When my first son Chase was born I had a really hard time recuperating from my first delivery only to learn that I was pregnant 6 months later while still nursing my oldest son. I ‘d had a traumatic vaginal delivery that required the use of forceps and a vacuum which in the process really damaged my pelvic floor. Multiple hernias of my vulva and incontinence led me to try and figure out how to heal my body.

Before I had time to really heal or address these issues I got pregnant with my 2nd son and during my pregnancy dealt with vulva vericosities which are essentially the equivalent of hemorrhoids of the vagina. These are painful and can get to the size of s coconut. Needless to say that I begged to have a C- section for this birth and since his head was measuring in the 100th percentile I did have a C section.

After this birth I took the next 3 years learning how I could retrain my core. See I had a 3 finger width Diastasis Recti (separation of the 6 pack ab muscles) and I also was dealing with some urinary incontinence issues when I coughed, sneezed, or laughed. Not fun!

As an exercise physiologist who had trained hundreds of people I was surprised at how my old way of working out wasn’t helping me get rid of what I called “the inner tube of fat” around my mid-line.

I began formulating my own comeback plan which is where the Mommymovement program was created. In a matter of just 8 weeks I lost 10lbs and dropped a size. I knew I was on to something so I began piloting this program with other women and they got similar results. I went from s size 10 back to a size 2 and thought that was it! I got my body back and desperately wanted to help other moms do the same thing. For 5 years I trained other moms, wrote a book to share with those who couldn’t afford my services but wanted to get back into shape. It was great…and then came our sweet son Cooper.

I really had convinced myself that I had ” healed” all of my pelvic floor problems and that my 1-finger width Diastasis was NOT going to be a problem for me with this pregnancy but I was WRONG!

With this pregnancy I quickly felt that things weren’t right. I quickly developed an umbilical hernia in my 1st trimester, and pain continued. My back and hips hurt for the majority of my pregnancy and I could feel that my hips were out of alignment.

After I delivered Cooper via C-section I quickly realized that I now had a 5 finger width Diastasis Recti. This meant I had no support from my abdominals and my back hurt 24/7. I couldn’t stand for long periods of time, nor could I push a stroller.

I really felt broken, and despite trying my Mommymovement program I was cycling with pain and injuries and I was too weak in my core to start my program.

I ended up having 2 hernia repairs and repair of my Diastasis, so that’s 4 abdominal surgeries in 2 years. This caused problems that I wasn’t even aware of from all of the scar tissue. While my back felt better, I began feeling a lot of pelvic pressure. I courageously looked down there with a mirror and flashlight and just cried at what I saw. I could tell that one of my organs was falling out. I was scared, and honestly just a mess. It was devastating. I began feeling like I would never get past this and that this is just what my life will be now. All of the hope I had just went down the drain.

A few weeks later I was able to get in with an OBGYN Urologist who diagnosed me with Stage 2 pelvic organ prolapse and explained that I would need to have s Supra cervical cocoplexy surgery to help support all of my pelvic organs. I was DEVASTATED!!

I felt like I needed to exhaust all possibilities before having another surgery.

I was at a fitness conference in the summer of 2016 and found a product that changed my life. I bought some brought them home and began using it every day. It is the Pelvicore Pro created by a women’s health PT and it has changed my quality of life dramatically.

Within 2 weeks of using this product every day I felt an immediate difference. My urinary urgency dramatically decreased ( I was peeing 15x/ day), my urinary incontinence improved, and I didn’t have pain with intimacy. I have been able to manage my symptoms of pelvic organ prolapsed with the Pelvicore Pro and I want to help other women struggling with the symptoms of pelvic organ prolapsed and dysfunction improve their symptoms and their quality of life.

After my diagnosis I did the research, and realized that 1 in every 3 women are dealing with pelvic floor dysfunction, and 1 in every 9 women are dealing with pelvic organ prolapse. That means over 52 million women in this country are dealing with this. Just to give context on big of a problem this is we currently have 19.6 million breast cancer diagnosis in this country each year. That’s why you see big companies creating product like cute disposable underwear and thicker pads for accidents that appeal to a younger population because they understand how big of a problem this is.

Why should you care if you have this? Why is it worth the investment of your time and energy? Aside from the quality of life issues that I mentioned before with urinary and rectal urgency, pain with intimacy, and leakage of urine or feces, this can also cause hip pain, back pain, sciatic pain (pain that runs down the front or the back of the leg.

This is why I have developed a proven and effective program with easy to follow workouts that will help you:

• Decrease body fat
• Increase muscle tone
• Eliminate back pain
• Strengthen abdominals
• Reduce/eliminate incontinence
• Increase cardiovascular endurance
