took her interest and specialty further and created new programs

on bed rest. She is prescribed to these moms by their doctors.

growing demand for pre and postnatal fitness information inspired
Birgitta to collaborate with top international medical experts

in managing her health and fitness goals and needs, "Expecting
Fitness™."JOIN
