Ariana Heller

Ariana has always been an active person, running, climbing, doing yoga and boot camp, but 14 weeks into her pregnancy, she had surgery and was put on modified bedrest. Her fitness completely went out the door. She discovered Baby Boot Camp when she was ready to jump back into exercise. It provided her the knowledge and options to start slowly and build her strength and endurance back, while also giving her the challenge she needed when she got her strength back. The fresh air and the relationships she built with other moms helped her stave off the isolation of the early days of being home alone with her two babies and got her body feeling good again. She found herself going even after her kids, now 3.5 years old, were in preschool. The next step for Ariana was to teach. As a clinical psychologist she realized that exercise, with the support of other moms, in the fresh air is one of the most therapeutic things she has done for herself and she hopes to give this to other parents.
