Hey moms!
Virtual post natal rehab series
New start date: Tuesday August 3rd

If you’ve recently had a baby, this class is for you! Your body just grew an entire human being and then went through the trauma of labour and delivery. Your body deserves praise, rest, and proper recovery.

This is doctor-led rehabilitation designed to heal your core and pelvic floor, strengthen your glutes and postural muscles, and allow you to feel strong and capable in your body post-baby. These exercises are designed to help you prevent back pain, incontinence and other “symptoms of motherhood” that are often dismissed as normal. We will chat about all things post partum, including your eventual return to exercise, so that you can feel supported in your journey.

Join me on ZOOM Tuesdays and Fridays at 1:00pm. This may be covered by your benefits.

I’m here to help, mama!

Your labour may last 24-hours, but postpartum is forever.

As you continue along your pregnancy journey armed with an arsenal of medical professionals working tirelessly to support your health, it’s hard to imagine not having that same support post-baby.

The reality is: most mothers in North America are sent home to navigate recovery completely on their own. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

We want you to feel empowered in your body. Having a birth plan is great, but what if things don’t go according to plan? When should you seek care after birth?

What symptoms should you be looking for? How do you manage physical and hormonal changes all while being sleep-deprived and learning to care for a new baby?

When you work with a GrowCo professional, we’re here for you along your entire journey – from pre to postnatal. You don’t have to do it alone. Our online and in-person community is here to support you very step of the way. You’ll learn lessons and strategies that will stay with you for a lifetime.

It’s never too early to start learning and planning. Do you have questions about postpartum health? Send me DM, I’m here for you.

The next session of “Method For Moms” starts FEBRUARY 9. In this program you’ll receive:
- Lifetime access to the online GROWCO rehab & fitness studio with 50+ classes to suit your postpartum healing
- 10-week live health curriculum (Tuesdays 8:30-9:30pm EST)
- Digital guidebook
- Nutrition e-book
- All the support you need to guide you through this next phase of your journey as a mom

Have you ever visited a chiropractor or physiotherapist for an injury, and received a list of rehab exercises to do at home? Were you successful at completing your exercises on your own time? In my experience, most patients have a hard time being compliant with their rehab homework.

The physical toll of pregnancy and delivering a baby is often more taxing than recovering from a major car accident. Plus you’re expected to recover on your own, all while taking care of a brand new baby 24/7. The rehab that your body needs right now is next to impossible to fit into your schedule, unless you carve out this time for yourself. I am here to hold you accountable, while supporting you through doctor-led rehab and education from the comfort of your own home.

This is not a baby boot-camp class or an intense fitness class that your new body is not ready for. This is gentle, safe, and effective rehab so that you can lift your baby without hurting your back, feed your baby without excruciating neck pain, and return to activities you loved before having a baby without p*eing your pants. This is the rehab your body needs now, so that you don’t have issues over the next 40-50 years.

Next session starts this Tuesday January 5th! DM for more details and share with new moms!

If you’ve recently had a baby or know someone that has... READ ON:

New moms - congratulations! You’ve just given birth during a global pandemic. Now you’re left to heal your body with even less guidance than ever before, all while taking care of your brand new baby.

I’m here to guide you, so that you don’t suffer from the aches, pains and long-term issues arising from motherhood that we are often told are inevitable.

I have 2 options to help you:

1) Live, virtual post natal rehab classes hosted on ZOOM. Next session begins January 5th at 12:00. 8 sessions, 4 weeks. Recordings sent out after class if you’re unable to make it live. Can be covered by your extended health insurance.

2) GROWCO Method For Moms. An online streaming platform with 50+ post natal rehab classes to do on your own time. We’ve added a 10-week educational series with myself and Dr. Lydia Brodie. Link in bio to sign up!

It’s not normal to p*e your pants. It’s not normal to have back pain that prevents you from living your life. I want to help you get back to activities that you love both safely and effectively. I want you to feel strong and empowered in your new post partum body.

I’m here to help, mama! Please share with all new moms and DM with questions or signup details.

Always learning 🙌🏼
Spent the weekend with & some amazing colleagues, furthering our knowledge in advanced pediatric chiropractic care.
There are so many benefits for babies including managing colic, helping with tongue & lip ties, breastfeeding & latching issues, TMJ disorder, developmental milestones, primitive reflexes, and many more. I am now PIPS certified (Pediatric Intraoral Palate Specific Technique) and I can’t wait to continue to help infants and children of all ages.
