The 4th trimester can be such a difficult time - sign up for this live workshop with an amazing physio to help you prepare!

If you are currently pregnant or know someone who is, please sign up for my upcoming workshop or send them the link. Being proactive in preparing for the first few months after delivery can make such a difference to healing and recovery. I wish I’d known how to prepare for this time. Workshop is live and there will be lots of time for questions!

👋 Who here is really good at ignoring their back pain??

We all do it!

We need to get this project done.

We need to do one last thing before lunch.

We need to finish this task before the kids get home.

We don’t have time right now. We will do something about it later.

And then?

Tension builds, pain sets in, stretching doesn’t help, and we end up taking pain medication to get to sleep. 👎

What if we listened when our back STARTED to get tight?

What if we stopped and tried to do something different AT THAT MOMENT to help?

🥳 The tension stops building and our pain doesn’t reach that terrible end-of-day level!


…and it is SO MUCH EASIER to release a little bit of tension than a whole lot of pain.

Here are some suggestions to try when you start to feel back tension building:

✅ Change Positions
Can you keep doing the same activity but change the position to be happier for your back?

✅ Check Your Sitting Posture
Sit to THE BACK OF YOUR CHAIR and use a lumbar support. (Insert my ergonomic soapbox here!)

✅ Get Moving!
2 minutes of standing + a little walk to grab some water can make a big difference.

✅ Do One Stretch
Pick one stretch that feels good and do it!

Are you ready to RELEASE your back pain? DOORS ARE OPEN 🎉

Back Pain is Frustrating.

Especially when it keeps coming back.

There are many layers to why you are experiencing back pain and why it keeps returning.

But once you UNDERSTAND these layers, you can Unravel and Release your pain.

Common feedback from my clients:
‘I didn’t realize learning how to connect and listen to my body was SO IMPORTANT to relieving my back pain.’

‘After this program, the mid back ache I always had with sitting is GONE.’

Trying to fix your back pain on your own is SO OVERWHELMING.

✨ Joining the Back Pain Release Program will turn the overwhelm to CONFIDENCE. ✨

If you are ready to release the grip of your back pain, send me a DM and we will see if the Back Pain Release Program is right for you!
