Cash-Based Physical Therapy: Is it Right for You?

One of the biggest traps new mamas get into is min One of the biggest traps new mamas get into is mindless scrolling — specifically at night. 🌙

🙋🏼‍♀️ I’ve been there with my first child. It seems like it’s the “thing” to do. But mentally? It sucks you into a comparison trap, disrupts sleep, leads to unnecessary spending and hormone disruption. 

🙅🏼‍♀️ NO MORE. I vowed not to do this with second. It was a game changer.

Here’s what I’m doing with my third baby in place of grabbing that phone during nighttime feeds! ⤵️

— diaphragmatic breathing
— body scan meditation / where are you holding tension? let it melt away as you scan head to toe.
— rest your eyes 
— hold their sweet hand
— gaze at their precious face
— pray
— give thanks
— think of how far you and baby have come with your feeding journey 

During the day, audio books or podcasts are also great options! 

Your mental, emotional and physical health will thank you, mama! 🫶🏽

That stage you want to cling onto forever? This, r That stage you want to cling onto forever? This, right here. 🤎

Savoring these moments while also knowing each stage will bring its own joys (and challenges!). Cliché, but it truly does all go by too fast. I think that’s why I’m clinging onto this newborn stage all the more this third baby. 😭

Thank you for freezing these moments in time @bighousephotos

💭 What has your favorite phase(s) been with your kid(s)?!

POSTPARTUM MOVEMENT // week 5 Say hellooooo to fu POSTPARTUM MOVEMENT // week 5

Say hellooooo to functional movements!

Each of these moves mimic everyday activities that we perform with our babies. 

By performing these moves in an exercise series — while intentionally focusing on breath with pelvic floor & deep core coordination — you will find it SO much easier to perform these tasks as part of your everyday life *symptom free*.

1 — Half Kneeling Chops — Exhale as you rotate up and out towards front leg / inhale as return to starting position. Lightweight Pilates ball used here.

2 — Squats — Inhale down finding length into pelvic floor / exhale initiate lift through pelvic bowl as rise to stand.

3 — Hip Hinges — Same breath cues as squats! Focus on keeping spine long and hinging at your waist, finding length in your glutes, hamstrings & back portion of pelvic floor.

💫 Seeking proactive, root-cause support? You’ve come to the right place!

one whole month loving on our littlest, slowing do one whole month loving on our littlest,
slowing down to savor this fresh new life 🕊️

these certainly are “the days” @lauren_daigle
DO THIS the next time you’re at a stop light!

… or while nursing, or in car line for preschool pickup (as I just did when posting this!)…

Diaphragmatic breathing affects SO many systems of our body, holistically supporting your health by ⤵️

✔️ regulating your nervous system through the vagus nerve
✔️ optimizing digestion 
✔️ relaxing the pelvic floor to its resting position
✔️ gently activating the deep core 
✔️ reducing stress levels
✔️ optimizing emotional regulation

I could go on, but we’ll stick to these today! 

🚦 Do yourself a favor and complete 3-5 diaphragmatic breaths every time you find yourself at a stoplight.

🧠 Your physical, mental and emotional health will feel the impact.
