Meet Your Coach
Stacey Rikalo
Hi, I’m Stacey - strength coach, women’s wellness nerd, and founder of femSTRONG.
My mission is to help women move with confidence and strength in every chapter — whether that’s pregnancy, postpartum, or just chasing life full-speed.
Strength isn’t just physical.
It’s the resilience, confidence, and freedom to move through life the way you want to.
Building physical strength in community is one of the best investments you can make in your future — but so many women don’t know where to start.
With 20+ years of lifting under my belt and over a decade of coaching experience, I’ve helped hundreds of ladies like you build strength that translates to a life they love. I’m here to guide you through the ebbs and flows of your ever-changing body, your seasons, and your goals.
Let’s lift heavy, laugh hard, and make this your strongest season yet.

What Women Say About femSTRONG
"The Fearful to Fearless program was super helpful for learning core work and pelvic floor activation/relaxation exercises. Also it was helpful obtaining a plan to continue to follow throughout pregnancy. Stacey is very kind and continues to be helpful even after the program ends."
- S. (Fearful to Fearless Alumni)
"As I got more pregnant I was unsure of how to keep moving my body safely. At this point, I was primarily do home workouts and was feeling a little lost. Once I started working with Stacey I was able to relax and enjoy my workouts, knowing that how I was moving my body was appropriate.
I was able to continue working out up until my due date!"
- Emily F. (1:1 Client - Mama of Two)
"For me, it was all about having a one stop shop for everything during my pregnancy and postpartum journey. I stopped wasting my time asking the internet questions and was able to get all the information I needed through the femSTRONG team. There is so much information out there and it just streamlined everything for me working with this team of professionals."
- Emily M. (1:1 Client - Mama of Two)
"I enjoyed all aspects, but I knew very little about the pelvic floor, related exercises, and relaxation techniques, so I found that part extremely valuable. Also learning a little bit more about nutrition and how that can influence both pregnancy and outcome for the child."
- E. R. (femSTRONG Foundations - Mama of One)
"Working with Stacey is always a positive experience. Our meetings were always a highlight of my week and gave me the encouragement I needed to stay on track. Stacey is knowledgeable in many areas and always had an answer for me when I would have questions regarding fitness, nutrition or supplements."
- Amy T. (1:1 Client - Mama of Two)
"The exercises and information in femSTRONG Foundations was presented in a very direct and clear manner. Topics were easy to understand and the information will be easy to implement. The pelvic floor exercises were the most informative for me."
- S. D. (femSTRONG Foundations - Mama of One)
"In the words of my daughter,
'Mommy's a strong bitch!'
Hell yeah I am. And I can jump
and sneeze without peeing myself.
It's pretty rad."
- Amy C. (1:1 Client - Mama of Two)
"Stacey gave me a healthy and
safe exercise program to follow
throughout my first pregnancy.
I didn’t have any ab separation
postpartum!"
- A. K. (1:1 Client - Mama of One)
"Stacey is a great trainer. She has helped me level-up my lifting skills while keeping my postpartum pelvic floor happy and every workout is fun. She's exactly what I've been looking for in the perinatal fitness space; she knows women's health and trains toward long-term strength and wellbeing. I feel lucky to have her."
- Lauren F. (1:1 Client - Mama of Two)
