✨ From C-Section Recovery to Crossing the Turkey Trot Finish Line!!!

Amanda came to see Dr. Kaitlyn after her second C-section feeling frustrated and discouraged.

Simple, everyday movements felt hard...
Getting out of bed.
Reaching into cupboards.
Anything overhead.
Running? That felt completely out of reach. She was hesitant to even say it out loud as a goal.💔

So we started where healing truly begins:
✔️ Breath work to reconnect her core
✔️ Gentle manual therapy to support tissue healing
✔️ Graston techniques to help her C-section scar recover and move freely

As her daily movements became pain-free and her strength returned, we progressed intentionally — single-leg strength, core control, stability work — building her body back in a way that supported her whole system.

And this past year?
She ran the Turkey Trot!!!🦃🏃‍♀️
Not just finished it — but ran it feeling strong, supported, and confident in her body🙌

Now she’s looking ahead to continuing to run pain-free… and maybe even signing up for a half marathon👏

This is what pelvic floor therapy is about.
Not just reducing pain — but restoring confidence, strength, and possibility after birth.

Dr. Kaitlyn felt truly honored to walk alongside Amanda in this season of healing.

If you’ve been feeling unsure about what your body is capable of postpartum, know this:
Your goals are still possible. You just might need the right support to get there.

🤍 Postpartum healing was never meant to be done alone.

Those early months can feel nonstop. You’re caring for your baby around the clock… and somehow expected to “fit in” your own recovery too. That’s exactly why at Nurtiva, your baby is always welcome in the room.👶

You don’t need to choose between showing up for yourself and caring for your little one — you get to do both!

✨ While Dr. Kaitlyn guides you through intentional core and pelvic floor recovery, Dr. Leslie can gently support your baby with calming Craniosacral therapy right alongside you.

Because when mom feels strong and supported… and baby’s nervous system feels regulated and calm… everything shifts.

No scrambling for childcare.
No putting your healing on hold.
No doing this season by yourself.

Just compassionate, whole-family care designed for real life.🫶
📲 DM us to schedule your FREE Discovery Call and let’s create a plan that supports both you and your baby, together!

🫶Motherhood isn’t meant to be done alone.

Postpartum can be beautiful, but it can also be hard — emotionally, physically, and everything in between. That’s why we’re creating a space for mamas to come as they are, to connect, share, and feel supported.

Join us this coming Monday Milk Party Support Group with Becky Franzen from Brave Breastfeeding 🍼

✨ It’s FREE
✨ It’s welcoming to all mamas and their babies
✨ It’s a safe, cozy place to ask questions, find encouragement, and just breathe

Let’s lift each other up through this wild, beautiful postpartum season.
🍼 February 23rd
⏰ 9:30-10:30AM
📍Nurtiva Therapy Clinic

Motherhood was never meant to be done solo. Come find comfort, community, and a village that gets it 🤍

This missing step is why lifting feels off postpartum…👀

If your workouts feel weak, disconnected, or you’re dealing with leaking, pressure, or back pain… it’s not because you need to push harder.

It’s because most moms skip the foundation.

Before you add weight, your body needs:

✨ Breathwork + deep core connection
✨ Coordination between your core + pelvic floor
✨ Slow, intentional progression

What this actually looks like 👇
1️⃣ Start on your back — reconnect breath + deep core
2️⃣ Add resistance (like a band) while staying connected
3️⃣ Progress to standing — maintaining control before load

This is how you rebuild strength from the inside out — not by jumping straight into heavy lifts and hoping it feels right.

Your core + pelvic floor should work with your lifts… not fight against them.🤍

If you want to feel strong, stable, and confident lifting (without guessing what’s safe), this is exactly why we created our Beginner Lifting Workshop at Nurtiva on March 4th.

You’ll learn:
✔️ How to properly engage your deep core + pelvic floor
✔️ How to breathe and brace during lifts
✔️ How to build strength without symptoms

Comment READY and we’ll send you all the details about our March 4th workshop at Nurtiva Clinic. 💪
