Mothering the Mother Begins Here: Postpartum Phase I Training
This is the service that mothers you when you need it most. Postpartum Phase I Training meets you where you are. Shirtless, covered in formula or breast milk? I’ve got you. Weepy, confused, exhausted? I’ve got you. Elated, in love and maybe even on top of the world?! I’ve got you too.
Ready to move and feel more like yourself again?! Oh, yes. I’ve definitely got you.
Postpartum Phase I training begins when YOU are ready and this looks quite different for everyone. You might be ready within a few weeks or maybe not for several months or longer. If we haven’t met yet, your best place to start will be with a free initial consultation. From there, we can create a plan to Mother You.
Each week, we will progress your training focusing on addressing those common postpartum aches and pains, core and pelvic floor restoration, overall strength training and cardiovascular fitness. We will end each session with a relaxing mediation and stretching session so that you leave feeling rejuvenated, calm, connected to your body and ready for all that is motherhood.
After one decade of working with new moms professionally, from having been a new mom myself (twice), from being a sister to a new mom and a friend to many, many new moms, I know that we must honor this phase and I aim to do just that. I aim to meet you where you are in your recovery, to hold space for your story and needs, to provide resources and support, to design progressive and individualized exercise programming appropriate for your unique stage of recovery so you may return to your beloved fitness activities safely and with greater ease.
The Bodies for Birth® methodology for Postpartum Recovery works and it’s your first stop for postpartum fitness once you’re ready to get moving again! It nourishes and stabilizes, strengthens and empowers, provides and supports…and it will do the same for you.
