Birth of A Parent
If you’ve experienced labor and delivery, whether via vaginal or caesarean birth, you likely connected to a strength deep within you that you may never have connected with before. As much as you birth a new baby, you also birth a new YOU! So much changes with the birth of your baby; your relationships, your priorities, your body.
A Virtual Solution
We developed Postpartum Essentials to help birthing people navigate the physical changes that occur after childbirth, with some hard won insights into the relationship and emotional changes sprinkled in there too, because we firmly believe that even though your priorities shift when you become a parent, your health is an essential part of the equation.
The Experts
With 17 years of combined experience as doctors of physical therapy, pelvic health specialists Julianna Allen PT, DPT, WCS and Alexandr DiGrado, PT, DPT PRPC, fill a void in postpartum care through their From the Core to the Floor: Postpartum Essentials postpartum essentials virtual course. The course offers concrete steps to regain control of your bladder, bowel and sexual health as well as the core control strategies to care for your baby, return to exercise safely, and live your best life without pain.
Empower Your Healing
Jullianna and Alex’s main goal is to EMPOWER birthing people to connect with their bodies, advocate for themselves, and learn the skills needed for long term pelvic health and wellbeing.
Everything You Need To Know & No One Told You
This online course will help you prepare for and heal in the postpartum period. Set yourself up for success with knowledge that every birthing person should know! The course covers how to survive & thrive in the immediate postpartum period and get your pelvic floor and core back in shape.
TESTIMONIALS
"Postpartum Essentials helped me heal my abdominal muscle separation and stop peeing on myself. It is self paced and the videos are short enough for me to squeeze in during my busy day."

"Julianna Allen and Alex DiGrado take the time to really delve into all the nitty gritty subjects we don't talk about as a society when it comes to women and post partum recovery. The emphasis of my childbirth classes were how to have a healthy pregnancy and how to get baby into the world, but we never covered post partum recovery. I had no idea what to expect, from lochia to uterine contractions when breastfeeding to constipation and hemorrhoids. But thanks to the generous resources provided by the Healthy Pelvis Project, I was able to enter motherhood more prepared and with the right tools to a smoother recovery."

YOUR POSTPARTUM RECOVERY
TESTIMONIALS
"This is literally the stuff I wish I knew before going through it first hand. I cannot recommend enough to every pregnant person I know. We spend so much time learning about baby's arrival but helping yourself heal and recovery after birth is equally important! It's never too late. Even now at 18 months postpartum I still use pearls of wisdom from this course."

"The healthy pelvis project has been invaluable to my healing. wish I had access to it while I was pregnant - it includes detailed information on topics that I heard were part of the post-labor experience but did not learn about until experiencing it first hand. I would recommend this course to anyone who is pregnant to set them up for success. Thank you to Alex and Julianna for creating this course to guide women through one of the most vulnerable yet powerful experiences of their lives."
