Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Ashley Raccanello has over 15 years of experience as a personal trainer and holistic lifestyle coach. One of Ashley's first clients was a woman who was six months pregnant. She was quickly hooked on the challenges and rewards of working with the unique demographic of women who are currently or recently pregnant. While Ashley started her training career with a typical "no pain, no gain" philosophy, she learned early on that it was not fulfilling for her clients or for herself. Her current approach is holistic, and looks much deeper. She begins with a comprehensive wellness evaluation, including postural assessment, muscle imbalances, and nutritional information. From that starting point, she designs a program tailored to your needs and goals. Ashley is ACE CPT and CHEK HLC certified and Pre/Post Natal Master Trainer. She is also a graduate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition as a certified Health Coach.
I love working with clients through the good, the bad and the ugly. Helping my clients navigate all of life's challenges and still keep their health and wellness a priority is where I find the most fulfillment in what I do.

Ashley is wonderful to work with, and I have achieved amazing results. My posture is greatly improved, and I am strong and fit. Her knowledge is endless, and she is just so passionate about health and fitness. I have rarely done the same exercise in years, so the workouts are challenging, and she manages to make it all so much fun! I wanted to get into the best shape of my life before pregnancy and now I'm ready to maintain a healthy and fit one! I highly recommend Ashley as a personal trainer and holistic life coach.
I finally became pregnant after many rounds of IVF (which can be a killer hormone-wise - Ash kept me even-keeled!). Ashley's knowledge of the proper exercises and nutrition for every stage of my pregnancy kept me comfortable, confident and fit throughout. I had no backaches, sciatic pain or anything! I worked out until the day I went in to the hospital. I gained 35 lbs - totally appropriate for my size... and lost all the weight within 4 weeks of delivery thanks to my excellent shape going in, and recovered quickly from a long labor and C section. I'm looking forward to getting back to my old self and have no doubt it will be a snap thanks to the muscles that were prepped properly.
*and another update! I moved to Palo Alto recently but didn't want to give up working with Ashley... So we have been doing a FaceTime session twice a week. I bought a few weights, a mat, & a ball and Ashley puts me through the same paces - at home! It's thrilling to not lose any travel time and still have to keep that trainer apt. She mixes it up every time (which I could never do on my own!) and my post preg body continues to improve - I'm already below my starting weight and 5 lbs from my ideal) Most importantly, I can feel my stamina and strength improving as I pick up and play with my ever growing boy.

Ashley is awesome! I originally found her through Yelp. She's helping me transform my body by kicking my butt 3 times a week. Thanks to her challenging sessions, I've lost nearly 25 lbs and over 15 inches. I had gained about 60 lbs over the last 7 years, and had finally reached the point that I knew I needed/wanted to do something about it. I've gone from a size 12 jean to a size 8, and it feels great! She's honest, listens to you, offers great suggestions/alternatives when it comes to food planning, and has a super positive attitude. I love that I can see her at her home gym, and that I always have access to her. Like I said, she's awesome!

Kara, you seriously inspire me. Pushing through and past your comfort zone at each and every session. Also putting in the work outside of our sessions with food, workouts and lifestyle change! Keep it up, girl! I can't wait to see what is in store for YOU.
