Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism (P&PA) is a trusted, no-nonsense resource for athletes and coaches navigating the experiences of pregnancy and postpartum.

Our programs provide specialized, research driven guidance to support female athletes in pregnancy, postpartum and across their lifespan.

Most advice for pregnant and postpartum athletes is shortsighted, extreme or outdated. You hear things like "do what you've always done" or "don't life more than 20 lbs".

Athleticism does not end when motherhood begins.

Pregnant & Postpartum Athletes are not fragile and they are also not invincible.

I’m Manuela Tassone, a Personal Trainer with a degree in Exercise and Sport Sciences specializing in women’s training, with a specific focus on pregnancy, postpartum, and functional recovery throughout all stages of motherhood.
My approach combines strength training, breathing and pressure management, core and pelvic floor coordination, movement biomechanics, and real-life maternity support — always evidence-based, individualized, and free of extremes or fear-based coaching.
I help women feel strong, safe, and supported through movement, whether they’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or returning to training after birth. I work mainly through personalized online coaching throughout Italy, with in-person sessions available by appointment in Turin.
Not generic fitness. Not unrealistic promises. A structured, respectful, evidence-based method.
