Q & A
I have no experience working on myself, is the program right for me?
Yes! No prior experience is required. When you are ready, the transformation will occur.
I will support you through each step and you get to decide your pace. That way, you’ll know exactly what your body needs in order to fully recover and you can do it easily and safely.
What kind of equipment do I need?
Very little! You will be able to find the link of my favorite pieces of equipment directly in the referral list.
I usually advise my clients to get: a small Pilates ball, a pair of TheraBand, an exercise ball, and some resistance bands.
I just gave birth but I haven't had my 6 weeks check up yet, can I start the program?
Yes! I develop highly specific early postpartum plans respecting all postpartum challenges and safe to be done before your 6 weeks check up. I am all about helping you recover from birth and prepare your abdominal and pelvic floor recovery for the first part of the program. This program can be started around week 4 postpartum
It's been weeks, months or even years since I gave birth, is the program right for me?
Yes! Especially if you still feel that your abdominal muscles are weak and/or you experience pain during sex, hip pain, urinary leaks and incontinence or even just that “everything isn’t right down there”.
I have diastasis recti, will the program help me?
Yes, yes and yes! We focus on core-pelvic floor re-connection in that program.
This is a staple and mandatory step to heal your diastasis recti.
The exercises I use in your program will be diastasis recti safe and designed to close the gap.
I often pee myself a little since I gave birth, can the program help me?
Yes! I focus on core-pelvic floor re-connection in that program, mandatory to heal pelvic floor dysfunctions leading to urinary leaks.
I will still advise you to seek the help of a physical therapist if needed.
What kind of exercises are part of the program?
Posture-based exercises: we place a great emphasis on correcting your posture during and after your pregnancy. This is a mandatory step to address any weaknesses, imbalances or past injuries you might be suffering from.
Mobility exercises: exercises that are designed to help you restore your body’s mobility, avoid injuries, and improve your flexibility.
Core and pelvic floor connection: the staple of our approach. With our re-patterning breathing exercises, you will develop stronger abs and learn to control your pelvic floor muscles. It’s a non-negotiable for birth prep and postpartum recovery.
Strengthening exercises: perfect to help you develop the strength needed to feel better in your own body and in your daily life.
Cardio exercises: endurance is such an important aspect of birth prep but also of postpartum recovery. We use a very specific strategy to prepare you for the demands of labor and help you increase your fitness level as an extremely busy new mom who needs tons of energy!
Mindful movement: each and every of our exercises are designed with mindful movement in mind. We use only exercises that are designed to function and feel better.
Relax and unwind: we use guided meditations and stretches exercise to help you decrease your stress level and work on your mindset.
