Dr. Karen Nordahl Bio

Dr. Karen Nordahl, MD and Co-Author Fit to Deliver

Dr. Karen NordahlDr. Karen Nordahl graduated from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C. with a Bachelor of Science Kinesiology (Physiology) in 1987, and completed her medical degree at the University of British Columbia in 1989. She currently practices family medicine and obstetrics at BC Women’s Hospital in Vancouver, BC.

Early in her medical career, Dr. Nordahl discovered that there was an enormous amount of information and misinformation surrounding exercise during pregnancy. Women who remained active during pregnancy had very little information available to them. Hence the "birth" of Fit to Deliver.

Dr. Karen Nordahl joined forces with Carl Petersen in 2000 to develop the first edition of ‘Fit to Deliver’. The program now includes prenatal and postnatal fitness classes in Vancouver BC, Prenatal Exercise Instructor Certification Programs in Canada, US and the UK, and ‘Fit to Deliver’ second edition published October 2004.
