PRENATAL & POSTPARTUM
GET DEEPLY CONNECTED TO YOUR BODY AS YOU...
Getting ready for birth is great, but it's even BETTER to gather resources for birth AND postpartum TOGETHER.
That's why I've bundled my Prenatal & Postpartum Programs, to improve comfort through pregnancy, prepare the body and mind for birth and recovery after baby!
P.S. Keep reading to see why these 2 programs are the perfect match ❤️
Build BIRTHING competence with my action oriented method to birth preparation. And know what to do to enhance your HEALING after birth.
AND WHAT ABOUT HEALING POSTPARTUM?
Ease into recovery sooner and at a pace that's appropriate, safe and feels good for YOU!
POSTPARTUM BEGINS AFTER BIRTH, NOT AT 6 WEEKS.
Before 6 weeks, moms are lifting, carrying or even walking around with their baby. This takes core, this takes effort, this is why waiting 6 weeks to begin recovery is bogus! This isn't about starting a tedious exercise routine immediately, but it is about becoming aware of your body's posture, movement habits and connection to mind.
P.S. let's release the narrative that all bodies are healed and ready for the same thing by 6 weeks postpartum (or even 5 months or 2 years).
BEGIN WHERE YOU ARE.
You don't have to be the postpartum mom on the TV show that looks like she was never pregnant by 3 weeks postpartum. I sure as hell wasn't! Or the mom that is scared to do a plank for a year worrying her diastasis is going to "get worse."
Supporting postpartum moms from week 0 and beyond. It's like having a pelvic PT in your pocket.
Welcome to an educational series with simple exercises and strategies that offer support and guidance postpartum!
BETTER YET, GET BOTH PROGRAMS

I'M DR. ASHLEY! AND 11 YEARS AGO I WAS . . .
I'm a mom of 2 spirited girls, yoga student/teacher and doctor of physical therapy.
Frustrated by back pains during baby #2 pregnancy, I asked for help to feel more comfortable, but all I got was a pregnancy support belt. It was descent bandaid, but NOT the the fix for me.
My first pregnancy was pain free, meaning my back, hips and pelvis felt completely fine. I worked right up until I gave birth with baby #1.
But with baby #2, my body felt different and my low back was not making it easy for me to walk or stand comfortably, yet, I suffered through it since I didn't know anyone that specialized in helping out pregnant mamas back then.
P.S. At that time I was working in orthopedics, not yet with pregnant mamas or the pelvic floor!
It's as if I was in the woods, I knew the destination, but my gps system was just spinning, stuck in rerouting. I decided moms can have better support and care through pregnancy... so, I took matters into my own hands, educated myself, trained in pelvic health, pregnancy and postpartum care and now get to share what I've learned with others!
Here's to better supported prenatal & postpartum care!
