Comment “PLAN” and I’ll send you details for my free postnatal workshop.

5 years ago I was rehabbing diastasis recti and rebuilding my core after 2 babies in 2 years.

Alongside that personal experience, I’ve spent over 20 years teaching Pilates and working with postnatal clients through all stages of core recovery.

These 5 exercises are examples of the kind of work I use to help restore abdominal wall tension and rebuild functional core strength over time. They work. It's a journey. It takes time. But it's never too late to start.

If you’re in your own postnatal recovery or navigating diastasis recti, focus on quality of movement, breath, and control before intensity.

More support is on the way. Members can already get it inside the Belle Membership. Comment TRIAL to train with us for one week for $1 💜

3 months postpartum… baby in arms, core getting assessed

This is what it actually looks like behind the scenes.

I’m here with Dr. Sinead Dufour @dr.sinead. She is a pelvic health physio, professor at McMaster University, and one of the leading researchers in diastasis recti.

And this is key 👇
We’re not just looking at the gap.

She’s assessing:
• Tension through the linea alba
• How my core responds under load
• How well I can actually transfer force through my system

Because diastasis isn’t just about “closing the gap.”
It’s about restoring function.

Also… yes, that’s me managing a fussy baby while doing all of this.

Because moms don’t pause healing to make it look perfect.

We do it in the middle of real life!

If you’re postpartum and wondering where to start — this matters more than guessing.

Comment PLAN and I’ll send you my free 30-minute postnatal workshop to help you restore your core and pelvic floor the right way 🤍

You got this! Here for you. You're not broken and it's not too late.

Love
Nikki

If your back is always tight, sore, or just exhausted, this is your sign.

Most “mom life” back pain isn’t because your back is weak.�It’s because it’s doing too much.

When your core and hips aren’t supporting you properly, your body shifts the load and your back takes over.

Stretching is great but not the whole solution. We need to strengthen what's weak to bring your body back into balance.

That’s how you:�• stand taller�• move better�• feel stronger in your everyday life

Inside The Belle Method, you’ll get the workouts, stretches, and step-by-step programs to actually fix this, not just manage it.

You don’t have to live with constant tension.

Most people train the core as if it’s a muscle you simply fatigue.

But the core is not defined by burn… it’s defined by pressure.

When rib cage and thoracic spine mechanics are limited, breathing becomes shallow and pressure management breaks down. That affects how the diaphragm stacks over the pelvic floor — and ultimately how we function (diastasis recti, prolapse and bladder leaks, anyone?)

This is why we shift away from chasing sensation… and toward restoring mechanics.

Move better. Breathe better. Build true strength and function.
