The journey back to activity after childbirth deserves more than a standard "cleared for exercise" approach. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach, and mother, I provide the specialized guidance you need to safely and confidently return to the forms of exercise you love. My postpartum program bridges the critical gap between standard clearance for exercise and full return to sport, ensuring you build a strong foundation for long-term strength and wellness.

My evidence-based approach goes beyond basic postpartum recovery to help you:

  • Rebuild core strength and restore pelvic floor function

  • Address diastasis recti and other postpartum conditions

  • Promote safe and structured exercises to help build strength and restore function

  • Regain confidence in your body's capabilities

  • Return to running, skiing, hiking, and other activities safely

  • Optimize movement patterns for the demands of motherhood

  • Prevent future injuries through proper movement patterns

  • Create sustainable, long-term fitness habits

Common Questions

  • We can begin working together to gently connect with your breath and deep core muscles within the first few weeks after delivery. If you’ve had complications, you may need to receive clearance from your healthcare provider first. Early intervention with appropriate exercises can significantly improve your recovery trajectory.

  • It's never too late to optimize your postpartum recovery. Whether you're 6 weeks, 6 months, or 6 years postpartum, I'll meet you where you are and create a program that addresses your current needs.

  • Every woman's journey is different, but I’ll create progressions to help you safely return to activity. Most clients begin reintegrating modified versions of their favorite activities between 3-6 months postpartum, with full return to sport typically occurring between 6-12 months.

  • Absolutely! I have specific protocols for both vaginal and cesarean births, ensuring your program addresses your unique recovery needs.
