A Discussion of Core & Pelvic Health Awareness

Benefitting Unlikely Heroes

July 18, 2020 at 2:30pm

via Zoom

Join me in this hour long discussion about core and pelvic health awareness via Zoom at 2:30pm PST to benefit Unlikely Heroes! I am combining forces with my powerhouse sister-in-law Kelsey Crane Gonzalez to raise donations for this organization that works tirelessly to provide safe homes and restoration services for victims of human trafficking worldwide.

During the discussion we will cover topics such as:

•Why core and pelvic health awareness matter
•Common symptoms to recognize + how we can mitigate and manage symptoms
•How we can take an empowered approach towards healing

Donations of any size are deeply appreciated and all will go to Unlikely Heroes. If you are interested, please send a message via the ‘Contact’ page and we will make sure to send along the Zoom info.

WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?
•Pregnant athletes
•Postpartum athletes (it doesn't matter how long ago you had a baby, postpartum is forever)
•Anyone considering having a baby in the future
•Athletes who experience pelvic health symptoms (i.e., leaking, incontinence, pain, prolapse) and want to improve athletic performance

•Partners and friends of pregnant/postpartum athletes who would like to support them during this season of their athleticism
•ANYONE who is interested!

WORKSHOP TOPICS
In this 3 hour (approximate) workshop we will focus on the following:

•Why “listening to our bodies” during pregnancy and postpartum is not enough
•Combating "athlete brain" and the pressures of "bouncing back" after baby
•Basic physiology, how the core is an interconnected system and breathing strategies to help support core/pelvic floor function
•Symptoms to recognize (leaking, diastasis recti, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain)
•Managing symptoms during pregnancy and postpartum in fitness and activities of daily life
•Considerations and coaching suggestions for training during pregnancy and reintegrating into fitness postpartum

I am here to help navigate your individual needs and answer your specific questions throughout the workshop.
