Because what we do isn’t just about techniques—it’s about changing how clinicians see themselves, their clients, and their impact.

Even though the membership isn’t running anymore, the same values live on in everything we teach: humility, curiosity, and human-centred care.

If this approach resonates with you, mentorship opportunities are available — plus online and in-person courses designed to help you grow as a clinician and coach.

Diastasis is quite common, especially in post partum, but it also presents in children, men and other adults who haven't had children!

I used to think I had to “fix” every client.

When they didn’t improve — even after doing everything I was taught — I was so confused. 😔

But over time, I realised something powerful:
👉 People don’t always fit protocols
👉 Principles give us freedom, flexibility & better outcomes
👉 And you can still be a great practitioner while learning to be better

That’s the journey I’ve been on — and now I get to share it with you ❤️

𝗥𝗶𝗯 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘀⁣

I’ve seen too many people tell me their concerns about if their ribs are flaring or not. It would seem that social media is causing unnecessary and likely unintentional harm by doing this!⁣

I first came across these ideas via Diane Lee and LJ Lee but Greg Chaplin from has a nice blog post which has references back to 1918 about the ISA - btw, I don’t necessarily agree with Diane, LJ, or Greg about ISA, just giving credit where it is due!⁣

“Normal Infrasternal Angle (ISA)” is touted as 90deg. Less and it is the fault of external obliques being overactive. More and it is the fault of internal obliques being overactive. But when and how do you measure it? If I measure, it is usually during “quiet breathing” and it should move.⁣

More and more seems to be made about the ISA, especially with diastasis.⁣

What many people forget is that upper TrAb will narrow the ISA if the ribs are moving. But if the ribs are fixed (braced), then it will pull on the Linea Alba.⁣

There simply isn’t enough research to assert FOR CERTAIN just why people have specific shapes. It’s like athleticism / “beauty” - it’s hard to describe but you know it when you see it!⁣

We can’t go around generating fear of trying to put people into boxes or “archetypes”. Just meet the person where they are at!⁣

Also, if you think you’re cueing TrAb by feeling at the medial edge of the ASIS and it “pops up”, I’ve got news for you (again!) - it is NOT TrAb! It’s probably internal obliques being contracted.⁣

What if the “rib flare” you are keen to diminish is because you are teaching TrAb incorrectly?!⁣

And no, your results don’t prove anything about the theory - post hoc fallacy is a real thing!⁣

I teach this sort of stuff in my course Diastasis Done Differently. You’ll see the anatomy and ultrasound images about the different muscles.⁣

Why not do the course online or come in person?⁣

If you want it in your neck of the woods, then DM me - we need about 20 paid participants to break even so if you think you can do that, then let’s make it happen!⁣

And please, stop with the “rib-flare” stuff!
