Running the Wave through motherhood.
A return-to-water talk for surf & kite mamas — pelvic floor · core · back on the water.
I'm getting frustrated.
Frustrated with the vague guidelines we hand active women — "just be gentle," "wait six weeks," "listen to your body."
And frustrated watching strong women come out of pregnancy and postpartum disappointed in their care, stuck, and not knowing what they can actually do.
That's why I made this chat.
This is a real conversation about pre & postnatal physical therapy for active women and water-sport athletes — built around the most up-to-date research and exercises that actually work. So you can keep feeling good in your own body, not white-knuckle it through every season.
What we'll cover
- The 5 myths still scaring active women — and what the evidence actually says
- What's changing in your body — this part can be a shock for most women
- Pelvic floor exercises for both pre- and postnatal — drills you'll actually do
- How to push correctly during birth — yes, this can be trained beforehand
- Return-to-water readiness criteria — exactly when and how to come back
- Postpartum red flags every athlete should know about
- A free take-home guide with everything we cover
Who this is for
Surfers, kiteboarders, paddlers, swimmers, runners, lifters, and any active woman who's been told "just be gentle" and wants the real answers.
Whether you're trying to conceive, currently pregnant, in the postpartum window, or somewhere down the line and still feeling off — this is for you.
