I first discovered Restore Your Core® in January 2018, after the birth of my second child. I experienced several injuries that I was unprepared for, including a dislocated hip, third-degree vaginal tears, and diastasis recti. Initially, I focused on caring for my new baby and ignored my own body. I thought that pain after childbirth was normal (my first birth was a c-section) and that things would heal with time. My doctor agreed. However, after six months, I was still in significant pain, experiencing vaginismus, and struggling with instability when standing (not just fidgeting, but feeling genuinely unsteady). My concerns were dismissed, and I was told I simply needed more time.

It wasn’t until I advocated for myself and asked for a referral to pelvic floor physical therapy (which I found out about on the internet, not from my doctor) that I found the help I needed. The physical therapist I saw was a game-changer. She was the first to educate me about my pelvic floor and explain that all my symptoms were connected and needed to be addressed together. She recommended Restore Your Core® as a compliment to her work, and that’s when everything started to change. I’m excited to share how this journey has transformed my life as I help guide you through reconnecting with and caring for your body.

Now well into my 40s, I am more comfortable in my body than ever before. I am passionate about similarly empowering other women to take control of how their physical bodies affect the course of their lives, and to not accept the narrative that there are consequences they must accept simply because they are women. I completed my teacher training in March of 2024, and I cannot wait to serve you.
