going to share with you our story and some things we did to make this wild ride a bit easier on our pocketbook. Wait, does anyone [Read More...]
  • Supporting Kids Intellectual and Occupational Wellness
    June 29, 2020
    I think Intellectual and Occupational Wellness can go hand in hand.  We will typically find a career that we enjoy and expands our knowledge and skill strengths. So how do we encourage and teach our children about how to work hard, have a life/ work balance and do something they love now and when they are older? First I think that we need to allow them to try and experience different [Read More...]
  • Importance of Social Wellness: Kids
    June 27, 2020
    Feeling connected and loved by others is important in life. As parents and caregivers, we need to teach and lead by example for showing our children what it means to have a healthy relationship with friends, family and members of our community.  Research shows that people who have a positive and strong social network will live longer, deal with stress better, have a healthier immune system [Read More...]
  • Kids Nutrition: Physical Wellness
    June 26, 2020
    Physical wellness is important because we need to take care of our bodies and for our bodies to function properly in order for us to live a healthy life.  This includes physical activity, proper nutrition, adequate sleep and personal hygiene. Physical activity is so important for children for not only their physical body, but for their mental health. Kids should get 60 minutes a day of [Read More...]

Prenatal Fitness Classes I'm back to offering my Prenatal Fitness Classes 

I'm back to offering my online,and hopefully in-person next month, prenatal group fitness classes!

I've been doing more 1 on 1 Personal Training with my prenatal clients, which has been amazing,but I'm running out of hours in my day to train clients,  so I'm offering my group class again!

Mondays at 6:30pm!

Why wait until May to start? 
Let's start next week!

Message or email me for more information  or go check out my website! Link in my bio
Spring The season I'm constantly reminded of how Spring 

The season I'm constantly reminded of how it's ok to grow and go through life at a different pace as every one else.

This is so true for moms going through their postpartum rehab journey. There are so many factors that will influence this process, so please be kind to yourself and other moms. We have enough mom guilt and don't need to raise our stress levels even more by comparing each other.

This is also true for babies and kids "hitting their milestones." Every child is on their own path,  so stop comparing him/her to your friend's babies or other kids in a mom's group. If you have concerns with the development of your child, please talk to your health care provider and listen to your mom gut feelings!

So as we watch the tulips and plants grow at a different pace this spring, remember, at the end of the day, we will a get to where we are meant to belong ... so don't rush it.

Just enjoy every moment in between!
Core and balance Sometimes you don't need to do Core and balance 

Sometimes you don't need to do complex moves to incorporate more balance and core work into your routine.

With golf season approaching, I've been challenging my body a bit differently.

1. I complete some of my exercises without shoes on. Why? Some shoes, especially if you have orthotics in them, will restrict ankle movement. You can't be locked in a position and expect your body to work as a unit. When you go through certain movements without shoes, you start to notice imbalances within your body, which could be the weak link in the chain. 

2. It's not about how heavy the weight is. Yes, the heavier the weight, the more your body is challenged,  but what is the purpose of the movement you're trying to do and the outcome you're trying to achieve?

3. I'm constantly learning and adapting. I'm way more intuned with my body post knee surgery last year and recognizing my strong and weak points ... and it has paid off! My knee feels way stronger then it ever has!

So today, when you're working out, or trying a new exercise, I want you to pay attention to your body during that movement and not just go through the motions without thinking!

Find the small things daily to be grateful for 💗
Happy Friday Sometimes, actually most of the time Happy Friday

Sometimes, actually most of the time, we need to laugh in our day.

I hope this brought you some joy ... I know it did for me!

Stroll it Out I don't know about you, but I'm exc Stroll it Out

I don't know about you, but I'm excited to start offering my outdoor classes in May!

I'm not sure what they're going to look like in regards to the government restrictions in May, but we will be together enjoying the fresh air and working out!

Stay tuned in the next few weeks for days, times and restrictions. I have a feeling these classes are going to book up quickly!
MOMentum Motion & Insight IN- STUDIO!! Oh my hear MOMentum Motion & Insight
IN- STUDIO!!

Oh my heart feels full this morning as I offered a safe space in my studio for newly postpartum moms to come and learn safe and effective exercises to do post baby AND discuss topics related to motherhood! It has been awhile since I offered a group class in my studio, due to the pandemic!

The pure happiness look on these mom's faces and the positive messages I received shortly after class made me realize why I still do what I do!

So thank you mamas for trusting me and allowing me to be part of your postpartum rehab journey!
My mom painted this Ukrainian egg. It's hard to b My mom painted this Ukrainian egg.

It's hard to believe that we've been celebrating this holiday for 31 years without her, in - person.

I felt her presence today and just needed time by myself to reflect . 

Reflecting on the memories I hold dear in my heart about my mom.

Reflecting on the world we are living in right now.

Reflecting on how precious life is and finding our purpose here on Earth. 

So today,  I am wishing you all a Happy Easter.  I hope you took time out of your day to call or socially distant visit with people you love ❤
Easter treats I hate seeing posts of what you "sh Easter treats

I hate seeing posts of what you "should" or "should not" eat during the holidays.

Posts that tell me what is "healthy" or "not healthy."

Posts that make me feel guilty if heaven forbid I ate chocolate or had a piece of cake that was full fat and sugar.

Before and after pictures of people being on extreme diets and depriving themselves of foods they used to enjoy, but someone told them they could never eat it again (and I'm not talking about allergies or conditions where you have food sensitivities).

Listen up ... we have 1 body to fuel and to take care of on this Earth. Be mindful of what you choose to eat, but DO NOT NEGLECT yourselves with some happiness and eat the dam chocolate if you want to this Easter ... guilt free.

❤ Rachelle
Sometimes you just need to find a tunnel in the mo Sometimes you just need to find a tunnel in the mountains , do a side plank and see the world from a different perspective!

When we see the world from a different view, we realize how grateful we truly are for what we already have in our life.

My heart is full and I'm so happy when I'm in the mountains ❤

Always keep learning!

Whether you are refreshing your memory and skills with recerts or taking new courses to challenge your mindset ... always learn something every day!
