How I help Women Get Their Pre-baby Body Back in Their Own Time

“You’ve had a baby. You’re not SUPPOSED to be able to do the things you used to do.”

Have you or someone you know been told that one before? One of my biggest pet peeves! Your body does change with pregnancy and delivery - it’s such a beautiful thing the woman’s body can do! But, you are not cursed forever once you have a baby. There are amazing women running ultramarathons, meeting new physical achievements and living with the freedom to live an active, unlimited life AFTER pregnancy.

What must be understood is that the body is, indeed, different now. But it is NOT incapable, used up, old news. If you hear that narrative - leave! It takes some more work at times, but mostly a new perspective. Maybe you used to be able to hop out of bed and put your body through a workout first thing. Now, it may take a little more prep work.

Motherhood is crazy - unpredictable & exhausting. I know, I’ve been there. How can you possibly squeeze appointments in for yourself at this time? Guess what - you don’t! I offer flexible, accessible advice over the phone or internet. Nap time doesn’t always go as planned. I understand! Shoot, even when it does, kicking back to do nothing is also much needed some days. Picture this - A few scheduled conversations, video walk-throughs of a few high-quality activities to use on your own time, and on-demand access to talk it all over on YOUR time. It works! I have helped so many mothers just like you without ever stepping foot into my office.

Therapists Need Advice, Too!

PT WITH NAGGING HIP PAIN I received a message from a physical therapist colleague & active mom asking for advice. She had been dealing with some hip pain that seemed to have started when she started increasing her strength training regime. My "R hip, feels like "impingement," but also trigger points in piriformis and adductors. I just can't get them to shut off!" Spoken like a true PT 😅 I gave her pictures of 2 new exercises to try via messenger. 5 DAYS LATER, I receive this: "Messaging to tell you you're my hero. That seated stretch is AH-mazing. I have worked out all week with zero pain." It really CAN be that simple! I have recently launched the Pain Relief Coaching program to offer you all the same Quick, Easy, and Effective advice.

My Challenge = Your Gain

As many of you know, I've been utilizing the concepts of Postural Restoration®️ (PRI®️) for a real long time now. I took my first class in 2007 and was one of the first 47 certified in the world by the end of 2009. Since the first time I heard the explanation of common asymmetrical patterns due to our underlying asymmetrical anatomical influences (diaphragm, liver, lungs, etc), I felt justified. I had been seeing these patterns for years, but didn't fully grasp why. I knew I wanted to learn a better way of treating my patients, but this was SO DIFFERENT. Controversial, in fact. One of my first thoughts was "man, all the people I struggled to help that I could have helped." I doubted what I was taught in school. I realized that accepting these concepts meant accepting that I may not have given my past patients what they really needed. I could have turned my head from it - The challenge. The uncertainty. The starting all over again. Instead, I dove all ...

Understanding the Pelvic Floor - GAMECHANGER!

WHY ARE YOU CARRYING THAT EVERYWHERE, MOM? If you've bumped into me lately, you've likely seen this new "friend" poking out of my bag or sitting on my desk. I've had a "bones only" pelvis for a while now, but this one is a new addition. I've been under the wing of the great @hayleykavapt this month tackling a deeper understanding of the pelvic floor. I've understood how to INFLUENCE those deep muscles via the bony positioning and activation of the larger muscles surrounding the pelvis, but I didn't fully understand how to ACTIVATE and RELAX those muscles and when. I was pretty intimidated by those deep pelvis muscles, to be honest. I can say that adding this awareness and cueing to the exercises I've been giving out for years has made a huge difference in myself... and I'm excited to share this new appreciation with you! After just a few times practicing, my feet felt much more grounded when running today! Better hamstring and glute ...
