Hi. Hello. Can we confirm that everyone is in favour of never seeing ‘before/after’ photos that use pregnant bodies as the ‘before’? ✨

On questioning control.  Hands up if you’ve

On questioning control.  Hands up if you’ve been given plenty of reminders, especially over the last couple of months, that control is not actually a thing we can fully do? Today on the @tobirthandbeyondpodcast, I had the opportunity to speak with Personal/Life Coach Shirin Eskandani (@wholeheartedcoaching) about questioning our relationship to control. Why we want it. What to do when we feel like it’s taken from us. 😫 How to sit within this.  We like certainty. Certainty can feel safe. ❤️ We want to know that childcare, work, school, and business will re-open on a specific date so we can plan.  So we can feel secure. So we can feel some relief.  And yet, it’s clear at this time point, nothing is certain or secure.  What we covered in Episode 122 or To Birth and Beyond. Should we stop trying to control ev-er-y-thing? ✅ Is there value and peace in controlling what we truly can right now? ✅ How do we sit in the grossness of this time? ✅ The importance of ritual to feel anchored. ✅ You can listen in on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and tobirthandbeyond.com ❤️❤️

I took the whole weekend off work. I went strolling in the sunshine by the river, alone, on Saturday and Sunday. I didn’t work at nap time. I rested. I stayed in bed until 8am. I watched so many episodes of @schittscreek. 💯 recommend. And….then I had a terrible sleep last night because my brain was too busy dreaming about how we can better support you, pregnant people, birthing people, moms, coaches, trainers. LOL. Ps. This hat? My husband, Randy, made it for me. Like, actually made it. From nothing to this. It’s beautiful.  And you can win a free hat for yourself! 🥳🥳 He’s giving away a FREE hat over on @creativecrownshatco tonight. You can enter the super simple giveaway until midnight EST. Go to 👉🏼👉🏼 @creativecrownshatco for the details on how to win a hat and to see more of these works of art!

Returning to Running After Pregnancy. How do you

Returning to Running After Pregnancy. How do you return to running postpartum? 🧐 Do you just wait until your 6-week clearance and then go out and test a 5k route? 🏃🏼‍♀️ Sign up for a bootcamp class that involves sprinting? What if you don’t care about being about to go for runs, or doing any sprinting, but you do want to be able to run after your kid at the park, or play soccer in the backyard?  It’s the episode you’ve been waiting for and we are answering the most common questions we get about returning to running post-pregnancy and giving you some guidance about how to start! How long postpartum until you are ‘allowed’ to start running? ✅ Is it different with vaginal birth vs. Cesarean? ✅ How do you know when your post-pregnancy body and pelvic floor are ready to return to running? ✅ Why we recommend doing some strength and mobility foundational work BEFORE you start back to running and what types of movements to include. ✅ How to actually start running again - this part surprises most people! ✅ 
What to do during running if you feel/experience symptoms or sensations that feel ‘off’, including those in your pelvic floor ✅ 
Why it’s the one-time you’ll hear me recommend doing a warmup before a workout, and should you do some stretching after running? ✅ 
How to progress your running over time when things are feeling strong and solid ✅ Get the guidance you need to return to postpartum running in a way that feels good good in your body and supports your recovery. Go to tobirthandbeyond.com to listen to Episode 120 of the To Birth and Beyond podcast, or listen on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify and wherever you get your podcast listening on. ❤️

Can I Take the Academy if I’m Not a Personal Tra

Can I Take the Academy if I’m Not a Personal Trainer? And Other Academy Q’s. I want to answer some of your most popular questions about the academy. How much time do I need to dedicate to the certification? 🧐 Expect to commit 3 hours per Module to the material, for each of the 10 Modules, plus the Prerequisites section.  Remember that you have two years full access - so you're welcome to go at your own pace and in your own time. What if I don't have a background in fitness or physical therapy? 🧐 That's totally ok!  This course is open to aspiring exercise and health practitioners, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone who has a passion for postpartum, who wants to build their knowledge and confidence as postnatal fitness and health coaches. What if I've been a personal trainer for long time? Will I learn something new? 🧐 YES. Education around the pelvic floor is almost non-existent or, at best, incomplete in other personal training or movement certifications. Even if you HAVE taken another postnatal program, my students always tell me that there are gaps that were filled with this content. I love the idea of being a specialist, but building a business is new to me. How do you help? 🧐
 We've got you. I have included business training in Module 10, with a behind the scenes look at how my business is structured, and how many students from the Academy are working with postpartum people, too. We cover everything from mindset to email marketing to productivity. Ok, time is coming to a close! Doors to the Academy will shut shorty. P.S. A portion of your investment in the Academy will be donated to @thenestcalgary a non-profit organization local to me. ❤️ The Nest works to provide shared housing and mentorship to single mothers and their children who are without external supports, are of low income and/or in need.
