About Raven

I'm Rae, a strength coach in Dallas who works with women at every stage: pregnant, postpartum, navigating PMOS, or in perimenopause and menopause. I have a ProNatal Fitness pre- and postnatal certification, and my coaching is hormone-informed. I plan around how you're actually doing, including your sleep, stress, symptoms, and recovery, instead of handing you a generic template.

A typical session starts with a quick check-in on your energy, sleep, and anything that feels off that day. Then we move into a warm-up and strength work built around your plan. I use effort-based training (RPE), so a tough week gets a slightly lighter session instead of a failed one, and a great week lets us push. I log your sessions, wins, and modifications so changes are based on what's really happening. Every client gets a monthly progress report, and in-person clients also get monthly InBody scans and nutrition guidance from the start.

My favorite clients are women who want to feel strong and capable and are tired of programs that ignore how their bodies work. That includes women returning to lifting after birth, women who've been told to "just take it easy," and women who want to build muscle and bone as hormones shift. I coordinate with your OB, midwife, pelvic floor PT, or doctor when that's the right call.

I train in person at Recess Fitness Club, near Lower Greenville, SMU, and Highland Park, and I also offer remote coaching.
