Our story


A busy life is a happy life! Let’s be honest, sometimes with children, friends, work and an overflowing agenda, it is quite a challenge to have a balance. Our mission is to help as many women and moms (to be) as possible with a network of positive women on a strong, energetic basis. If you feel physically and mentally good, it is easier to make the right choices, to work on your ambitions and to enjoy your family.

“WE TOUCH WOMEN’S LIVES AROUND THE WORLD, INSPIRE THEM TO BE FIT AND HEALTHY, TO BE AT THEIR BEST. WE BELIEVE IN A POSITIVE AND PERSONAL APPROACH. WE WILL DO THE BEST WE CAN. ALWAYS.”

Where it began


Meet the founder of Mom in Balance: Esther van Diepen. Mother of four kids, successful entrepreneur and fanatic athlete. Together with her husband and children, she lived in New York for a while and was introduced to the culture of sporting (soon to be) mothers in city parks. That's how she came up with the idea for Mom in Balance! In collaboration with various experts, she laid the foundation for our unique sports program, which was launched in 2008 in the Netherlands.

In 2017 Vanessa Calem von Muhlen, who has a Dutch father and a Portuguese father, moved to Lisbon to follow a dream to live and work in Lisbon. After discovering there was a potential to offer women outdoor workouts in Lisbon, Mom in Balance was launched in November 2018.

Mom in Balance


We provide outdoor workouts for pregnant women, recovery training after delivery and total body workouts for women. Our workouts help you to become stronger and improve your fitness, but they also give you energy and a positive mindset. Research has shown that sport goes beyond the physical. Exercising makes us more social, more confident, able to focus better and empathize better with others. Exactly what you need in the first years of motherhood! You can handle more and stay in balance through sport.

The sports program


The Mom in Balance sports program has been specially developed for women during pregnancy, a good recovery afterwards and a good work-life balance. Our workouts are designed in collaboration with the best gynaecologists and pelvic floor therapists, specially tailored to the pregnant, recovering and fit body.

  • Outdoor all year round!

  • Functional total body workout especially for the pregnant and recovering body.

  • Extra attention for a strong back and stability of the pelvis.

  • Awareness and subsequent recovery of the pelvic floor muscles.

  • Improve your fitness with cardio exercises.

  • Meet other inspiring women in your neighbourhood in the same phase.
