Class Description

As a perinatal osteopath and postpartum recovery coach, I have created this program for moms like you who want to take back control of their health, body, and life! Here is a short introductory class to help you get started and take the first steps towards a full and complete recovery! Each session is about 30 minutes long. These are follow-along sessions. In each and every session I will take you through: Some mobility exercises to help you correct your posture and get rid of all the tensions you might feel in your back, or any tightness around the hip, shoulders, and neck Some Abs Recovery specific exercises: these are especially good if you have diastasis recti. I will teach you how to breathe so you can engage the deepest layer of your abdominal muscles - super helpful to help strengthen your abdomen and get your belly to come back in How to workout AND protect your pelvic floor - something often missed when we keep on doing "regular" core exercises and that could lead to prolapse for instance Make sure you've been cleared out for exercise by your PCP before beginning this recovery program. If you have been diagnosed with hypertension, please refrain to do the "vacuum" action in the DCP breathing exercise - you will see what I mean in just a minute when you'll turn on the videos! This program is the perfect intro and kick-off to your postpartum recovery. If you have been struggling with "the mommy pouch", back pain, hip pain, or just feeling like yourself again, you will highly benefit from these 3 introductory sessions!
