About Me
I'm Elke.
Pregnancy and postpartum strength coach.
Matrescence coach. Mother of two.
Five years ago, I wasn't even sure I wanted children. I worried about what motherhood would mean for my body, my ambitions and the life I'd built.
Now I'm raising two boys and running POWERBODY. That pull between being their mum and being myself is something I understand personally, and work with professionally.
This is work I love, because your strength and what matters to you deserve a place in motherhood.
How I work
Clear guidance for your body.
Space to find your own answers.
Pregnancy & postpartum strength
Here, I'm your coach and mentor. I bring the expertise and give you clear direction: how to train, what to adapt and how to build strength with your changing body, keeping safety at the centre.
You don't have to work it all out yourself. That's what I'm here for.
Motherhood & matrescence
Here, I don't hand you answers. As a Mama Rising-trained matrescence coach, I ask questions that help you find your own.
We explore the expectations society puts on mothers, the support you thought would be there but isn't, and what you truly want. Not what you feel you should want.
“OMG, I ran yesterday. Not on purpose, just to get something from the neighbour. And there was nothing. No leaking, no heaviness, nothing. I cannot tell you how good that feels. I didn't even think that was possible.”
Life beyond the work
A mother. A business owner. Still myself.
I love strength training, travelling with my family and giving myself a physical challenge to work towards. Becoming a mother hasn't taken away that part of me.
I still feel the pull. But giving more attention to one part of my life today doesn't mean I'm failing at another. Making room for what matters is something I love to keep working on.

Professional background
Experience behind the conversation.
Before founding POWERBODY, I worked across retail leadership, education and financial services. That experience shapes my understanding of working life, alongside my experience as a mother and business owner.
