Hi! I am an orthopedic and pelvic floor PT with 10 years of experience in strength and conditioning and a passion for helping active individuals stay strong throughout all stages of life. I specialize in working with runners, pregnant and postpartum individuals, and helping them build strength, move confidently, and continue participating in the activities they love.

FAQs
How soon can I start this program after delivering my baby?
It depends! If you lifted weights all the way through your pregnancy (within the two weeks of delivering) then you may be ok to start at 4 weeks postpartum. We do not recommend earlier than that. However, it is strongly recommended you get clearance from your medical team before starting.
I have pelvic floor symptoms. Will this program help?
This is not a substitute for pelvic floor physical therapy. It is imperative to be evaluated by a pelvic floor PT if you are having symptoms. It is difficult to know what your pelvic floor needs and in some cases, you can't strength train your way out of symptoms.
