Restorative postnatal pilates for your core and pelvic floor.

Motherbody Birth Rehab is a post-birth body recovery strategy for mothers.

How would it be to feel better in your mama body? 

What if you felt more at home, more comfortable, less pain, less leaking?

What if you felt you could trust your body again, and rely on her to carry your velcro baby for hours on end, or lift your wriggly toddler up to the slide without straining your pelvis or feeling as if your insides might fall out?

Motherbody Birth Rehab includes the fundamentals you need to know to help rehabilitate your body after giving birth. 

Whether you're within the first forty days of motherhood or you've already lived four or five years as a mother, if you feel like your core is a bit squishy, leaky, and unreliable, then this course is appropriate for you.

Motherbody Birth Rehab will help you re-connect with and re-coordinate all the muscles stretched and stressed during pregnancy and birth, and ultimately return them to the state of responsiveness needed for every day life. As a consequence of learning how your 'core system' works, you might just notice your posture improves, your 'core' feels more connected, and you feel calmer, less stressed and more at home in your body.

Wouldn't that feel good?

"Doing the Motherbody course has given me the knowledge and tools to be able to incorporate exercises into my everyday life."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Motherbody Birth Rehab course & highly recommend it to any woman who has had a baby. I started the course when my daughter was 3 months old and without a doubt my body has been able to recover faster as a result. I am much more in tune with my body, in particular when bending over to pick up my daughter as I am now conscious of engaging my core first.
Doing the Motherbody course has given me the knowledge and tools to be able to incorporate exercises into my everyday life. I am also able read how I'm feeling and attend to the areas of my body before they flare up. I feel I would be a lot tighter in the neck, shoulders and back areas otherwise.
Thank you Sophie for a fantastic course."

"I feel much more confident that I can develop my strongest body ever whilst being patient and attending to my pelvic floor."

"When I was nearly 6 weeks postpartum I embarked on Sophie's online Birth Rehab postnatal pilates class. And I am so glad that I did!! Sophie has a strong commitment to helping each mum to build an accurate connection with our pelvic floor and develop an understanding as to how the pelvic floor recovers in unison with your breathing. I loved the way she armed you with this knowledge for life...rather than just delivering a set of movements without explaining the meaning behind them. I feel much more confident that I can develop my strongest body ever whilst being patient and attending to my pelvic floor in the first instance. Thank you Sophie for helping us mama’s get our strength and confidence back!"

In Motherbody Birth Rehab, we'll work with the principles of the pilates method to learn exercises and practices that are safe for your healing pelvic floor, abdominals and any core injuries you might be working with.

 

We'll cover breathing, alignment, pelvic floor and abdominal activation, and how to move your body safely in your everyday life with special care and attention on managing common 'core injuries' such as leaking, prolapse, diastasis, pelvic pain and any healing episiotomy or cesarean wounds.

This isn't an exercise program focused on toning up and fitting into your pre pregnancy clothes, although these might be a side effect of doing the work. Instead this is a place where you can learn how to help your body recover from the challenges of pregnancy, birth and mothering, whilst also taking into account your specific needs as a mother including;

  • Healing from pregnancy and birth
  • Sleep deprivation
  • Not having much (any!) time alone
  • Exhaustion
  • Nutritional needs and hormonal changes if you're breastfeeding
  • The aches caused by looooong hours of holding and rocking a small baby
  • The reality many mothers face of needing to lift heavy awkward things like a baby capsule or pram all whilst at feeling physically vulnerable.

Motherbody Birth Rehab intends to give you the fundamentals you need to rehabilitate your body from the inside out so you're strong enough for the activities of motherhood and understand how to work with your body when you return to your favourite exercise.

This is the vital information about proactively healing after giving birth that I wish all mama's knew.

I hope this course might offer you a way to care for and reflect on the awesomeness of your mother body, and how you're so worth taking very good care of. 

The weekly hour long workshops (baby friendly of course!) are taught live via zoom at 10.30 am AEST every Tuesday for six weeks starting Tuesday October 26th.

As soon as you purchase, the first on demand module is available as short videos for you to do in little pockets of free time through the week. So you can start right away! A new module is released each week.

An email with further information, the zoom link to the classes, and an invitation to join the Facebook group should arrive within 24hrs.

I'd love to help you learn how to safely and progressively support your body to recover after having a baby.

I'd love to have you join us. xx
