Cynthia Hester is a Certified Health Coach and Fitness Trainer specializing in preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum fitness. She works with women across the reproductive journey to build movement practices that are sustainable, evidence-informed, and coordinated with their healthcare team.
Cynthia believes the months before conception are the most underutilized window in women’s health — a phase where intentional fitness can meaningfully improve outcomes throughout pregnancy and beyond. Her approach is always provider-first: she partners with her clients’ OB-GYNs, midwives, and primary care providers to ensure recommendations are appropriate for each individual’s history and clearance.
She is not a licensed healthcare provider and does not diagnose, prescribe, or clear clients for exercise — that role belongs to your medical team. What she does is help you build and act on a plan once you have that clearance.
Cynthia is a contributing writer for the Mama Yola Journal, where she authors a three-part fitness series covering the full arc from preconception through postpartum recovery.
