My mother in law arrived to stay with us on December 27th, 2023. She had been diagnosed with dementia the prior Summer, and so was my husband’s father. Their situation in rural Montana – where they lived off the land and were vibrant parts of their small community – had severely declined, and she was […]
Why didn’t anyone tell me? How come I didn’t know? I hear those laments all the time from my fitness clients, but here’s my reality: I used to ask the same questions for valid reasons because I grew up before Google. However, this younger generation has all the answers at their fingertips – my colleagues […]

In the 2008 Olympics, a volleyball player named Kerri Walsh Jennings won gold while wearing Kinesio Tape, which had been invented in the 1970s by Kenzo Kase, a chiropractor in Japan.

Straight up, I’m not a runner, but I have trained a lot of clients who thrive better when they can run. It’s a sad day for many women when they try to return to running after having a baby, only to discover it doesn’t feel right: their bladders may leak, their abs may pooch out […]
What if “working out” isn’t the only way to exercise, move your tissues, and strengthen your body? Moving tissues beyond exercise is easier than you think! When we go beyond thinking of movement as exercise that repetitively shifts one or several parts of our body from one spot to another and we start to look for […]

Here we are, still going strong with filming TummySafe, diastasis-aware workouts for members in 45 countries worldwide, and I get asked all the time: How do I do it? How have we managed to launch a successful online fitness website and keep it running this long? How do I juggle exercise, motherhood, being a female […]
It’s been snowing here, which is as it should be since it is winter ❄️ a season of rest and rehab can feel long, but I promise: the improved function and pain-free motion is worth it! The dry underwear is worth it! The new strategies that improve your ability to work even harder are worth […]
Behind the scenes of filming 5-Minute Chest Exercises ⭐this took two attempts since one transition didn’t film as #diastasisrecti aware as I liked. So I redid the whole thing with a different transition. That’s right, it wasn’t even one of the exercises, but a transition between exercises that nagged the edges of my mind. I […]
