Hi, I'm Shannon! Owner of Jungle Gym Movement LLC. I am a mother of two wonderful boys. My husband, two boys, husky Kylo and kitties live in the beautiful San Luis Valley in Southern Colorado. 

 

I am a NASM CPT, and prenatal, postpartum corrective exercise specialist through CES. I bring a decade of experience in postural alignment bodywork and pelvic balancing from my LMT career. 5 years training as a competitive bodybuilder and athlete. As well as the last couple years as a certified personal trainer working specifically with mothers.  

 

When my first baby entered my life, I found myself navigating the challenges of being a single mother with limited childcare and resources. I felt overwhelmed and lost in the beginning, but I knew I would not let this stop me from taking care of myself and doing what I love. 

 

Following my 8-week recovery post birth, I dedicated several months to honing in on breath coordination, postural alignment training, core stability, and pelvic floor exercises. My at-home and outdoor workouts, lasting anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes, became a cornerstone of my routine during the first 10 months of my son's life.

 

After just two months, a newfound joy and confidence emerged as I felt reconnected to my body and self. Including my son in my workouts proved to be not just a bonding experience but also a source of fun and discovery. From playful games to exploring nature together, our sessions became a shared adventure that evolved with each stage of his growth.

 

We were blessed this year with our second child. Again rebirthing myself as a woman deepening into the beauty of motherhood. I still continue my quick and effective breathwork, self care, and workouts. I aim for 1-3 times a week with my kids, and 1 session on the weekend when papa is home with the boys.

 

It is now my passion to share the knowledge I’ve learned, and the encouragement of prioritizing oneself through self care and throughly enjoying motherhood!
