Early on in our work together, after I ran the NYC Marathon in 2021, Morgan told me that her specialties are marathons and maternity. Both are intense physical undertakings that require preparation, stamina and recovery.

Last year, when I started trying to have a baby, Morgan worked with me to develop a new regimen that built strength and soothed my anxiety. Then, when I was expecting my first child, Morgan and I worked together to prepare my body and my spirit for labor and all of the physical demands that come before (and after)! With Morgan’s help I continued to run until I was 8.5 months pregnant, and went into labor with confidence, as well as both mental and physical flexibility.

Morgan’s work with me has changed my life in so many ways. She has helped me to rethink the way I move through the world and redesigned the way I care for myself. I felt in many ways that for the first time in my life I had comprehensive health care. This new approach is especially meaningful now that I am taking care of another person.

I was admittedly terrified when I got into the NYC marathon - it was my first marathon and I had come off of a really tough half marathon.  Morgan set out a very methodical, doable training program which she kept flexible to accommodate holidays, travel plans, illnesses and injuries.  She was there for me during the highs and lows (and there were a lot of those) and was super responsive over texts. She advised on all aspects of the training including stretching, diet and fueling. 

By the actual race day, I felt super prepared both in terms of the mileage and training. A few days prior to the race, Morgan and I did a walkthrough and strategized mile by mile so I knew exactly what to expect and how to attack the course.  We prepped best case and worst case scenarios so I felt confident that I was going to finish.  It ultimately was one of the most memorable days of my life - I can't describe what a thrill it was to accomplish something I never thought possible.

Working with Morgan has truly transformed my running journey. We first met in 2019, where she was my physical therapist for a running injury. She helped me complete the NYC marathon that year, and made such a positive impact on me that she has been my go-to for physical therapy and run coaching ever since. Not only has she helped me improve my speed and endurance, but her personalized coaching approach has made me feel more confident in my abilities.

Morgan takes the time to understand my individual goals and designs workouts that are both challenging and attainable, always taking into account my schedule, fitness level, injury history, and my chronic illness. Whether it's refining my technique, injury prevention, or working through recovery, the combination of coaching and physical therapy has made all the difference. I’m excited to see all of my training, designed by Morgan, pay off in April when I run my third marathon!

After the birth of my daughter last summer, I experienced perineal pain and pelvic floor weakness from an episiotomy. I started working with Morgan on breathing mechanics, pelvic floor control, and core strengthening. Our sessions were informative, reassuring, and even fun! I am finally pain-free and enjoying motherhood.

I started seeing Morgan when I began training for the NYC Marathon and had been experiencing hip pain. Through weekly sessions, we were able to strengthen the area and avoid injury as my mileage increased. For any runners out there, you know how tolling marathon training can be mentally as well. Morgan’s ability to relate to what I was going through quickly made my sessions a safe space and something I looked forward to every week. I couldn’t have gotten through it without her! 

I could write a book about all of the good things Morgan has done for me on my running journey! Thanks to Morgan’s help, I have managed to break some big Pr’s while most importantly staying injury free. She tailors every plan to each of her athlete’s and knows that not one size fits all when it comes to training plans. Her knowledge and attention to detail combined with her compassion and genuine care for her clients is something that is hard to find with running coaches and I could not recommend her enough!
