You’re willing to do the work, so you’re out there taking action

You’re finding exercises on YouTube and insights from bloggers about healing your pelvic floor, but you’re still feeling…

overwhelmed with all the information out there. Who are you supposed to listen to?

disappointed because you’re not healing as fast as you want to

frustrated that you’re doing all the “right” things but you’re not seeing progress

Healing postpartum can feel like an uphill battle

I see this with my clients all the time...

It’s been months, or years since you’ve felt normal. You feel like you've tried everything and you wonder if you’ll ever heal properly (don’t give up!).

You crave the freedom and strength that comes from running but keep putting it off because you don’t want to cause injury.

You’ve reached out to your doctor or another PT and they tell that "THIS is the new normal until you have surgery. Just keep doing Kegels."

You deserve better

Hey, I'm Rachel

You don’t have to be stuck like this forever...

I know all about what you’re going through because I was exactly where you were with my second child.

In case we’ve never met before, let me tell you a little about me…

The perfect blend of expertise & experience

As a Mom, I know how limited the time you have to yourself is. Some days it feels impossible to squeeze any more into a day.

As a doctor or physical therapy (since 2006), and pregnancy & postpartum specialist, I've helped countless Moms get strong again so they can live their life.

As an avid runner since 2006, I've completed a number of various events and distances from 5k to 50k and beyond.

I know exactly how you're feeling.

That's why I combined my experience and expertise to create the perfect mix of quick, yet impactful exercises for a fast return back to running.

My Why

Physical Movement is Healing

After my second child, I felt stuck.

I was incredibly frustrated because I KNOW we have the capacity to heal our bodies with intentional movement.

I was determined to find a solution to heal so my family and I could have a better life. So I did my research, put into practice my expertise in physical therapy and created my own system that I applied after my third baby.

Along the way, I realized that there is a LOT of misinformation and vagueness around mother’s health and how to get back into running safely and regularly.

I want you to know, you don’t have to be stuck because the program I created (Return to Running Postpartum Program) provides AMAZING results!

I started helping Mother Runners because of the lack of true and valid information that surrounds mothers, their physical changes and the healing process for their pelvic floor.

During my second pregnancy, I developed symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD, also known as PGP or pelvic girdle pain) that caused me tremendous pain and discomfort. The pain was so great that it prevented me from running and living my life normally for over a year and a half!

My pain was limiting my life. I went to my doctor as well as a women's health PT, talked to my therapist co-workers, all of who threw their hands up, and with no added direction, told me I was doing all the “right” things so I just have to live like this.

I was so angry that I was told “this is it”. According to the medical field at that time, there was nothing more for me to do!

But I knew that something was missing. This couldn't be it. I didn't deserve to live in pain long term. I deserved to get back to running with ease and freedom.

This is why I did ALL the research, took continuing education courses and finally healed my pain so I could get back to living my life pain free!

With the right progression you can heal your body and get back to running quickly.

After my third and fourth babies, I did it in 3 months! And I know you can do it too!
