Less focus on what you cannot do and more on what you CAN DO!
The 4 Feel Good Foundations
A Feel Good Mom is a mother who is allowed to feel all possible feelings but strives to feel good about herself no matter what her story is. C-section or vaginal birth, breast or bottle feeding, you are doing your best and are allowed to make your own decisions. This program will do nothing but remind you of that!

Breath
Connect with your core and wake up your diaphragm
Mindset
Understand there is no right way and you are good enough
Community

Meet Miriam
Founder of Feel Good Moms, Pre- and Post Natal Exercise Coach, Core and Diastasis Consultant, and Doula in training
I initially started delving into the world of pre- and postnatal fitness out of necessity. Despite having been a fitness coach since 2009, at a certain point I came to the humble realization that working with pregnant women and new moms was a whole different ball game. A quick Google search on “how to train a pregnant woman” was not going to cut it.
I therefore enrolled myself in various educational programs and rapidly developed a flaming hot passion for moms, their bumps and babies.
Very quickly I began to realize that the fitness industry did not really cater for pre- or postnatal moms, which motivated me to create something that simply wasn’t there before. Within a year I opened the Feel Good Moms training studio, welcomed moms in private and group settings, organized various workshops, presented at Fit Fair, attended more courses, made countless of new friends and even got the very humbling opportunity to attend births.
Nothing gives me more energy than hearing that with my help, the moms had a more comfortable pregnancy and smoother delivery/recovery process.
To be able to support women even more holistically, I am currently studying to become a Doula!

Safe environment to work out
I trained with Miriam both pre- and postnatal. Not only is Miriam very knowledgeable and passionate about her job, she is also a lot of fun to train with. What I like about her approach is that she is really focused on your specific needs and provides you with options to train at your own level. Miriam teaches you everything you need to know on how your body changes during and after pregnancy. She creates a safe environment to work out. I felt stronger and ALWAYS left her classes with more energy and a big smile on my face! Thank you so much Miriam!
Hele goede coach
Hele goede trainer en coach, slim, ondernemend en haalt resultaten met je, zelfs online! De eerste keer gebruikt gemaakt van haar services voor mijn bruiloft, en zeer tevreden met het resultaat en daarna weer met haar aan de slag gegaan na de geboorte mijn baby, en weer heel blij met de resultaten. Haar kennis over het vrouwen lichaam gerelateerd aan zwangerschap is enorm, dus zeker aan te raden!
Ontzettend blij
Ik ben gaan trainen bij Feel Good Moms toen ik 12 weken zwanger was, en nu alweer bijna 6 maanden post partum ben ik nog steeds zó ontzettend blij dat ik hier terecht ben gekomen! Miriam heeft naast
haar fijne, positieve energie enorm veel kennis van alles wat met het zwangere/postpartum lichaam te maken heeft en hoe je hier op een gezonde manier mee kan trainen. Ze heeft mij heel erg geholpen bij het herstel van mijn rectus diastase, ik ben in minder
dan 4 maanden tijd al van 20 cm naar 4 cm (!!) gegaan en ik ben nog maar aan het begin van de herstel periode die hier voor staat. Ook denkt ze ontzettend met je mee op alle vlakken en gaat ze altijd uit van het positieve. Via de school heb ik ook nog allemaal
leuke moeders (to be) ontmoet waar ik nog steeds contact mee heb. Ik kan niet genoeg benadrukken hoe fijn het is om Miriam aan je zijde te hebben als je zwanger bent of een baby hebt gehad!! Doe jezelf een plezier en ga trainen bij Feel Good Moms, echt verreweg
de beste school van DH en omstreken 🙂
Fun and energetic
Miriam has an unique ability to make workouts fun and energetic even for a pregnant lady in week 34. I would recommend it to everyone.
Positive and empowering
Before my pregnancy I'd never heard of a pelvic floor but after training at Miriam's prenatal workouts I'm starting to feel like a pro in understanding the changes in my body. It's great to interact with other strong women experiencing the same and keeping my body fit and healthy. The vibe is positive and empowering - it's all about what you can do instead of what you can't (which you hear too often during pregnancy). Very fun, lot's of laughs - you should definitely give it a try!
Knows what she's talking about
Wonderful place to workout, learn about labour and your body and great enthusiastic teacher who motivates you and knows what she is talking about.
Fun workout
Not some easy mommy-chatting group, but a good and fun workout. Great instructor, would love to come back.
Leuk en leerzam
Vaker gesport met Miriam en dat is absoluut een dike aanrader. Leuk, leerzam en op je eigen niveau.
Ga hier heen!
Mijn tweede zwangerschap heb ik volledig bij Feel Good Moms getraind. En guess what? In tegenstelling tot mijn eerste zwangerschap heb ik keen bekkenklachten gehad! 100% te danken aan de kennis en Kunde van FGM. Nu weer herstellen met the postnatale lessen. Moeders en moeders in spe; ga hier heen. Je leert vaardigheden om voor de erst van je leven veilig te trainen. Echt!
Enthusiastic trainer
Great class, given by an awesome, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and super helpful trainer. Would recommend this class to any pregnant woman.
Loved the workshop
I went to the workshop Miriam gave at the Fitfair in Utrecht. I loved the workshop. I really learned a lot form her experiences and stories. She has a lot of knowlegde. She takes care that the information stays in your head by her funny way of teaching.
Incredible results
I was fortunate enough to have met Miriam early this year as I was looking for some help getting back to the gym...
She offered me a much more interesting way to achieve a healthy and a balanced lifestyle through completely different exercises and nutrition guidance that I had never experienced before. I was faced with an incredible result!! A much stronger foundation which helped me not only loose weight but feel better and balanced.
Miriam has that secret ingredient to a successful people... she is passionate about her job!! She researches new techniques and is constantly updating herself with new courses and trainings.
I definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a better quality of life.
Caring, dedicated and knowledgeable
I started training with Mimi before she set up the Feel Good Moms studio and classes, and I would recommend her as a trainer to anyone. Mimi is a caring, dedicated and knowledgeable professional. She tailors her classes (one-on-one or group) to the individuals who take part in them, rather than trying to apply a 'one size fits all' method or simply following the latest fitness craze. She listens to you and your objectives, not only helping you achieve them but also teaching you about fitness and health so you can eventually develop your own training routine. Mimi is extremely passionate about her work and is constantly learning and gaining qualifications to ensure that she delivers effective classes. After undergoing sensitive surgery, Mimi was the person I turned to, to help me recover, regain strength and confidence. I cannot recommend her classes more.
Love the holistic approach
I have been working with Mimi for some time now and I love the holistic approach that she brings to the session. Her knowledge is so extensive and she can tailor your workout to how you are doing that day in an instant so that you always get the most from your training.
Learnt so much
I am working with Miriam to lose weight and I have learnt so much more than that. I have learnt about fitness, movement, eating patterns and what to eat. We have been able to work out my diet to prevent the stomach pain I was having. Above all we have a great time in both 1-on-1 classes and group sessions and I am getting stronger every week!
Zo blij mee
Voordat ik contact zocht met Miriam liep ik al een tijdje met het idee rond om naar een personal trainer te gaan. Ik wilde wel (weer) fitter worden en een gezondere levensstijl leven, maar ik had geen idee waar of hoe ik daarmee moest beginnen. Mimi kwam op mijn pad en daar ben ik zo blij mee!
Ze is een expert op zoveel meer gebieden dan alleen fitness. Ze geeft elke persoon die bij haar binnenkomt een persoonlijk advies en neemt elementen zoals voeding, stress etc. mee in haar benadering.
De 1 op 1 sessies hebben mij echt geholpen om meer te leren over de beste technieken van het trainen. Maar ook (als definitieve bonus) heb ik door de juiste ademhalingstechnieken te leren nu mijn paniekaanvallen weren te beheersen. Ik zit nu zowel fysiek als mentaal veel beter in m'n vel!
Nu ben ik enige tijd begonnen met de groepslessen op zaterdagochtend en dit biedt de kans om de geleerde technieken te blijven oefenen, lekker te sporten en bovendien is het nog hartstikke gezellig ook!
Hele fijne les
Hele fijne les!Goede persoonlijke begleiding met echt aandacht voor elke mama apart! Klein klasje met een gemoedelijke sfeer.
Super leuk
Ik had een privee les omdat ik de enige was die zich had opgegeven en het was echt fantastisch. Ze weet echt waar ze het over heeft. Ze leert je goed te ademen en hoe je vanuit je basis zorgt dat je een goede houding hebt en vanuit daar kun je dan beginnen met oefeningen. Ze kijkt echt naar je en kan je zo advies op maat geven. Ik kan haar zeker aanraden, ook als je niet een moeder bent (of zwanger). Als je ergens last in je lijf hebt kan zij je helpen dat vanuit de oorzaak op te lossen.
Inspiring
A very inspiring, fun and productive class! Miriam is kind and really knows what she’s talking about. She explains everything well so you go home with helpful exercises that are also very useful in your daily life. Highly recommend!
Wonderfull
Miriam truly is one of a kind! As someone who has never been a fan of the gym, I found her way of training really clear, effective and even fun! I signed up for a single 10 pack session back in May and have since completed 3x 10-pack sessions!!
Miriam really takes the time to listen to you, identify your goals and abilities and works with you to ensure proper technique for each movement and explains what you’re doing and why! Her focus on education is what really makes her stand out!
If you’re looking to make a positive change to your training regime or just starting on that path (like I was) - look no further!!
Super professional
Miriam is super professional paying close attention to your personal journey. She loves pushing your limits and maximize your capabilities. Next to it she’s super patient, kind and funny. Highly recommend her!
Always upbeat
I’ve been training with Miriam for 5 months now and it has been such a positive experience. I love the emphasis she places on mobility, as well as the way she tailors exercises to what I need. She has always been upbeat, flexible and supportive, and is very knowledgeable about her subject. Training with her has really helped me feel better about myself both physically and mentally.
Super fun
The last couple of years I intensified training in a gym, always looking for what works for me. Then I got pregnant, had a beautiful baby girl. For 1.5 years, I hit the gym maybe 10 times.
My boyfriend proposed, so I needed to get in shape! I thought I knew something about training and just wanted a trainer that knew her stuff, but could also relate to a corporate job and does not give crazy advise on food.
That is where Miriam came in, and I love her! She always surprises me with the workouts, is fun to hang around with and has a body that inspires. After our first 10 sessions I could already see such a big difference.
I love it and will keep training, not only for my wedding but for better life balance!
