Take the guesswork out of healing your core once and for all

start healing today

Every mom knows the feeling of the “post- baby core.”

Or should I say, lack of post-baby core strength.

You might have abdominal separation. You might not, but are feeling like your abdominals left you for good.

You might be feeling how HARD caring for another human is when simply getting off the couch or lifting your child feels like training for the olympics.

The hardest part?

You already know the rest of your body is depending on your core and pelvic floor to heal after baby. And you DO want to tend to your healing!

But when you’re physically and emotionally exhausted, adding in one more thing is the last thing you want to do.

But when you haven’t slept, your house is a mess and your brain fog won’t go away, giving your core the attention it desperately needs feels close to impossible.

If this all sounds familiar, you are not alone. I have found myself in tears of exhaustion and overwhelm so. many. times.

The good news?

It doesn’t have to be like this.

You might not feel like yourself right now, but I promise, she’s in there.

As mothers, we are expected to “wing it” when healing our bodies after baby and that’s not fair. We feel shame for feeling weak after baby, spiraling us to avoid the weakness altogether. That’s just not right, and we deserve a solution.

A solution that won’t leave you spending hours or hundreds of dollars!

A solution that doesn’t leave us feeling exhausted and missing out on time with your baby or for yourself.

A solution that leaves us feeling strong. One we look forward to and isn’t another thing on our to-do list.

Healing should feel empowering and exciting. Sadly, this is not the story we are told.

I created Core Reclaim to make getting a strong core and feeling great SIMPLE

Results like you get from an hour long workout, but for a mama’s schedule

(aka…without the hour part!)

Quality > Quantity

15 minutes/day to feel your best

What they say about small, consistent habits being most effective to change?

Well, it’s true. There’s a lot of science backing that up.

Out of sheer necessity to get back in my body without having to spend hours doing so, I got creative and used my extensive training under world-renowned postpartum Pilates instructors and physical therapists to develop short, hyper-focused and deeply effective 15 minute sessions for myself.

15 minutes/day instead of 1 hour 2-3x/week will leave you with more progress, more time and a lot less stress.

Your muscles wake up, remember and begin working FOR you the way they are designed to do. You form habits and routines that will last long beyond this rehab period.

Consistency and intentional movement is key when it comes to strength + healing. The best part? It doesn’t have to be complicated.

We don’t get a user manual for our body after baby, and we never have to feel ashamed for starting from scratch

Our core, pelvic floor and entire body had to reorient to grow our babies (thank you, body!). But now, it’s time to guide it all back, and I’d love to get you there.

If you feel frustrated and lost when it comes to healing your postpartum core, keep scrolling.

(Yes! Even if you swear your core left you for good, you have diastasis recti and pelvic floor issues).

I'm Ready

It’s time to start feeling like yourself again (dare I say it, maybe, the best version of her!)

Core Reclaim

A Pilates-based approach to rebuild your core + confidence after baby. 15 minutes/day is all it takes.

It is not how long you work out for.

(Remember the quality > quantity idea? Keep reading!)

It’s how you breathe, your muscle intention + your form.

This program breaks it all down: I’ll show you exactly what to you, no guesswork involved. Follow my lead.

New to Pilates? Seasoned Pro?

If you’ve never done Pilates, not to worry! I promise, you can do this! Or, if you’re a seasoned Pilates mama itching to get back to your teaser (but need your core back first), I promise, this program is going to get you there. Get ready to experience your body like never before.

We work the pillars:

Breath, posture, and pre-pilates strength exercises are the pillars of postpartum core strength.

It’s time to reset your entire body.

WE WORK DAILY:

Consistency is key when it comes to core healing. Without consistency, we cannot create change.

15 minutes/day has never felt so easy.

We work from the foundation:

The deepest abdominal layers and pelvic floor, to build a strong core with lasting results.

Say goodbye back pain, guesswork and weakness.

get core reclaim

Change is possible.

Living confidently and comfortably in your body is only 4 weeks away.

It’s time to press the “reset” button on your body and feel connected to it like never before.

With Core Reclaim, all it takes is 15 minutes/day to reset your breathing systems, improve your posture + strengthen your core.

YES! That's what i need!

Here’s What’s Inside

4 WEEKS OF DEEP, INTENTIONAL CORE WORKOUTS

Practice the same exercises 1 week at a time, giving you options to repeat or progress the next week. We work from the deepest abdominal layers and pelvic floor to lay the groundwork of a strong core. This work is nuanced and takes practice, but the results are remarkable. No more wasting your time with basic abdominal work. Here we are resetting your core for life!

Pelvic floor basics

We are going beyond kegels. Here you will take the guessing out of what you should feel from a pelvic floor contraction, and most importantly, HOW to actually contract your pelvic floor. This sections includes my bonus e-book, “7 Habits for a Highly Effective Pelvic Floor.” These simple lifestyle changes are easy to implement and yield amazing change to pelvic floor function.

diastasis recti basics

Learn 2 different ways to check your DR and see how they compare. You’ll also learn how frequently to check and what time of day is best to check. This course includes a tracker to you can keep track of your progress! BONUS: Eating for a DR (it’s NOT a diet!).

Core Strength Ally #1: Breath

The breath is the foundation of function for our pelvic floor and deep abdominals. Getting our diaphragms working optimally and tissues expanding/contracting is KEY to the foundation of strength in our entire body. You’ll learn to assess your breathing patterns, practice breath drills + abdominal contractions to get the most out of the strength exercises.

Core Strength Ally #2: Posture

To see results we must view the body as a system, rather than just looking at the core. Core strength + posture work together symbiotically: you need core strength for correct posture, and correct posture for core strength. Get ready to learn correct posture for standing, walking + pushing a stroller that will completely change your movement and habits.

Core Strength Ally #3: correct contractions

This section will change the way you do abdominal work forever. The strength lies deep within the breath. Small, precise and controlled movements are where we begin. They might not look like much, but will have you shaking like a leaf! (Plus, we’ll also go over a big no-no that I see almost every time with ab work).

Bonus #1: Eating for Diastasis Recti (Yes, the food you eat affects tissue health + repair! No diets here!)

Herbal medicine has completely changed my life and reshaped my overall health, sleep and energy levels. This guide gives you step-by-step instructions to begin postpartum-safe herbal supplements that will completely up your game and leave you feeling like a superhero!

Bonus #3: E-Book: “7 Habits for a Highly Effective Pelvic Floor.” This short and sweet e-book is an easy read that provides easy, simple changes you can start making TODAY to ensure your pelvic floor stays healthy and supple for years to come.

Bonus #4: Plank Power Strategies. Stop guessing when it comes to plank work. We break it down and SIMPLIFY to make planking an exercise for everyone. If you’ve ever felt confused on form or felt your back and/or neck during planks, you won’t want to miss this.

count me in!

I’ve made Core Reclaim the simple, results-driven choice for busy, tired mamas.

(and that’s what makes Core Reclaim different and the best choice for YOU!)

some postpartum programs are Just too hard

Some postpartum programs are simply too advanced. They claim to be gentle but you leave with more questions than answers. These programs make healing even harder and keep sending you back to square 1.

most programs will teach you 360 breath…but…

Postpartum healing is not a one-size-fits-all. If we are tight, immobile or stuck in certain areas of our body, we will not achieve this elusive 360 breath. Core Reclaim teaches you HOW to assess YOUR unique body, breath patterns and habits. Then, we give you a tool kit to fix what you find! The confidence is there and the guesswork is gone.

not all programs teach posture

Some postpartum programs don’t even touch on posture. Correct posture = core strength and core strength = correct posture. You need them both. Core Reclaim will teach you how to assess YOUR own body to start standing taller and stronger today.

let’s be real, we don’t have an hour/day (and you don’t even need it!)

Some postpartum programs expect you to do hour long workouts that simply aren’t realistic to a busy mama’s life. This makes consistency impossible, nothing gets done, and you are back to square 1 even with the best intentions.

spending hundreds or thousands of dollars?
No way!

Expensive programs! It is simply rude to put a high price tag on feeling good as a mom. Hundreds or thousands of dollars? No way! This program in a small one-time payment for lifetime access and requires minimal props. You can easily do it in your living room with kids and pets nearby.

a pilates approach

There’s good reason that Pilates is famous for its attention to posture, breath and the pelvic floor. But I think this Joseph Pilates quote speaks for itself: “In 10 sessions you will feel the difference. In 20 you will see the difference. in 30, you have have a whole new body.”

FAQs

These exercises stem from my training across multiple modalities: Pilates, strength training, yoga and physical therapy techniques. For this program, expect gentle, focused movements that go DEEP! We work in a variety of positions: on your back, hands and knees, on the wall, side-lying etc. Many of the exercises I would categorize as “pre-Pilates,” meaning that they are slightly more gentle and postpartum-friendly, giving you the foundation you need to do more advanced core work.
The breath and form are top priority of each movement and cued thoroughly. Each exercise has a tutorial you can watch and practice as many times as you’d like!
The combination of exercises, breath and posture work promote healing and rehabilitation for DR. Many women do fully heal their DR with Core Reclaim, and almost everyone sees dramatic improvement.
As no two bodies are the same, what works for someone is not guaranteed to work for someone else. Healing a DR is completely dependent on YOUR body and YOUR needs. I have seen core work heal a diastasis, but I have also seen strengthening the arch of the foot be the missing piece that allows the DR to heal.
Because I am not able to assess your individual body with this course, it would be unfair to make that promise. I do not believe it is possible to have a self-directed course promising to fully healing a diastasis.
As I said before, the combination of exercises, breath and posture work 100% promote healing and rehabilitation for DR. Many women do fully heal their DR with Core Reclaim, and almost everyone sees dramatic improvement.
We always recommend getting cleared for exercise by your medical provider (which usually happens around 6-8 weeks) before beginning any exercise regime.
Absolutely! Consider this your introduction (warning, you might get hooked!). This program is great for those new to Pilates as well as seasoned practitioners.

Postpartum is forever. This program is effective for anyone looking to regain (or simply gain for the first time!) core strength, no matter how many years postpartum you are.
Congratulations! That’s wonderful news. If you have completed a core strength program (specific to postpartum women) that teaches proper breathing and posture, AND you feel confident in your base level of core strength, you might be ready for this program’s next level, Core Reclaim [part 2]. Click HERE to check it out!
Absolutely. I am so certain you will see results with this program. However, if for whatever reason you start Core Reclaim and don’t love it, we offer a 7-day, 100% money back guarantee. No questions asked; you truly have nothing to lose!
We make it easy. Core Reclaim uses very minimal equipment that can easily be subbed out for household items.
-A small squishy ball (sub for a pillow)
-Small, loop glute band (optional, can use a robe tie or belt)
-OPTIONAL: foam roller

Hear From My Clients

“My sessions with Claire are the highlight of my week and I am thrilled with how strong and healthy I feel. I was immediately struck by both your warmth and knowledge. You always knew the precise, tiny adjustment that would make my sessions the most productive while protecting my problematic low back. Your cueing and explanations are incredible- your knowledge of anatomy and how various parts of the body work together. Old aches and pains are diminished, I have more physical control, and my core! I have degenerative disc disease but having a strong core (and rest of my body!) is such a relief and makes me confident that I can remain healthy and injury-free for a long time! I have had 11 surgeries in the past few years and I believe my Pilates sessions with Claire have allowed me to bounce back and recover so quickly. I feel there's nothing I can't get over :).
Besides getting the best workout for my body, it is just a delight to spend time with you. You care about your clients lives and well-being in addition to their physical health. After class I feel great! Stronger, more limber, and have an overall sense of accomplishment. You should 100% take classes with Claire. 150%! You will be so happy you did. A) She is the loveliest person. B) SHE KNOWS HER STUFF C) She will listen to you, remember your specific issues, and ensure you are getting a workout that is both productive and safe D) Pilates, in the hands of a skilled practitioner like Claire, is AMAZING! It is the perfect mix of strengthening and stretching - pushing your body without punishing it. I have never felt stronger! Doing mat Pilates with Claire has totally changed my body.” -Erica
“There's a depth to the feeling in your muscles you get when you're doing Pilates with Claire that is unlike anything I've ever experienced. I have spent my whole life feeling like I am bad at sports and generally unathletic; I no longer feel unathletic - I just had to find a kind of exercise that involved a set of skills that suited me better. I feel strong..I also have noticed that my posture is so much less lopsided, even when I am not actively correcting it. That is huge and gives me a sense of confidence in the way I carry myself. After class I always, every time, feel so good - proud of myself, pleasantly sore/tired, but simultaneously energized.” -Zarine
“Getting to know Claire's work and practices have been one of the highlights and most healing things in modern life. Claire is an exceptional Pilates teacher. She is supportive, and a great communicator. Though we originally began working together to recover from a leg injury, this ultimately led to a level of strength and fitness I could have never imagined. Practicing Pilates together has been one of the best investments I’ve made in myself and my health. I highly recommend working with Claire.” -Susan
“My relationship with Claire, one that is founded on trust, healing, strength, agility, consciousness, and connection.
What makes Claire so special is she brings a holistic, whole health and human-centered approach to her unparalleled depth and breadth of practice. Because of Claire’s rigor and thoughtfulness in customizing our sessions together, I am able to listen to body in new ways.
She has enabled me to make connections between how my body stores stress and how her carefully crafted fluid movements can decompress, improve flexibility, and build strength. Since we’ve been practicing together, the nature of our practice has changed to accommodate my health and level of fitness.
Part of our practice has centered around pelvic floor release work. I am eternally grateful to Claire for her guidance and expertise in this area. She has really saved me in my times of pain and her tenderness has made me realize I am not alone. She has provided me the precious gift of healing and hope
Claire is a visionary with so much to give to her clients and her community.” -Jill
“I am 74 years old (!!!!!) and have “worked out” my entire adult life, including various types of dance, competitive swimming, strength training, yoga and pretty much everything in between. When I started private sessions with Claire I was laboring under two misconceptions; first, that I was already as strong as I could hope to be at my age, and second, that the lower back pain that had plagued me for decades was probably a given, due to scoliosis and now, osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease. After five years with Claire as my teacher, I can honestly say I was completely wrong on both counts. I feel stronger than I did a decade ago, and, even better, my back pain has all but disappeared. Claire designs our virtual classes with my particular body in mind. Each session feels like a mini adventure; no two are ever the same, and her attention to the most subtle detail of movement is, frankly, amazing. That she is a genuinely thoughtful and lovely person is icing on the cake!”
-Brenda

“This was an emotional one. Thank you for all you do. Claire has had such a huge impact on my body, my movements and overall quality of life! I have been on a journey with Claire since 2017 to fight chronic back pain. Claire has helped me overcome some of my most challenging and overwhelming times, where surgery or endless pain seemed like the only option. Her gentle approach, passion for healthy movements and attention to detail have helped me progress in times I didn’t think possible. I can’t believe the guidance she is able to give me over a zoom call! Her precise directions,/corrections change everything in how my body feels. I can’t stress enough how grateful I am for the work we do together.
I have gone from dark days of feeling unable to play with my little girl, to happily chasing my daughter at the park, and carrying her soon-to-be baby brother…here I am in my third trimester, keeping up with a two year old, and yet I feel healthy and stable. I never thought I would get here without huge amounts of pain.
Thank you, Claire for bringing such wellness to both my body and my mind. I’m so grateful for her work in helping my spine and for her deep understanding of a woman’s journey through pregnancy and postnatal recovery. I can’t wait to attack postpartum with her and make this body even stronger!” -Vanessa
"I was nearing 6 weeks postpartum and would soon be cleared by my doctor for exercise. I've always enjoyed taking pilates classes, but was looking to do something more tailored to where I was in my postpartum journey. My sister had been taking private lessons and knew Claire would be a great fit for me, so she gifted me a set of lessons. My body was still recovering from a c-section and it had been a while since I exercised. I generally felt quite weak, especially in my core. After just our first class, I started to feel stronger and more confident to begin exercising once again. Our classes are perfectly tailored to where I am in my recovery, while still challenging me a bit more each week.
It's incredibly reassuring to know that you're focusing on exercises that are safe and effective for a postpartum body. I feel fantastic after each session and so much stronger than when I started. Claire is a fantastic instructor and I'm so impressed with how she is able to help me make adjustments throughout class via Zoom. Claire creates a warm and welcoming environment, and her joy in teaching shines through. She knows the postnatal context well so you can feel confident that she's teaching safe and effective exercises that will support your body in its recovery.

“Claire’s classes are a highlight of the week - they ground me, reset my body, and are a real complement to other forms of exercise I engage in. During classes, I feel looked after - Claire curates her classes in a way that make me feel cared for. She also gives options to make the class “your own.” After 6 months of consistent classes, I felt stronger, more toned, in better shape, and that my investment in my well-being was worthwhile. What surprised me was that consistent practice, even slowly, makes progress. I was used to fast-paced, high-energy HIIT classes that, while fun, taxed me and put undue strain on me. Adjusting to the calming but strengthening pace of Claire’s Pilates classes was an adjustment, but an adjustment I was willing to make and an adjustment I’m glad I made. I saw more healthy progress with Claire’s Pilates than I ever did with the HIIT classes. I also love talking about it with friends and giving them small tips I learn during class about breathing, how to sit up taller, how to properly engage my muscles, and more. During my consistent practice, I felt like my body was functioning more in-tune with my brain; Pilates with Claire is a time for my body to do some work, tire itself out, and get the stretch it needed." -Jessica
“Claires' classes are the perfect antidote to more than a decade spent sitting in front of a computer, which has resulted in pain and stiffness in various parts of the body. She takes the time to understand the body issues you are experiencing and her sessions are always expertly designed to target the areas which need the most attention. This, plus the positive energy she exudes, always means I leave her sessions feeling so good! Looser, stronger and more energized.
Her homework exercises allow me to extend her sessions throughout the week, and over time through her teaching, I have built up my own personalized library of strengthening and stretching exercises. Making creating a personal practice between sessions so easy. All in all this has resulted in me having a more limber and progressively stronger body, and most importantly being pain free during my working hours.” -Shona
“I started working with Claire online during the pandemic, and immediately recognized her gift as an instructor. She gently encourages her clients to push themselves "just a little bit more", and is committed to her own self improvement as an instructor. I wasn’t new to Pilates, and soon we began private sessions over Zoom. What I love about our work together is how I have learned to be much more precise in integrating the right muscles to complete an exercise. I am always surprised how much more challenging the exercises are when they are done correctly! Pilates with Claire just makes my body feel good AND helps me excel in other sports; I have a much greater awareness and appreciation of how to activate muscles independent of each other to achieve specific movements. I always look forward to Claire’s unique twist on our workouts. -Sabrina

Our bodies are made to heal. Sometimes, we just need help getting there.
