Macy Basterrechea
Mom of the Month
Hey hey!
I'm Macy! I feel pretty honored to be mom of the month for May because I think May has the most special holiday- Mother’s Day! I’m currently in my Mom era jamming to “Let it Go” (on repeat, of course) with my 2-year old daughter Malen and Patxi, my 4-month old baby boy.
Motherhood is truly the best and I’m lucky enough to walk, run, jump through it with an amazing group: FIT4MOM. As a Pelvic floor physical therapist, fitness is very important to me, but FIT4MOM is not just about the workouts; it's about the community, the accountability, and the shared journey of motherhood.
I have an amazing husband, Alec, who is a Urology Resident for the Navy. We met in the most charming way when I was in the 8th grade- at the local county fair of Alec’s hometown. But being 35 minutes from my hometown, the middle school love didn’t last past a few months because of the “long distance.”
After graduating college, we decided to give the long distance another shot (this time 1,000 miles apart) and reconnected before going off to medical school and physical therapy school. It worked out this time and we married in 2020! (Rebels)
Although I choose to spend most of my time momming and being a wife, I do have a few other hobbies…. Which still mostly includes my husband and kids!
I love music… listening, singing, playing guitar, dancing to music. It’s one of my favorite ways to connect with myself and people. Camping in the mountains, hiking, horseback riding, or just sitting on the patio with some wine, family/friends, and good music sounds like a perfect life to me!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas!
Cheers and I’ll see you in class!
