Traditional pre & postnatal teacher training can be a total confidence crusher. Fear of the unknown (and let's be honest, some seriously outdated info) can leave you feeling a little lost in the sauce.

But what if there were a clearer path, one based on evidence, not hearsay?

This guide is your first step on that path! I’m going to equip you with the knowledge you need to work with clients either with diastasis recti abdominis (DRA), or who may be concerned about developing DRA during pregnancy.

What people are saying:

“I highly recommend this e-book for anyone in the fitness industry working with both men and women (as a Pilates instructor, I’m not alone in noticing doming in men and women). I’ve always believed the human body is complex and that we should work with the body in front of us, which is why I’ve always been cautious about simplistic lists of exercises to “fix” DRA. This guide has helped me understand the research on DRA, including its nuances, limitations and contradictions, so I feel confident having informed discussion about DRA and working in partnership with clients, rather than just working through a list of so called “safe” exercises. I once lost a client for not offering a “fix it” guarantee for DR—now I can explain why with authority. The guide also provides a very helpful overview of different types of research, how they’re classified, and evidence-based insights on how social media misinformation and body image issues can negatively affect movement—something I’ve never encountered in any of my training.” Vicki at @connectpilatesdunmow

“I loved the research busting all the myths around DR. I already knew these things because I did teacher training through a company that focuses on exercise science but it was good to have the reminder and science laid out in a digestible way” Tina at @pilates.powered_
