My goal is to help women connect to their pelvic floor and core and learn how to use these foundations in daily life & exercise to become a stronger mama!
I am a Certified Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist & Coach and I have combined my knowledge from my career in physical therapy to develop this amazing program! I love being a mama to my little boy and I'm a true choreographer at heart! I've been a dance instructor about 15 years so I know what it feels like to desperately want to get back to doing the things you love! It's very important to have a functioning pelvic floor if you want to dance!
Through my own pregnancy and postpartum journey, I was disheartened by the lack of resources provided to me, so I dove into learning as much as I could. I felt so empowered in my pregnancy and more connected with my mind and body - then postpartum hit and I went through some issues reconnecting to my pelvic floor. I developed my own program and it helped me so much that I decided to share it because I want to help other women - and let you know that you are not alone! Many women have suffered through this (in silence), over many generations, so I'm making it my mission to be a part of that change!
About ten years ago, I took my Grandmother to the doctor because she was developing dementia. The doctor immediately stopped her prescription to a pill that she used for over 30 years to assist with bladder issues, which he believed may have caused dementia. She had a long history of pelvic floor problems after having 3 children, multiple surgeries and no education provided. This is when I first learned about the pelvic floor - which led me to physical therapy. If only my Grandmother had the knowledge I have today, maybe there would've been no surgeries, no pills and no dementia. This is also a big reason why I started New Wave Fit - for my Grandmother Betty Jo and all of the women out there that need these resources. When we open up the conversation and start learning more, we are literally changing the way that generations of women take care of themselves!
