In today's busy world, maintaining fitness and nutrition during pregnancy and the postpartum period can be incredibly challenging. However, Tonya Holmes, a certified prenatal and postnatal fitness and nutrition coach, has dedicated herself to helping women navigate these crucial stages of motherhood. With her personal experience and professional expertise, Tonya is a beacon of knowledge and support for expecting and new moms.

Tonya Holmes has been coaching women online for over four years and recently expanded her services to include in-person coaching. Her journey into fitness began five months postpartum after delivering her son prematurely at 27 weeks due to preeclampsia. Her son spent a challenging 84 days in the NICU and returned home as COVID-19 surged. Driven by her experiences and a newfound passion for fitness, Tonya now aims to educate others on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle before, during, and after pregnancy.

In addition to fitness, Tonya also provides invaluable guidance on nutrition during pregnancy. She highlights the importance of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and macronutrients (fats, carbs, and proteins) for fetal growth and development. Her nutrition plans address the increased calorie needs during different trimesters and debunk myths like "eating for two."
