“My second pregnancy was much harder on my body than my first and in ways I did not expect. Working with Tara has helped me to understand the full story of what my body has experienced and how it is knitting back together. I’m stronger and more centered in my core than ever before and amazed to see I can do exercises (and keep up with my kids!) that felt completely impossible just a few weeks ago. This has provided an essential foundation to help me heal from pregnancy and childbirth and get back to feeling strong and physically active.”

“Before meeting Tara, Elena, mom of two, enjoyed the occasional mat pilates class at her local gym, but she was struggling with diastasis recti, a weak core, and pelvic floor.
After taking Tara’s Pelvic Pow-HER workshop, she began to understand how to engage her pelvic floor and how that was connected to her weak core and lack of strength. Elena continued with Tara’s 8-Week Core & Pelvic Floor, taking one private a week for eight weeks, and continuing the exercises at home.
Tara helped Elena put the pieces together — it wasn’t just pelvic floor strength, but posture, stress, and breathing that Elena needed to work on. She had a small diastastis recti — an abdominal separation — and Tara taught her the safe and correct exercises to fix it.
Now, Elena feels stronger throughout her entire body. She stands straighter, has healed her diastastis recti, and her core strength has increased. And most importantly, she doesn’t worry about hurting her back while caring for her two little ones!”
