Flexion, Extension,Side Bending, Rotation: Pilates is about posture, precision and articulating, strengthening and moving your spine in all four planes of movement.

Back pain, pinched nerves, sciatica, tingling or hip flexors that just won’t turn off? Check out our Clinical Rehabilitation Program here! We also offer direct billing.

Your spine needs you to move in all directions and to have a strong support system starting from your pelvis; abdomen, back, hips and pelvic floor. These are the deep core muscles, which are the foundation of the Pilates method so your spine has proper support. If your hips are out of alignment, tucked or lordotic, your back is going to feel the pain.

We can’t wait to help you achieve your goals in 2023!

Business: Mama Method Vancouver is an intimate pilates studio specializing in Prenatal, Postpartum + Women's Health.

4worldlovers: Motherhood transforms us in every literal sense. We’re here to make the journey smooth, so you can move through motherhood with freedom + joy.

MAMA METHOD is a boutique Pilates fitness studio specializing in prenatal, postpartum + women’s health. We are located in North Burnaby, just 15 min from Vancouver, New Westminster and North Vancouver.

Our philosophy is simple: to support, uplift and empower women during pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood. We do this through education, healing movement, sweat and community.

We are thrilled to be trusted and recommended by orthopaedic and pelvic floor physiotherapists, OBGYNs, midwives and other women’s health practitioners throughout the lower mainland.

I’m Jen - a Prenatal and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist and Clinical Pilates Educator.

I’m a Mama of 2, and I’ve been in your shoes. Motherhood is the hardest job in the world, and my goal is to help make it that much easier - and enjoyable! - for you.

Staying active during pregnancy with smart and safe exercise, such as Pilates, has so many benefits for the Mother and baby, and can greatly help with your postpartum recovery. I can help you plan for a powerful pregnancy to prevent or minimize the common aches, pains and pregnancy-related symptoms such as stress incontience, SI joint pain and Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction. You’ll learn how to connect with your pelvic floor, core and breathing system in a whole new way, which can help manage stress and allow for a smoother birth and delivery.

Carrying your baby for 9 months and then going through birth can feel like your body’s been through a marathon - and it has! The next few years are just as important as you’re not only caring for your little one 24 hrs a day, but also yourself. You’re going to need strength, and a lot of it.

Having a rock solid game plan on how to recover from birth and safely regain your body and core strength and pelvic floor health is key in not only helping you return to the activities you love most, but allowing you to withstand the demands of early Motherhood. Most importantly, learning to appreciate and respect all that your body has been through, along with cultivating a positive body image, is a humbling and important step in your journey towards healing.

If your baby is now crawling or it’s been years since your last child was born, and you’re still struggling, you’re not alone. Back pain, neck tension, SI joint pain, diastasis recti, prolapse and urinary or fecal incontinence are some issues that can arise during pregnancy and postpartum and linger for years if not addressed. It’s time for a fresh start with a fresh approach. We’ll take a close look at your body, from your posture to the way you move and come up with program specific to your short term needs and long term goals.

“Do you work with people who aren’t pregnant or postpartum?”

This is a question I always get asked, and the answer is YES!

Our women’s health and fitness programs are designed with an athletic focus in mind, where you reap the benefits of an intense fitness class without the impact on your joints or spiking cortisol levels. They are perfect for those wanting to:

Rehab or speed up the recovery time of an existing injury

The only caveat - reformer pilates is highly addictive! You’re going to absolutely love the way your body looks and feels. It’s an experience like no other.

“I feel like a whole new person. I have learned so much about my body after three babies, and ways in which I can slowly get back to myself. Jen is compassionate, incredibly knowledgable, and professional. Highly recommend!” - Dr. Akehurst, Vancouver

“For about a year and a half since I had my second, my oldest daughter would always ask if I would play tag with her at the park. I would, but soon after I would have to tell her I couldn’t run anymore because I would either feel like I was going to or I would pee my pants. After two weeks of doing the videos I was at the park on the weekend with my family. My daughter asked if I would play tag and this time I didn’t have to stop. This time we played tag until her legs were too sore.”

“I work on my feet all day and suffer with my back & shoulders, Marlene pinpointed the troubled areas by just looking at my stance. Would highly recommend a visit to this beautiful studio. I felt relief in the space of an hour & now a repeat client. Marlene is amazing and keeps you motivated throughout!”

“Marlene has helped me pinpoint and strengthen the weak parts of my body and I am no longer in pain. I remember the first session she quickly spotted I was hyper mobile in my joints and still to this day catches me if I’m doing the exercises incorrectly. She is very caring and attentive. The studio is spotless and beautiful.

“Among many exercises I tried, I have found Pilates the most effective for building core strength and awareness about involved muscles. It has helped me correct my posture, build strength in key muscles that are typically neglected at gym, and reduce pressure in my lower back disks.”

“Marlene is a truly committed and enthusiastic instructor. I have always been apprehensive about body work such as pilates due to an extensive spinal fusion from scoliosis surgery, plus neurological difficulties, but Marlene does extensive homework to help her clients as best as she can. I have been taking regular private classes with her for a couple of months now and plan on continuing for as long as I can!”

“Reform Pilates is a great studio in a convenient location (just a couple blocks away from Waterfront Station, in Gastown). Marlene is a Pilates instructor’s Pilates instructor. I know, as it’s my profession as well and Marlene is one of the few instructors in this city that I choose to go to in order to deepen my own embodiment of Pilates.”

“I’ve been going to this studio for the past couple months and absolutely love the teaching style. Beautiful studio and great instructors. Try to book with Marlene or Cindy — they’ll kick your butt in the most positive way!”
