Client Story: How Move Well Sessions Supported a 3rd Time C-Section Mom for Her Strongest Pregnancy and Postpartum

I want to tell you a story about a past client, an amazing 3rd time mom and our work together through Move Well Pregnancy sessions. This is the story of how intentional movement, breath, and education can completely change your experience of pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Move Well Pregnancy Sessions

My client, Breanne and I started working together very early on in her 3rd pregnancy. Breanne loved fitness, staying active and going to the gym. While she exercised during her previous pregnancies, she was always a bit confused about what she could do that was pregnancy specific or "pregnancy safe". Many general prenatal exercise guidelines are outdated and focus on what not to do (don't lift heavy, don't get your heart rate up, don't twist, etc). I focus on educating clients on all the amazing, beneficial things you can and should do. There are movements you can do that not only strengthen or mobilize but also specifically prepare your body for birth.

Throughout Breanne's entire pregnancy we worked regularly on deep core strength, better breathing mechanics, full body mobility, pelvic floor awareness and movements to strengthen her posture to mitigate common symptoms like low back pain, SI Joint pain, pubic symphysis pain and more.

Breanne was having a scheduled c-section, and we worked together right up until the end, focusing mainly on breathing, full body mobility, nervous system tools and more. The day she gave birth, she told me that even the experience of her c-section was so much more calm and overall positive than her previous c-sections because of all the breathing and nervous system work we did during pregnancy. Her body and breath were able to feel more calm and supported through the birth.

Continued Postpartum Support with Move Well Sessions

Breanne and I continued to work together postpartum. At 3 weeks postpartum, we worked on gentle, nourishing mobility, breath and pelvic floor re-connection, lymph and nervous system support. Her immediate reaction was that her postpartum recovery felt so much easier. She felt so much stronger and more capable than her previous postpartum experiences because of all the new body awareness she had and all the "pre-hab" we did during her pregnancy. It was also her first time doing any c-section specific recovery. None of her providers had ever told her about scar desensitization, scar mobilization and scar massage. The knowledge about how to help her scar heal empowered her with the confidence to begin re-strengthening her core. At 5 weeks postpartum, we introduced core work and Breanne was surprised at how quickly she could reconnect to her core and pelvic floor compared this time around, all thanks to the breath and core education we had instilled.

If these Move Well Pregnancy Sessions sound like something you could benefit from, I want to help you. My true gift is in educating. I absolutely love working one on one with clients to help them feel empowered and educated in their bodies as they prepare for birth, postpartum and beyond.

Read Breanne's Testimony

"I had the pleasure of working with Lindsay through my most recent pregnancy journey, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From our very first session during my first trimester to our last session at 3 months postpartum it was clear that her expertise and passion for supporting new and expectant mothers set her apart.

Lindsay's approach is both knowledgeable and compassionate. She took the time to understand my needs and tailored our sessions accordingly, ensuring that every movement was safe and effective. Her ability to create a comfortable and welcoming environment made me feel at ease, allowing me to fully engage in the process.

What I appreciated most was her emphasis on education. Lindsay provided me with valuable insights into how my body was changing and the best ways to support those changes through movement. She empowers her clients with the tools and techniques needed to navigate the physical challenges of pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

Her warm demeanor and encouraging words made each session not only productive but also enjoyable. I always left feeling stronger and more confident.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and supportive guide through your pre and post-natal journey, look no further than Lindsay. She truly is a gem and I am so grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life!"
