I don't believe in 'bouncing back' fast after having a baby - that’s just marketing nonsense. My own recovery took years, not months. My focus is on real, lasting strength for motherhood, not just looking a certain way. ### Why I’m Here I started this because I struggled through my own pregnancy and postpartum phase. Way too much confusion out there, hardly any real support. So I became the coach I wish I’d found. I care about building a real community where moms have each other’s backs. ### Coaching Style - Pregnancy & After I run online group sessions for both moms-to-be and those who’ve already delivered. Here’s what that looks like: - **Prenatal:** We do safe pregnancy workouts at home, using simple stuff like bands and dumbbells. Focus is on upper body (you’ll need it for carrying the baby!), hip stability, and core connection to prevent issues like Diastasis Recti. - **Postnatal:** My Diastasis Recti healing program starts with basics - breathing, core reconnection, and pelvic floor strengthening for new moms. We also cover C-section scar care (when healed) and work up slowly to more intense stuff. - Small groups mean I actually see you and can help you fix things as you go. ### The Real Talk Motherhood is messy. Some days you’ll feel on top, some days you just want to hide. I get it. Gym time is my therapy too. My only real advice - show up, be patient, and celebrate small wins. If I look sleep deprived on our call, trust me, you’re not alone. Plis excuse kindly! ## Highlights Browse through Mrinalini Bakshi Sengupta's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/fit.with.coach.m/pre-postnatal-fitness-coaching/featured) - [Video: I see you, mama.

Fitness for me isn’t about shrinking, it’s about getting strong and feeling good. When I was pregnant, I saw how much fear there is around women lifting weights. So I got certified, learned everything I could, and now I help moms train safely through pregnancy and after. Trust me, I’ve juggled motherhood, cake at birthdays, and workouts squeezed in between naps. If I can do it, you can too. No drama, just real life. ### My work - **Pre & Postnatal Strength Coaching**: I help women train through pregnancy and postpartum, focusing on safe, effective strength routines. - **Quick Workouts for Busy Moms**: My sessions are 30-45 mins, no equipment needed. Designed for real life, not gym rats. - **Core & Pelvic Floor Rehab**: We work on healing diastasis recti, pelvic floor strengthening, and fixing posture. No more ‘mommy pooch’. - **Nutrition Coaching**: I offer practical nutrition advice—no starvation, no guilt. Yes, you can eat cake. - **Sustainable Fitness for Parents**: No fads, just basics. We build habits that last, rooted in science, fit for busy family life. ## More services from Mrinalini Bakshi Sengupta - [Women's Strength & Conditioning](https://mytribe.in/fit.with.coach.m/women-s-strength-conditioning) · ₹400-1,200 per session (estimate) - [Nutrition Coaching for Sustainable Results](https://mytribe.in/fit.with.coach.m/nutrition-coaching-for-sustainable-results) · ₹1,500-8,000 per month (estimate) ## Experts similar to Mrinalini Bakshi Sengupta on mytribe - [Postpartum Fitness & Recovery Coaching by Punam Prasad](https://mytribe.in/getfitwithpunam/postpartum-fitness-recovery-coaching) · ₹2,000-8,000 per month (estimate) - [Postpartum Fitness & Core Restoration by Mama Be Fit](https://mytribe.in/mama.be.fit/postpartum-fitness-core-restoration) · ₹3,500-9,000 per month (estimate) - [Pre and Post-Natal Fitness by Nisha Vijaykumar](https://mytribe.in/nisha_bodyedit/pre-and-post-natal-fitness) · ₹500-16K per consultation session / per month (unconfirmed) (estimate) · SHADOWS DANCE STUDIO (Anjanapura) - [Prenatal and Postnatal Fitness Classes by Pujitha Shetty](https://mytribe.in/calmbirth.india/prenatal-and-postnatal-fitness-classes) · ₹350-1,200 per session (estimate) - [Postpartum Fitness & Recovery Coaching by Aksshaye S Shetty](https://mytribe.in/aksshayesshetty/postpartum-fitness-recovery-coaching) · ₹2,500-8,000 per month (estimate) - [Postnatal Fitness Coaching by Supriya Kumari](https://mytribe.in/supriya_zin19/postnatal-fitness-coaching) · ₹250-700 per group session (estimate) · Zumba Classes by Zin Supriya - [Postnatal Fitness & Recovery by Hamsikha](https://mytribe.in/yogahamsia/postnatal-fitness-recovery) · ₹350-1,200 per session (estimate) - [Pregnancy & Postpartum Fitness by Aura Birthing](https://mytribe.in/aura.birthingpartner/pregnancy-postpartum-fitness) · ₹500-2,500 per session (estimate) · Aura Birthing Partner - [Postpartum Fitness & Recovery Program by Bharti Goel](https://mytribe.in/herhealthcareathome/postpartum-fitness-recovery-program) · ₹2,000-8,000 per 6-week program (estimate) - [Postnatal Recovery Yoga by Aparna Ajayan](https://mytribe.in/aparnaajayan/postnatal-recovery-yoga) · ₹5,000-9,000 per 6-week program (estimate) ## Book To book Mrinalini Bakshi Sengupta, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Pre%20%26%20Postnatal%20Fitness%20Coaching%20by%20Mrinalini%20Bakshi%20Sengupta.)
