Hi!

Hello!

My name is Bailey. A few years ago, you could have found me over at missbeevintage.com. I lived (or attempted to live) a fairly 'vintage' type lifestyle.

Fast forward a few years, add a husband, 2 kitties, and a baby into the mix and well, the vintage thing kinda fell by the wayside.

When my baby was born, I went through the baby blues like any new mom would (yes, even celebrities go through it, they can just afford full time help). When you birth that baby, and all that responsibility of caring for this new elephant in the room, hormones are all over the map.

Throw in a couple other crazy life altering things, and well, that's the perfect storm of postpartum depression.

For me, a new baby, a husband who works out of town, and a move to a new house, (coupled with problems breastfeeding and the lack of friggin' sleep) made me not who I was.

I struggled. At my darkest time, I thought the easiest thing to do would be to put myself and my sweet baby in the car and just basically go to sleep. Looking back, I should have reached out. I should have called for help. I should have begged for help. However, I pressed it down for another couple months. Until one day, while wandering the mall, because what else do new moms do, I ended up at the Goodlife Fitness in the Sherwood Park Mall. Basically, just wanted to check it out. I was a member of another gym, but that gym wasn't attached to a Target.

With the help of my now boss, Mimi, and the amazing staff at Goodlife, I got myself back on track. I went to the gym upwards of 6 times a week. I got an hour to myself to just be Bailey. Not someones mom, not someones wife. Just me. I believe this saved me and most importantly, saved my baby.

I have since decided to pursue a career in personal training. I want to help moms who are lost and confused. I want to help moms who are either dealing with postpartum depression, or have dealt with it in the past. I want to help you feel great and in turn, provide a positive example for your kids. I am not a doctor. I'm not a therapist, but I am a mom. A mom who turned her life around with exercise.

Join me, and we can do great things!

See you in the weight room,
Bailey
