Group Postnatal Recovery Program
TERM FOUR
Are you local to Kaiapoi, North Canterbury and recently had a baby? The Re-energised postnatal recovery group program is just what you need to safely and effectively recover your body after pregnancy and birth. It is a ten week program run each school term throughout the year. Term four
💛Weekly Tuesday sessions at 1pm from Tuesday 13th October.
It is a progressive weekly recovery and return to exercise program especially for Mums (from as early as four weeks postpartum up to one year) recovering from the significant changes that pregnancy labour and birth bring to your body. The program will support, educate and promote your safe return to full function, exercise and wellness in a small group environment enabling connection with other like minded Mums like yourself.
This is a valuable resource for Mums in our community to Re-energise your life, rehabilitate and restore your core, pelvic floor and fully body function after pregnancy in a safe, affordable, interactive and achievable way.
This term you will have the added bonus of our wonderful Student Midwives coming (most weeks) to help care for your babies while you get the most out of your sessions!

The sessions
Each session includes education and support regarding your postnatal core, pelvic floor and body.
Sessions will include mobility, breathing, pelvic floor and deep core connection and Mum focused strength exercises.
Sessions will progress in difficulty and intensity as you become more familiar with the movements and techniques and increase your strength. Initially we will mainly use body weight movements and progress later on to use some equipment.
The sessions will be low impact, however most exercises can be modified, so if you are struggling with anything please let me know and I can guide you on modifications and progressions for more challenge.
The last one - two weeks progress to adding impact movements (like running/agility etc) if you are ready or intend to need this in your life.
The location
These sessions are run from our private home PT studio in Kaiapoi. Here, we have an indoor/outdoor space which I love for the element of fresh air it brings to your life especially if you struggle to have time for this with a little one.
We will predominantly use the sheltered outdoor area with mats, and surrounding equipment as required. Chairs will be available for feeding babies etc as required.
Toilet facilities are available, along with space for bubs to be near you on the floor and/or in a pram.
Ample street parking is available.
The time
1 x/week for 10 weeks, Tuesdays at 1pm.
I have allowed 1 hour for the group to allow a chat, follow-ups, questions etc after the session and of course for you to attend to your babies as required if they come along to the sessions (which they are welcome to under your supervision).
Sessions are semi formal, I encourage interaction, questions and expect babies to either be included/interrupt etc.
For the best results, I highly recommend taking advantage of the bonus I've included: free access to my online program, valued at $129.95, so you can also participate in guided home sessions.
Hey there, I'm Jo!
I’m a maternity nurse, pregnancy and postnatal exercise specialist, and a mum just like you. When I gave birth to my babies, no one told me what my body would go through postpartum! I began doing my own research about recovering from birth because I wanted to do everything I could to support my body to heal and function properly, especially when I started suffering pelvic floor symptoms that completely blindsided me.
When I began learning about pelvic floor health, I asked myself, “Why didn’t anyone tell me this?”
As a postpartum nurse who works with women recovering from birth, I’ve realised that I wasn’t alone in my struggle to return to “normal”. It’s just something that hardly anyone talks about!
Now I’ve made it my mission to share what I’ve experienced personally and learnt through working with postpartum women as a nurse and exercise specialist, because discovering how you can implement some simple exercises to help you avoid long-term complications from birth can be life changing...lets re-energise you!
I know it can be hard to set aside time to exercise when you’ve got a little one, but it's so important to take that time for yourself sooner rather than later in the healing process so you can feel strong and function well to manage the task of every day life without your body holding you back. After all, your wellbeing is worth investing in!

Nutritional tips and guidance
You get all of this for 10 weekly payments of $19.95 via our website booking system, once you have set up the payment your spot will be confirmed for the full 10 weeks, spaces are limited to only six-eight ladies, so don’t delay your booking. Payments will not be cancelled, transfered or refunded if you change your mind or miss a session, this is to encourage accountability to help you achieve your goals and get the most out of the program. You will still have access to the online program indefinitely!
In the unlikely event that I am unavailable for any reason and have to cancel a session, I will extend the program by a week. You will still be able to complete a session online, I encourage you to keep your booking with yourself or better still arrange to meet your new friends for a walk or exercise session together.
Your babies are welcome to these sessions, however I do want to reiterate that your children are still ultimately your responsibility to supervise and care for. I will try to accommodate them into our sessions as much as I can and have taken measures to reduce any risks of injury.
Here's what a few postpartum mums have to say about the program...
I have loved learning safe exercises I can do at home.
It's been great to be able to commit to 1 hour per week where I could get out and focus on 'me' and come away after each session feeling refreshed and energised!
I feel stronger, more flexible and motivated to carry on with regular strength and cardio training
I've learned techniques that will help keep me safe, eg breathing to protect the pelvic floor
Exceeded my expectations!
The stretches that were easy to do and helped body feel so much better after doing them.
I have less aches and pains, more confident getting back into exercise with the knowledge I won't be overdoing it.
Liked how it was easy to work around bubs and if I felt I missed stuff then knowing I could catch up online.
The size of the group was great,I can follow videos and general exercises but to be given feedback in the moment about what to focus on or corrections was most helpful!
Stronger core and mindfulness about posture
Jo's overall knowledge about exercise and returning to it safely postpartum is fantastic!
I feel confident returning to exercise, albeit not my usual workout pre babies, but I feel assured that I'll be heading back into it educated and always remembering to breathe!
I feel like it was all very well organised. Each session we were all made to feel welcome and there was just a general ease about it. I enjoyed how we were able to change things up of required or alter movements to suit ability etc
