'STRONG IN MOTHERHOOD' MONTHLY POSTPARTUM PROGRAMS

Programs

Resources

These program has been designed to help you rebuild your core strength, pelvic floor function, progress strength movements week by week,  so you can return to the barbell knowing that what you are doing and how you are lifting is benefitting your long term performance. Lay your foundation, rehab with intention and build strength & trust in your body again. The programs educates and brings awareness to the fundamentals of a successful postpartum recovery; from breathing mechanics, deep core and pelvic floor connection, posture, signs of dysfunction, and more!

The Return to Strength program has been created after working with many pregnant and postpartum athletes over the years, and trialed and tested through my own postpartum recovery. Whether you had a vaginal or cesarean birth, I have a program for you.

Feel strong and thrive during motherhood

What's Included:

A well rounded program that provides you with the tools to understand and approach your individual recovery

Week by week workouts that progress while you do. I designed this program to change with you as you rehab and rebuild strength. No week is the same, which means you can repeat weeks until you feel ready to progress

Comprehensive postpartum education. The e-book includes educational content and videos ranging from; diaphragmatic breathing, TA activation, the pelvic floor, prolapse management, how to check for diastasis recti, C-section specific approaches, return to running and more.

App based program with video demonstrations of each exercises. 40+ page e-book is included with your purchase. This is a self-paced, DIY program.

12 week program, only. At this point, overall function has improved and you have a baseline strength. You're starting to feel more connected to your body. Here, we increase the difficulty and complexity of movements.

PHASE 3

Rebuild

Once you have received clearance from your Dr and/or pelvic floor PT, you can begin this phase of the program (week 3 onwards). Here, we progress our core exercises and introduce functional bodyweight, basic dumbbell work, balance and stability all at an easy to moderate intensity.

PHASE 2

Foundational Strength

Weeks 1-2 of this program can be completed from as early as 2+ weeks postpartum. We begin with gentle, ground based movements that connect the deep core and pelvic floor, focus on hip mobility, basic glute strength and posture.

PHASE 1

Core & Pelvic Floor

This program is for you, if:

You were active pre/during pregnancy, but are unsure how to safely return to the barbell without compromising your core or pelvic health

You are overwhelmed by all the conflicting information out there about how to approach a safe return to fitness

You are specifically looking for a program that supports this new phase of life

You feel confident in approaching a program without form feedback or a personalized approach and just want a structured program to optimize your healing and help you thrive postpartum

You are comfortable doing a program at your own pace. This is NOT a follow along workout with me doing the workouts with you. 

You are willing to make the financial investment and are committed to the training. This is a self paced, DIY program. I can guide you and provide the tools however YOU are doing the work.

"Even though I had returned to running prior to your program, I’ve always felt an imbalance, especially from my back extensors over compensating. Although I have a PT background, I haven’t had the mental space to figure out my own programming which I have always loved to do in the past - before baby. I felt an immediate change after week one. My body feels in sync during my workouts, runs, daily walks with my little man in his carrier. Thank you so much for the program. You’re doing wonderful things"

Emily makes the content and workouts easy to understand and incorporate into a new mom’s life. I feel confident and safe to return to my pre-baby workout routine with a new, more informed mindset. 10/10 would recommend to novice and professional athletes!

I’m on my second week with this program and already I’m starting to feel connected to by body again. I’m able to walk longer and feeling energized. I can’t wait to continue with this program and start the strength training workouts.
