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.

How are Airway and Posture Related?

HOW ARE AIRWAY & POSTURE RELATED? When we think of "airway, we think of life-and-death situations and sleep apnea.  But, there is so much more to our ability to pull air into our lungs freely and evenly and to expel carbon dioxide.  Our alignment and muscle tone play a pivotal role in our ability to maintain a symmetrical, un-restricted airflow.  You see, the respiratory system is a bo dy-wide, interconnected and closed system. There are often clues our body is giving us that there is a restriction somewhere to free, full airflow. Often times, the restrictions are located quite a distance from our nose and mouth! Key Points First of all, it is not common knowledge, but we actually have 4 diaphragms (some even say 5) that all influence each other.  They act as one closed, pressurized system.  If there is an issue with the function of one of the diaphragms, it will influence the others. Another key concept is that our main diaphra...

Those "Tricky" Hamstrings - Part 2

THE ROLE OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM This "epidemic" of recurring hamstring injuries is, in part, due to the under-valued role of the nervous system.  There is often too much focus on the structural "damage" and isolated limitations vs the overall dysfunction. I'm not saying that treating the damaged tissue is not important. But, in order to minimize recurrence, we must look beyond the isolated injury and seek to understand the integrated, "big picture" of the problem. IS IT ACTUAL DAMAGE OR SOMETHING ELSE? One interesting concept to understand is that the tension of our muscles are completely under the control of our nervous system.  Your brain is in constant awareness of the tension of all your muscles.  Unless you change your nervous system, you will continue to sense tightness.  As mentioned in Part 1, stretching isn't necessarily the answer to resolving tension. The relief felt by isolated muscle stretching only lasts for about 20 minutes.   ...

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.
