Our Mission

We are on a mission to help women build lasting strength through pregnancy and postpartum so they can prepare for birth, protect their pelvic floor, and step into motherhood with confidence.

Our vision is to normalize proactive strength training during pregnancy so fewer women experience preventable incontinence, delayed healing, and uncertainty in their recovery.

Mareike Sandhaus, Owner

Certified Pre and Postnatal Trainer

Mareike Sandhaus is a German physical therapist with over 17 years of experience and the founder of Born2Move. After 13 years of self-employment and now working as a pediatric German physical therapist, she has spent her career closely supporting families through every stage of life. Leading postpartum classes opened her eyes to a pattern she could no longer ignore: nearly every mother was quietly struggling with incontinence, yet few felt comfortable talking about it. Mareike knew this needed to change. She made it her mission to bring these conversations into the open and equip women with the strength, knowledge, and confidence they deserve during pregnancy and postpartum.

Currently based in Germany and relocating to Chattanooga in the fall of 2026, Mareike continues to expand her expertise to better serve women. She has been a licensed physical therapist in Germany since 2009, a certified manual therapist, a Bobath instructor for adults and children, and a certified pre and postnatal trainer. Beyond her credentials, she is a wife to Alex, her teammate in life and business, and a proud mom of two daughters who fuel her passion daily. On any given Saturday, you will likely find her with her family, cheering on her kids at sports or enjoying everyday moments together, the very experiences that continue to shape her heart for supporting mothers.
