Prenatal & Postpartum Support
Mother's Support Circle- 6 Week Series
Mother’s Support Circle for Postpartum Mamas with Babies; birth- pre-crawler.
Come for Support, Connection & Education on Tuesdays from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM, beginning February 24th- March 31.
Our 6-week Mother’s Support Circle, led by postpartum doula Emily Tobey, is a weekly in-person group for postpartum moms to connect, feel supported, and be truly understood. You will hear from trusted experts in infant care and development, maternal mental health, and pelvic floor health and healing. Meet other local moms and share in conversations about adjusting to motherhood, managing changing relationships, coping with emotional ups and downs, and other topics guided by the needs and experiences of the group.
Motherhood is beautiful – but it can also be challenging and isolating. You don’t have to do it alone! Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, this nurturing space is for you. Come just as you are. Share as much or as little as you are comfortable with. We warmly welcome pre-crawling babies to attend with their moms.
Client Testimonial
Liz, Prenatal and Postnatal Client
I really feel like all the prep and pelvic floor work helped tremendously with his birth. I had to go with no epidural and I was so connected to what I was doing during labor and delivery. I was up walking around, sitting and standing an hour later. I’m really happy I focused in on the pelvic floor work with the prenatal core class throughout my pregnancy.
Most women will experience a loss of strength and a connection to their core during many phases of life. Not only during prenatal and postpartum phases, but during the process of physically aging as well. Pregnancy demands a lot from a woman’s body. Growing a baby is not kind to your midsection. Postpartum phases can be challenging both mentally and physically while you are trying to recover from the different deliveries of babies. It can leave you with real issues in the pelvic floor.
So whether you are currently pregnant, feeling the loss of core control from aging or postpartum (by the way, you are always in a phase of postpartum no matter how long ago you had your baby), these core rehabilitation classes are for you! We work on strengthening the entire core and tap into issues with the pelvic floor and abdominals including urinary incontinence, prolapse, diastasis recti, etc. as well as exercises to prepare for labor and delivery.
When most people think of their core muscles, they picture the ‘“six-pack abs”, but your core is actually a kinetic chain that includes multiple muscles that wrap around your torso from the top of your ribcage down through your transverse abs and include your pelvic floor, through to your hip flexors, inner thighs and glutes. These muscles stabilize the spine and power every muscle movement in the body.
During prenatal and postpartum core fitness classes we work these muscles together with deep core breath work to reconnect you to utilizing your core for functional total body exercises.
