4th Trimester Fitness® Method in Northwest Indiana!
Empowering YOU Through Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond
Motherhood is a profound journey — one filled with joy, challenge, and deep transformation. I created Divine Child Yoga to support moms like you during pregnancy and the often-overlooked chapter after birth: the fourth trimester.
My 4th Trimester Fitness® Method (4TFM) classes are designed to help you heal, reconnect with your body, and feel strong again — physically, emotionally, and mentally. Whether you're navigating early postpartum or years into motherhood, I’m here to walk alongside you as you rebuild from the inside out.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Hey, I'm Christie! I'm a certified 4TFM Instructor and am SO excited to bring these classes to the NWI mom community!
After dealing with my own pain and struggles during pregnancy and postpartum, I realized just how little many moms know about birth and postpartum until they are really in the thick of it, and the little support there is for self-advocacy. I want every mom to feel strong, empowered and capable in body and mind!
I also have training as a Birth & Postpartum Doula and Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga Teacher. 4th Trimester Fitness® Method has been the perfect way for me to blend my passion for movement and fitness with the dedication and support of pregnant and new mommas!
