I’m not here to add noise in your feed. Too many

I’m not here to add noise in your feed.

Too many loud voices. Too many “rules.” Too much certainty about bodies they’ve never lived in.

I’m 45 this year.
2 kids. IVF. Miscarriage. Prolapse. Heart surgery.
And 20+ years teaching movement.

Movement healed me — but not because it was Pilates or weights. Because it was both. Because it was everything.

Cross training isn’t trendy. It’s just what a real body needs.

If you’re confused out there, you’re not the problem.

The noise is.

Most people still rely on the same old toe-touch stretch…
But if your hips and spine don’t actually move well, that stretch won’t fix much.

Instead, I focus on:
• Hip internal rotation (huge for joint health)
• Thoracic spine mobility (for posture + pain-free movement)
• Controlled range of motion VS passive stretching

If you want a simple 20 minute follow along sequence that actually helps you move better and stand taller…

This is a sneak peek from my upcoming Stand Taller in 30 program launching next week in time for Mother's Day. You'll also get on the waitlist for the Mother's Day sale 🎉

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
