In working with moms and talking with PT students, recent graduates and personal trainers, I have found that a lot of people want to work with moms, but don’t know where to start. In response to the need, I developed a course that will empower you to empower moms to thrive throughout motherhood.
This course will help you do the following:
-address muscle imbalance, urine leakage, sexual fulfillment, internal confidence and core stability through analyzing her diet, exercise, social interactions, stress and sleep patterns
-address the needs that are unique to moms who have had babies via c-section especially as it relates to scar tissue and reducing belly fat
-instruct a mom in the best way to prepare for delivery, the safest positions to assume during delivery, things to do while in the hospital, ways to protect her body and what to expect during the first 6 weeks, perform a return-to-fitness assessment and help a mom get back into shape after having her baby.
-treat mothers so that they can return to who they were physically, mentally, emotionally and intimately

Katherine is an amazing resource for mamas “new” and “old!” With my first baby, I guess ignorance was bliss because I knew virtually nothing about pelvic floor health and protection during and after pregnancy. But with my second, I had some postpartum concerns and Katherine gave me exercises and guidelines for returning to the exercises I was accustomed to doing that are keeping my body safe, strong and healthy for different stages of my postpartum journey…I would recommend that EVERY postpartum mom at least have a consultation with her because the information that she has to share is invaluable for even the most textbook pregnancy, delivery and recovery!

The remarkable thing that took place in the releasing of the scar was that I have had pain in my lower abdomen for YEARS and I no longer suffer from it. The doctor explained this was scar tissue and to remove it would require another surgery which would in turn produce more scar tissue. 😩 Well, in the releasing of the scar, Mrs. Katherine removed that pain!!! If you are experiencing incontinence of any kind, please allow Mrs. Katherine to assist you… You will be surprised at how scar tissue affects other areas of your body. It is worth the investment! It will change your life! I saw an immediate improvement in my scar area and it has had a lasting effect on me physically and emotionally!
