COME ALONG TO MY 4 MONTH POSTPARTUM CLIENT SESSION! 🚀

This is what intentional, functional rebuilding looks like. We’re moving beyond basic exercises and preparing her body to be strong, mobile, and athletic again—all while respecting the changes from pregnancy and birth.

Today’s focus was on building multi-planar strength and safely progressing impact readiness:

✅ Foundation: Child’s Pose Breathing & Half Kneeling MB Rotations (Restoring rib cage mobility)
✅ Pelvis Mobility & Rotational Strength: Half Kneeling MB Throws & Half Kneeling Windmill Press (Building dynamic core control for life!)
✅ Impact Prep: Single-Leg Landing Work & Assisted Rhythmic Pogos & Yielding Squat (Teaching the body to absorb and transfer force for running/jumping).

This program isn’t about shrinking. It’s about building forward with functional, purposeful strength!

You deserve better than the sneeze-and-pee dance. 😭

If a cough, sneeze, or quick burst of laughter leaves you running for the bathroom or crossing your legs, you are not alone.

The leaking, the heaviness, the fear of jumping jacks—it is exhausting and it makes you feel disconnected from your own body.

👉 Swipe through this post for the 5 Signs that your core needs intentional retraining. You’ll understand why that low back ache and unsupported feeling happens!

Your body isn’t broken; it needs to be taught how to manage pressure again. We don’t skip to the hard stuff. We build the foundation first💪.

Your core strength is about to change. 💥 The missing piece?

Tension in a LENGTHENED position!

Too often, we only train the core in a shortened, braced state. But building a resilient core that truly supports your pelvic floor and back requires control as you lengthen (eccentric loading). This is where the magic happens!

Challenge your abs like never before: Eccentric loading + full exhales = core fire! 🔥🔥🔥

Try these 5 intermediate to advanced exercises to feel the difference:

1️⃣ Dead Bug with Pullover
2️⃣ Bench Assisted Opposite Arm & Leg Extension
3️⃣ Tall Kneeling Recline
4️⃣ Knee to Chest to Hollow Hold
5️⃣ Wall Knee Plank with Hamstring Walk Out

Build a core that’s strong AND resilient for motherhood.

Tired of the superficial “bounce back” pressure? Let’s talk about real postpartum recovery! 💪

True strength and freedom postpartum come from a whole-body approach that often gets overlooked.

👉This carousel dives into why focusing on your body’s major connection points is absolutely crucial for addressing common symptoms like leaking, heaviness, or ongoing back pain:

✅ Rib Cage: Essential for optimal breathing mechanics and managing core pressure.
✅ Pelvis: Its position directly impacts the tension, length, and pressure management for your pelvic floor.
✅ Feet: Your body’s foundation—stability starts here!

Pregnancy creates incredible changes, and truly healing means looking beyond isolated symptoms to how your entire body integrates.

You deserve to feel:

💪 Strong and capable for everyday mom life.
😍 Symptom-free while doing the activities you love.
🔥Empowered in your body, not just fit into old clothes.

Hey, I’m Julie!

I coach women who need guidance in pregnancy and postpartum fitness. I give them the tools and support to have better birth experiences and easier postpartum recoveries.

I am a Pre and Postnatal Corrective Exercise Specialist and I have a Bachelor and Master’s degree in Exercise Science. I also spent 15 years of my life as a high level competitive swimmer. I have years of experience in coaching but my personal journey as a pregnant woman and mother of 3 beautiful children is what lit my passion to empower women like YOU in this stage of life.

And when I’m not educating or empowering women in pregnancy and postpartum, I can be found enjoying a walk with my family and my dog Bella. I also love to plan our family vacations to the beach and swim outside in the summertime.

If you’re dying to know more, here are 5 things you don’t know about me...
