I had a major diastasis that led to years of chronic underlying stress which further deepened my struggles. YOUR protocol is YOUR own!!! Let's get you there!!

I am a mom of two sets of twins and went through major health issues after my second set of twins where I struggled with hormone balance, gut issues and many issues that summed up to "just not feeling right". After hitting a brick wall with conventional approaches to postpartum care and traditional doctors, I took matters into my own hands and developed the "Resilient Mama Method". I serve moms with children in elementary through high school who are struggling with fatigue, mood swings, lack of energy, constipation/bloating/gas, weight gain, pain and discomfort with exercise and a general feeling of "OMG! I just don't feel like myself!"

I am a 21 year career trainer with over 1,000 hours of advanced education in movement science, including a Fellowship in Applied Functional Science, advanced postpartum and women's health coaching. I am also a functional nutritionist as a Practitioner of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. It is my absolute passion to continue to grow my skillset and eduction to offer clients a premium service, with an intimate connection and produce the outcome of FREEDOM they desire! My Resilient Mama Method begins with functional labs that are used to gather objective information...NO MORE GUESSING what is going on based on how you feel. I use:

DUTCH hormone test
Vibrant America Gut Zoomer microbiome test
Vibrant America Food Sensitivity
Trace Minerals Hair Tissue Mineral Assessment

IN ADDITION to the results of these these tests, I hear YOU and listen to your insights about what you are experiencing through an extensive intake form and one on one interview. ONLY then do we initiate a protocol based on YOUR needs, not anyone else. I work with women from 4-6 months with options of long-term support. We meet for movement coaching (exercise) with ME (not a pre-filmed video) and one on one coaching support. YOUR outcome IS getting your LIFE back!! WITHOUT health, motherhood is a tremendous struggle and NOT fun. YOU deserve to feel good all the time!! Send me a DM if you are ready to accept that free
discovery call!!

The days are getting longer ☀️ and the garden is poppin!

Soon everyone and everything will be covered in yellow dust!

Immense gratitude to be here today to witness it all!!

* The other day, I asked a patient, “tell me what you know about pelvic health PT”. AND do you know what she said…”how much do you want to know!” WELL, you better believe, I went right out and with enormous glee told my preceptor…GUESS WHAT!!!

* Sadly, this is now a rarity. SO many women do understand the breadth of help that pelvic health PT can provide!!

* AND!!! It does not just stop with the PT, training as women does NOT just equal little pink 3 pound dumbbells, MAN we are SO much more.

* If you have ever had the privilidge of witnessing a woman labor and give birth to new life, you would realize the enormous athletic event that it entails.

* BUT…that is just the begining! Cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, sports…ALL of the things a mom must do hinge on her ability to move well, without dysfunction and pain. WE MUST be able to exercise to build the capacity to do all of these things!

* Gonzalez et al. (2025) found that pelvic floor dysfunction affects approximately 1 in 3 (32%–50%) women. That is way too much!!

* In 2019, ACOG found pelvic floor disorders should not be accepted as an inevitable consequence of childbirth and recommends postpartum screening and prompt referral to pelvic health PT.

WHAT a thrilling time to be in WOMEN’s health…the tide is shifting!

Yesterday I was talking to a client about the humor of being a new nurse, age 47 and in a second career.

🤔Challenging… Understatement of the century.
 🧐Humbling… Also understatement of the century!

• At least 10 times a shift I said to myself the one liner, "OK Amy you can do this."
 • Fumbling to find the right instrument • Not being able to open up a packet of gel fast enough • Almost spraying a bag of saline on a patient in an effort to switch lines

Just a few of the highlights.
💪🏻So… Training and nutrition again in my life must take center stage!

🌪️If each time one of these events occurred I launched into a major stress reaction and physically felt crushed at the end of every shift👉🏼👉🏼this journey would end pretty quickly.

The drills I am sharing with you today highlight some key areas that I am constantly working on:
• My feet • My hips • Anti-rotation through the core

Using allows me to load along an axis in multiple planes of motion.

👊🏻Because we cannot train the feet independent of the hips. 👊🏻And if we want our body to retain the memory of movement, load is important.

🙌I hope you enjoy these drills and layer them into your other already healthy habits to continue to build capacity and resilience!

🤗PS… if you are learning new things and feeling overwhelmed… Remember, "it's not hard, it's just new".

I am new to labor and delivery nursing and soaking it all in 🤍✨
�You may think that should be enough… But it definitely is not.

• I am not new to women's health and have more than two decades of coaching behind me.
�• That alone makes me completely unable to avoid delivering the powerful message of early intervention with pelvic floor disorders.

One of many benefits of going through the BSN is two full journal, articles, research guidance, and assignments on analyzing health policy 📚✍🏽
�• There is distinct connection between postpartum depression and pelvic floor disorders in the literature.

That alone should spur change in how women are treated in the anti, natal and postpartum period 🤰🏽🩺
�• And how we shaped the conversation about exercise, pelvic health and integrating those behaviors into a lifestyle.

Access is a big point of concern…
�• time, resources, and how to integrate exercise and specific drills for prevention and treatment is an important consideration.

As a nurse, one of my responsibilities is education and advocacy for the patient 💪🏽
�• And you better believe every single room that I go in with my preceptor , I'm asking the questions and advocating for my patience to see care after she meets her baby.

So when you look at these drills in this short 30 second reel sped up, 1.8 times… ⏱️
�• Can you see the pelvic floor connection?�• How the foot is talking to the hips, the rib cage, the shoulder all the way through to the fingertips…

Thanks for walking this journey with me 🤍
� I hope you're here all the way through to midwifery.

💪 Sustainability when it comes to health, fitness and nutrition equals: • access • consistency • flexibility • planning • and most of all efficiency

• Sometimes, that means following through on a plan when it is not convenient to achieve consistency.

• I have found that my perception of inconvenience often times it's just because… I really don't wanna do it right then.

🏥 The other day, it was inconvenient to step away from the desk as a Labor And Delivery nurse and perform these drills.

• But in less than six minutes, my body and brain felt completely different.

• The goal for these drills was to introduce a different range of motion and stressor to my tissues.

✨ Sustainability doesn't mean the simplest way to do things…

• To me it also means adopting the behaviors that allows habits and practices to become sustainable.

Enjoy the drills and have a great Wednesday! 💛

Over the last four years, it has been interesting to observe the delivery of health information in healthcare settings. 🏥

Due to the number of patients, complexity of illness and chronic symptoms, as well as the environment of the individual… delivering impactful health information is not clear cut.

I find myself often saying, "BUT we know so much more than what we are saying!"
• Oversimplification�• Underestimation�• Lack of strategy on how to implement

🌪️These are the three big things that I find frustrate me the most.

This morning, I listened to a podcast by .williamwallace on his podcast Daily Value. (Highly recommend!!!)

He delivered the mechanism of choline and its impact on anxiety.

💪🏻This simple 10 minute podcast provided a wealth of valuable information on how an individual can be empowered to impact a condition that can be debilitating.

Simply to be able to understand that a diagnosis such as anxiety can be addressed not only with lifestyle interventions but also with food. That is incredibly empowering.
But we don't talk about that.

We ignore specifics and speak only broadly, saying: Make sure you eat a "healthy diet".
But it is shocking to know how little people actually truly know and understand about nutrition other than calories…
• We want to keep them as low as possible.�• Oh, and protein, we should eat mostly protein.

It is a privilege to be in a position of influence in healthcare. 🤍

As a Labor And Delivery nurse, education is my favorite part!

And as I grow in this role and continue to work towards midwife, I vow to not just be frustrated by the things that I see, but to actively work towards change.

Have a great Monday! ☀️
🤗And remember, eat your choline. 🥚

I often wonder what would happen if we asked women the following questions who came in and expressed feelings of exhaustion, low mood, and frustration with being unable to participate in exercise… 🤔

• Do you have any foot pain? • Do you have back pain? • When was the last time you breathe really hard? • What do you think an exercise program looks like? • Can you tell me what a day or two of eating looks like for you? •👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼Are you having any pelvic floor symptoms… But first let me tell you what those symptoms might look like!

What would happen! What would happen if we just didn't hand off the message that this is just a season of life where you should come to expect some low energy, mood disturbance and yeah… Leak a little when you laugh.

OK, let's be real. I don't wonder what would happen. I know what would happen… We would transform a whole lot of women! 💪🔥

Now, what if we applied this process to healthcare professionals, specifically nurses! 👩‍⚕️🩺

Traditional exercise programming doesn't always work when you are a shift worker.
If you travel 45 minutes to work and your shift is not just 12 hours guys! It's 13 and sometimes 14 hours. Your turnaround time often is less than six. So what can we do to apply these questions to a population that serves so many?

Do we just write them off and tell them that it's a sacrifice they make for serving other others?
 No! 🚫

We give them tools… • Like meal timing 🍽️ • Addressing pelvic health issues that absolutely arise due to the compressive nature of shift work • We teach them how to microdose movement throughout the day 🏃‍♀️

Enjoy the drills, apply them to your world and remember… ✨

Little habits, done consistently add up to huge change! 💛

When I think about drills that will give me the most freedom of movement and prevent lower back pain, they are ones that allow my pelvis to move in all three planes of motion. 🔄

This is especially important in nursing!

👎🏼 Because… a strategy on how to pick up the box safely from the floor just does not cut it!

Those drills need to be driven from the bottom up and from the top down. Because in life, we experience drivers in the same way.

🤗We reach for things at different heights, we step in different directions, and sometimes our pelvis is rotated the opposite way of our rib cage.

Our body must know and experience how to accommodate.

Adding load to these patterns helps to reinforce in our brain how we can accept this movement and execute it well. 💪

Tack these drills onto a solid base strength program and you will really enjoy the results that you feel and experience as you move through life!

In fact, we know that exercise is a non-negotiable to be able to navigate life well and in a pain-free way.

So we must have a physical body that's able to perform exercise throughout the lifespan.
Thus, it makes complete sense that we protect our body's ability to move well.

Enjoy these drills. See if you can pick up on the three base patterns that I am working on using , dumbbells, and body weight.

Enjoy the day and see how many ways that you can move your pelvis today! ✨

"Supporting her through one of the most precious moments that she will remember for the rest of her life… A privilege to be unmatched." ~unknown ✨🤍

Longevity is incredibly important to me not only because of the work and effort it took to actually becoming a nurse but because my road does not stop here.

But there is reality and respect that needs to be had for the aging process. As you add shift work on top of that and strategy is essential.

Balance takes on a whole new meaning, not only in the physical sense that we should be balanced in tone and function, but also balanced mentally and emotionally.

Labor And Delivery nursing is not for the faint apart. I'm learning that quickly day by day.

The need for calm in chaos cannot come from a supplement, it comes from deep understanding and the power of experience.

Both of which I do not have yet as a novice nurse.

So right now I'm leaning on tools and strategies that will help to support longevity. In this type of nursing focus and attention to detail is essential.

This does not come from stimulants, it has to come from feeling balance.

These five drills helped me to fall back into balance. They took just about 6 1/2 minutes from start to finish.

Things to think about with these drills include: • Breathing into areas of tension with rotation 🌬️ • Focusing on reaching with the scapula • Squeezing into both end ranges • Basically my goal was to wring it out

Selfishly, I want to be in my best practice for every patient, because there is no finer reward as a nurse or a coach for that matter than when your patients say, "truly, thank you for encouraging me. Today, you made a really big difference." 🤍

Strategy… It matters.
 Giving, it's the greatest gift. ✨

I truly and completely love being a nurse. 🩺💙

And I honestly find so many similarities between what I'm doing now and what I've done for my entire career.

💪🏻Nursing at its core is coaching.

Coaching is caring and nursing is caring. ✨

👊🏻Both are an art form the goal is to leave your client or your patient feeling more empowered and better off than before they met you.

You want to pull out their innate strength, highlight them, and empower them to use it!

OK, so obviously I'm the newbie and if you read her in Nurse is fine discrepancy there that's where I'm at right now as a beginner! 🤗

But I hope I hold onto that! ☀️

Training has been the biggest variable that I have changed since Nursing School.

Nutrition and supplementation are really not changed except for increasing creatine to 10 g per day.

I am lifting four days per week, using high intensity intervals twice per week and swimming one day per week. 🏋️‍♀️🏊‍♀️

I have a lot more plyometrics into my training, I am not springy by nature, so this has been a super fun challenge!

On days when I work: I add movement snacks throughout a shift. ⏱️

Seven minutes of them at lunch break and seven minutes when I return home before sleep. Then, six minutes scattered throughout the shift, ultimately it totals up to about 20 minutes.

Huge benefit! 🙌

OK, kudos to you if you watched all my videos and read the caption. 💕
