Postpartum exercises to restore, regain and retrain your body.
This is a self-led, 3 month email program that you can do anytime, on your own time!
The series is ideal for moms 1 week - 12 months postpartum, but is suitable for anyone no matter how far out of birth you may be.
After the 12 week program you will feel:
The 4th Trimester Strength Series has all you need to reconnect with your pelvic floor while regaining strength in the areas that need it most: core, back, hips and legs.
Within minutes of birth, your body is on a repair and restore journey that typically lasts 1 year. That is why it is important to engage in slow and controlled movements, paying close attention to your alignment, breathing and coordination.
Before you can train, you need to retrain. Birth is the most physically challenging experience you will ever go through. That is why your goal for the first 12 months postpartum should be focused on building a solid foundation that includes core strength, connecting with your pelvic floor, learning proper posture and core breathing.
As you progress through the 12 weeks, you will begin to regain your strength and confidence. Each week you will receive an email which includes a video with safe and effective exercises that can be done in the comfort of your home. This program requires less than 15 minutes a day, 3 days a week — easy to fit in to your busy Mom schedule.

Why did I create this program?
I believe that every experience we have in life leads us down a certain path. We always have two choices: to learn from it and rise above, or let it drag us down.
I suffered a major back injury in 2011 that left me barely able to walk, let alone fitness train. I was devastated. I wasn’t sure what it all meant at the time but two years after my injury, I learned that I had a weak core and pelvic floor dysfunction despite feeling the fittest and strongest I had ever been.
While I was still recovering and understanding more about my pelvic floor health and core rehabilitation, I then witnessed the lack of support and knowledge my wife was given, both before and after the birth of our son. I knew something was missing. I had been the in the health and fitness industry for many years and I saw the gap in the care women receive about their bodies and how I could better support them in their postpartum recovery.
What I learned is that core strength was not directly related to the amount of crunches, sit-ups, high impact exercises, heavy weight lifting or things like Crossfit or marathons one can do. Our pelvic floor is our foundation: it sets the stage for all other movement and exercises. Healing, recovery and core strength must start here.
I have made it my mission to educate and motivate women to take care of their health from a place of empowerment and courage — body, mind, and soul.
What other moms are saying about the program:
“I love how easy the videos are to follow and the personal stories you have included. So relateable and accessible.” -Jenna
“The videos are very helpful! I also love the beginning of the emails, how you add something personal in them or something to get our minds thinking."
-Crystal
“I like the simple, clear and easy to follow videos and weekly exercise progressions. I'm already feeling stronger.”
-Shannon
"I love that I can do the exercises anytime I want. They are easy but engaging and I feel like I am working muscles that I have not used in a while. I love knowing what to focus on, and that it's safe for this stage of my postpartum recovery. My pelvic floor is feeling tighter and I have no problems peeing. And my husband says, I've recovered more quickly after this pregnancy then my previous 2! ;-)"
