Amongst the chaos caring for your new infant, I want you to remember
You Matter Too.
Hi, I’m Hannah
I’m a pre and postnatal fitness specialist, Registered Massage Therapist, birth and postpartum doula, and childbirth educator.
When I was preparing for the birth of my second child, I was determined not to neglect my postpartum recovery this time around.
I vividly remembered how overwhelming postpartum was —up was down, day was night.
I could barely remember to brush my teeth let alone figuring out what I should do to heal my body?
Forget it.
I also knew that between the constant feeding, sleep deprivation and healing from a long and intense birth my body needed support.
I started searching for a simple, evidence-based postpartum recovery program -something clear and easy to follow. Something I could trust that allowed me to turn my brain off and fully focus on bonding with my new baby.
When I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for, I decided to create it myself.
Drawing on over a decade of experience as a pre and postnatal fitness specialist, a Registered Massage Therapist and my work as a birth and postpartum doula, I developed a 6-week movement recovery program. This program was divided into three distinct phases, each with prescribed activity levels, recovery goals and exercises that gradually progressed through mobility, strength and coordination.
I printed it out, stuck it on my fridge and followed it to a tee.
Oof, did it ever feel good to have a plan.
I was amazed at how much smoother and faster my recovery felt. My mind felt clearer, and I felt supported in knowing I was following a systematic recovery program.
To ensure the program was solidly built, I beta-tested it with a dozen other folks and the feedback was unanimous: this was exactly what they needed.
But I didn’t stop there...
I put on my doula hat and expanded the program to include all of the information I share with my birth clients on preparing for postpartum during pregnancy.
I want to make sure that amongst the many things you may say about your postpartum time “if only I’d known” isn’t on that list.

“The days are so exhausting. The nights are so long. Being set up with a plan for how to navigate this time was so incredible. I could feel confident I was doing everything I could to make sure by body was healing properly. ”

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
That’s a super common misconception! While yes, it's true that it's important to avoid intense exercise in the early postpartum period, gentle movement and recovery-focused exercises can actually support healing and help your body adjust to the changes after birth. THIS IS NOT A BOOTCAMP. In this program, we focus on core connection, breathwork, and safe, gentle mobility exercises that can help you feel better physically and mentally. This approach sets the foundation for a stronger recovery once you’re cleared for more activity.
-
You won’t need a lot!
The majority of movements in this program only use a mat, pillow and your body. A few extra pieces of equipment that are useful to have are a light resistance band, a squishy ball (a rolled up towel could also work) and one weight for later parts of the program (5-10 lbs).
-
If you’ve had a cesarean, recovery can take a little longer and look a little different.
That is why I have created a recovery program that is specific to recovery from a cesarean. When you purchase this guide, you will have the Cesarean Guide recovery program included as well.
-
Birth can be unpredictable, and I understand that your experience may be different from what you envisioned. The program is designed to be adaptable to various postpartum situations, whether you had a vaginal delivery, cesarean birth, or any interventions. You’ll find modifications and guidance to support your recovery, no matter what your birth looked like.
-
Postpartum can be confusing and I’m here to help! If you have any additional questions or concerns about the program, feel free to reach out. You can contact me via email or through the contact form on this page. I’m more than happy to support you in making sure this program is the right fit for your postpartum journey.
The early days MATTER
Set yourself up from the start
Here is my promise to you.
As hard as postpartum period can be - between the sleep exhaustion, the body pain and massive hormone fluctuations - you don’t have to go it alone.
With a little bit of knowledge, preparation, and a PLAN, you can feel confident that you are recovering in a way that respects your body and your pelvic floor. This can make massive changes in the way you feel.
