Let Us Help You Navigate The Postpartum Experience

When we think of motherhood there are so many beautiful moments - from the first time you feel your baby kick in the womb to the first time they wrap their precious fingers around yours to that first send off to Kindergarten and beyond. There is so much excitement and anticipation that happens in those nine months of pregnancy. Then once your bundle of joy arrives it's truly a miracle that your body instinctively knows how to do so many things!

But not everything comes so naturally. It is totally normal to have questions as you navigate both the mental and physical effects of everything from pregnancy to birth to your post partum motherhood experience. Motherhood can sometimes feel so isolating and then other times we're able to find solace in community of other mamas who share wisdom.

 

Whether you've had a baby in the past two years or are a soon-to-be new mama you may find yourself with questions. Audrey Grunst, MSW & Rachel Miller, PT, DPT (and fellow mamas) partnered together to provide you answers to some of your deepest questions about self-care, safely returning to exercise, how to know if you need to ask for help and more!

Dr. Rachel's dance background and love for fitness led her to Pilates.  She became certified in mat and standing Pilates through Physical Mind Institute in 2008 and has been teaching group mat classes ever since.  She continued her Pilates training by earning a comprehensive certification through Balanced Body.  She also enjoys spending time with her family, staying active, and promoting wellness.  She teaches mat Pilates classes at Heather's Gym in Libertyville, and regularly teaches classes and workshops in the community.

After becoming a Mom, she realized the lack of postpartum education and the need for better care for new (and not so new) moms.  Her continuing education has focused on manual therapy of the pelvis and spine, Diastasis Recti, and pelvic floor Physical Therapy.  She enjoys looking at the body holistically and combining Pilates with Physical Therapy to achieve long lasting results.
