📌 Moms when I returned to run after my 4th & 5th baby I followed this amazing exercise program that focused on functional movements and progressed to single leg exercise.

I loved it because it was a researched based strength program, but I also followed guidelines of no leaking, increase in pelvic pressure or pain, or abdominal separation before beginning a couch to 5k program run program.

Our team sees many moms that experience leaks, pelvic pressure, heaviness, or core weakness when they return to running. This can happen because your body loads one leg at a time 2-3 times its body weight!

Our “From Bun to Run” guide will help you start a safe return to running postpartum program & feel more confident in your body along the way.

Start slow with both legs loaded-such as mini squats and dead lifts, and progress to adding the single leg activity in the guide.

🤍 Postpartum moms, do you want an activity that will help you feel so much relief immediately after birth?

Or

Maybe you are worried about the pressure or heaviness you feel in your pelvic floor after baby.

At the end of each day, or after being on your feet a lot, place a couple pillows or a wedge under your bum and lie there for 10-15 min and just breathe.

My clients who do this have less pelvic heaviness, and overall have better postpartum check ups with me.

I love pairing this with some calming music and breath work exercises like this:

Inhale 4, exhale 4, and hold for 4 seconds

Let me know how it feels!

💪🏻 Moms have you struggled with picking baby up, or even with lifts once returning to work outs after baby? ⬇️

Even as physical therapist both Meagan and I have to help each other with simple cues.

Often it is about small adjustments at the right time with 1-2 other home exercises to help make a deadlift feel better.

Meagan even said to me, “That makes me feel like my core is more engaged!”

In this session, I helped Meagan improve her deadlift with subtle posture corrections, stacking ribs over pelvis, and refining knee position for better alignment and connection.

We love helping moms move with more control, confidence, and efficiency—whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or returning to strength training after baby.

Sometimes the smallest cue creates the biggest shift. 💪🏻

➡️ Moms check out this C-Section Scar Massage with movement!

After a C-section, scar tissue can create tension that limits movement, causes discomfort, or might even affect your core and pelvic floor health.

Many of the moms we see say they can not even feel their body over the scar OR past the scar.

This gentle technique in tall kneel adds mobility to your massage - helping the tissue glide better as your body moves, and may help you connect with the c-section scar.

Other amazing results you might get:
➡️ Scar desensitization
➡️ Core connection
➡️ Reduced pulling or tightness
➡️ Confidence with movement

Your c-section scar should be fully healed before beginning around 8 weeks.

Start very gently over the skin and as your body adapts you can apply a little more pressure to the fascia and muscles.

⬇️ Comment below what concerns you have with healing after c-section birth

Moms you shouldn’t have to wonder if your body is ready for birth or hope everything just “works out,”…like I did.

I knew nothing about supporting my body in pregnancy and postpartum 24 years ago.

So I dug in and spent the last 2 decades learning, mentoring, and building a team to help you feel strong, supported, and confident in what your body can do.

Are you a pregnant mom and want to feel more prepared for birth? You don’t have to figure it out alone.

We are here ready to support you.

📌 Pregnant & Postpartum Moms, this needs to be in your motherhood toolbox...🧰

➡️ This ball can be used to work on knots in your back, or bum, & it can also work to release deep hip muscles, the pelvic floor, and more!

➡️ When you use this “dog” ball you create flexibility and mobility in your pelvic floor that takes stress off your tailbone.

➡️ Taking stress and pain off the tailbone & releasing PF muscle tension helps the tailbone and sacrum to move nicely out of the way in birth so baby can pass through your pelvis with greater ease!

➡️ Releasing tension in the PF can relieve pain with intimacy.

Release to this area of your pelvic floor is a manual approach done with our team to prep mama’s body for birth & heal postpartum!

New mom? Wait at least 6-8 weeks & being cleared by your provider before trying this tool BUT like & save it for later so you can come back and learn!

My fav is to release sitting “criss cross apple sauce” while doing my makeup!

Try it today and tell me how it feels 👇🏼

📍Pregnant moms did you know that it isn’t just about the perineum and 1st layer muscles that need to release tension for birth?

Prepping the pelvic floor muscles is not just about safe and gentle perineal massage for birth prep.

It is also about how springy the 3rd layer pelvic bowl muscles are!

So many moms have pelvic bowl muscles that feel very hard like rock with little give when assessed.

Sometimes it is because they are unconsciously holding tension and other times it is their muscles resting tone.

This increase tension can make it difficult for baby to pass through the pelvis in birth.

And most moms don’t even know it without having had us assess their pelvic floor.

🤍 Want to know if your pelvic floor needs manual support for birth?

Our pelvic floor PT team of pregnancy experts assesses this in therapy so your body can be ready for baby to come!

We would love to support you as you prepare for birth!
