Are You a Mom Who...
...feels disconnected from their core or pelvic floor after baby?
...worries about leaks during a jump, lift, or even a sneeze?
...sees their belly dome or bulge during exercises, unsure if it's diastasis recti?
...struggles with persistent low back or pelvic discomfort that impacts daily life or workouts?
...feels weaker in the gym, or fears re-injury when trying to get back to heavy lifts or high-impact movements?
...is pregnant and wants to modify workouts safely but doesn't know how?
...is years postpartum but still feels like they haven't "gotten their body back" or regained full strength?
...is frustrated by conflicting advice on what's safe and effective for moms?
The journey through motherhood is incredible, but it also brings unique physical demands, especially when you're dedicated to your fitness. If any of these resonate, know that you're not alone. I understand these challenges deeply, and I'm here to help!
My Approach: Building Strength That Lasts
At Functional Foundations, I believe in building true, lasting strength that supports you through every stage of motherhood and beyond. My approach goes beyond just exercises; it's about empowering you with the knowledge and tools to move confidently, from the inside out.
- From the Inside Out: We start by reconnecting with your body's deepest layers – your breath, pelvic floor, and deep core – to establish a truly stable and powerful foundation.
Optimal Pressure Management: Learn how to effectively manage intra-abdominal pressure, protecting your core (including diastasis recti) and pelvic floor during all movements, from daily tasks to demanding workouts.
Holistic, Head-to-Toe Strength: My guidance integrates your entire body, from your feet to your head and neck, ensuring all parts work together for balanced strength, stability, and efficiency.
Strategic & Safe Progression: We build strength in the right way, progressing thoughtfully through phases to ensure you master each movement, minimize stress on your body, and confidently return to the fitness you love.
Empowering Education: You'll gain a deeper understanding of how your body works, empowering you to make informed choices and commit to lasting change.
This isn't just about getting back to where you were; it's about building a stronger, more resilient you.
