Reviews

"As a physician, I am impressed by the methodical approach and in-depth knowledge base reflected in Exercise for Pregnancy and Beyond. As a husband, I can attest to its efficacy during each of my wife's pregnancies and postpartum periods."

"Elizabeth's book not only prepared me physically for labor and delivery, but gave me confidence to have a natural childbirth. I even used some of her exercises to help alleviate the pain of back labor. After having my baby, I especially found the exercise log sheets helpful in tracking my postpartum exercises that she suggests. I feel so fortunate to have tapped Elizabeth's incredible wealth of knowledge on what my pre- and post- pregnancy body is able to achieve."
-A. Cumming, client

"Elizabeth: Wonderful book! I discovered the Pilates mat work when I was pregnant with my first daughter (who is now 25!). I did the exercises with joy and had a normal birth. I'm so happy to see that you've made this powerful mind-body system available for all pregnant women. Pilates is still the mainstay of my exercise program."
