I have certifications as a Pre and Postnatal Corrective Exercise Specialist, Diastasis and Core Consultant. I studied for these because I struggle myself after my first baby was born. I had lingering abdominal separation, and pelvic floor weakness — but I was DYING to get back to the intense exercise I loved. I now have a signature Mamma Core Method I teach inside my Strong Sexy Mammas fitness membership. If you’re looking for a place to get started. DOWNLOAD this free Pelvic Floor Guide for Busy Moms.

Maybe you're one of them. That's okay!!

That’s why I created my FREE Pelvic Floor Guide for Busy Moms.

You can visualize the pelvic floor as a hammock or sling that holds up your uterus, bladder, and bowel. Their openings, the vagina, urethra, and anus pass through the pelvic floor.
