Effective Core Techniques

The Bloom Method delivers transformative techniques, proven to prevent and heal Diastasis Recti and other pregnancy-related injuries. Bloom's foundational core & pelvic floor techniques launched a new way of training the core during and post pregnancy. These techniques not only paved the way for innovation among other pre + postnatal experts but they ensure mamas feel strong and healthy during pregnancy and safely return to exercise postpartum.

Founder Brooke Cates and her team of experts, all moms themselves, bring a wealth of expertise to Bloom's offerings. Joining Bloom means becoming part of a thriving community of mamas.

Our Commitment to Authenticity

What We Don't Do:

Offer a one-size-fits-all approach: Our pregnancy & postpartum journeys are never the same as another's, and our approach to movement deserves to be as individualized as our experiences are. We offer customization for any of our programs and classes to ensure the best results for all.

NO Voice Over Classes: Every class is filmed in the studio with our trainers, ensuring top-notch quality and expertise.

NO Uniformity: Embracing diversity, we proudly represent real people of all shapes, sizes, and ethnicities.

NO Conformity: We challenge the mainstream narrative, empowering you to prevent Diastasis Recti and embrace the capabilities of your body.

Leading the Pre + Postnatal Fitness Frontier

Studio Bloom Online

Launched online in 2018, Studio Bloom marked the first pre + postnatal fitness offering to go virtual. As a pioneer, Brooke faced skepticism but stood firm, driven by her observations and belief in the needs of mamas. Today, Studio Bloom stands tall with a commitment to personalized fitness, offering a range of workouts and coaching styles. Brooke has expanded her team to include top pre & postnatal fitness trainers, pelvic health professionals, and nutritionists.

The Birth of The Method

Nurturing Mamas, Preventing Injuries

In 2009, Brooke delved into becoming a Certified Personal Trainer and Pre & Postnatal Corrective Exercise Specialist. Her hands-on work with hundreds of mamas led to the development of The Method, focusing on exercises to heal and prevent Diastasis Recti, incontinence, and other pregnancy-related injuries.

Tested and refined through client success, The Bloom Method's foundational techniques have empowered women worldwide. Brooke's signature move, the belly pump, has become a recognized technique for healing and preventing Diastasis Recti.

Our Founder, Brooke Cates

Pioneering Pre + Postnatal Fitness

Hi! I'm Brooke Cates, the founder and CEO of The Bloom Method. Driven by a desire to fill a gap in the fitness industry, I founded The Bloom Method, with a mission to offer a holistic approach to pre and postnatal fitness that prioritizes safe, effective movement and personalized support. My goal is simple: to empower women to feel strong, confident, and supported throughout their journey to motherhood.

Through innovative programs and educational resources, I strive to reshape the conversation around pregnancy and postpartum health, providing women with the tools they need to thrive. My approach is rooted in a deep understanding of movement science, anatomy, and holistic wellness, allowing me and my team to offer tailored programs that meet the unique needs of each individual.

I'm incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to support women on their journey to motherhood, and I'm constantly inspired by the strength and resilience of the women I work with. Together, we're redefining what it means to be strong, healthy, and empowered during pregnancy and beyond.
