Speaking

Motherhood changes women. It’s time we change the conversation.

I speak about motherhood, matrescence, physical strength, identity and career. My goal is to bring these conversations into workplaces, healthcare settings, professional events and communities.

About

I'm Elke Hoenisch-Schneider, founder of POWERBODY, pregnancy and postpartum strength coach, matrescence coach and mother of two.

Before founding POWERBODY, I worked across retail leadership, education and financial services. I bring that experience alongside the everyday realities of motherhood, business and personal ambition.

I combine evidence-informed education with lived experience to open honest conversations about the expectations placed on women and the support that makes a difference.

Everything starts with the body. Nothing ends there.
