What is diastasis recti, and can exercise help?

Diastasis recti is a separation of the abdominal muscles that commonly occurs during pregnancy. Severity varies, but with targeted corrective exercise many women see meaningful improvement. As a Corrective Exercise Specialist, I assess your specific situation and build a program that safely strengthens your core without making the separation worse.

Is it safe to work out with pelvic floor issues?

Yes — with the right guidance. Pelvic floor dysfunction is incredibly common postpartum, and the right exercises can actually support your recovery. I modify programming to protect and strengthen the pelvic floor rather than strain it. If needed, I’ll also recommend working alongside a pelvic floor physical therapist.

Will working out affect my milk supply?

Research generally supports that moderate exercise does not significantly affect milk supply. The key is staying well-hydrated, eating enough to fuel both your training and your milk production, and not drastically cutting calories. I factor all of this into your nutrition plan.

How soon after giving birth can I start training?

It depends on your delivery and recovery. Most women can begin gentle movement within a few weeks, but I always recommend getting clearance from your provider first. From there, we start with foundational work and progress at a pace that’s safe for your body.

Do I need to eat differently while breastfeeding?

Nursing mothers need more calories and specific nutrients to support milk production and recovery. As a Precision Nutrition certified coach, I help you build a fueling strategy that supports your training, your milk supply, and your energy — no restrictive diets.
