🚨 BIG NEWS! 🚨
✨ I’m so excited to share with you all that I am now a Certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist! 🙌🏻
📚 Story time…
This is a big one for me. I started this course last year during a very stressful time in my life. As the year went on I took on one big challenge after the next with the hope of growing Next Level into something great, which meant I kept putting things off when it came to working through this course and it kept getting placed on the back burner to everything else I was juggling. I also wanted to make sure I was really taking it in and not rushing through it just to get the certification.
Then on top of a lot of big changes, including a move to a new office location, a grand opening and hiring Next Level’s first employee (shoutout to the wonderful Dr. Alexis! 🙌🏻🫶🏼), along came an amazing surprise… I got pregnant myself! I was all set to complete this course before the baby arrived thinking I would have time to spare… BUT baby Tommy had other plans.
He decided to come 10 days earlier than my scheduled c-section (which was already scheduled for ~ 3 weeks ahead of my due date)! 😳 Luckily, (after 20+ hours of labor that I didn’t think I’d be experiencing prior to a planned c-section 🙃), baby boy arrived happy and healthy, and things ended up working out for the best. I was able to complete the remainder of the course right before the deadline, and I got to work through the postpartum section right as it was becoming most relevant to my own circumstances, with a newborn in my lap. A blessing in disguise!
Now, I couldn’t be happier to share my own journey with you all and be able to confidently help you along yours as well. What better way to help someone through a time so vulnerable than to have been through it yourself with your own experience? This certification is a special one for me, and I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned with all of you and help you heal in the best way possible. After I’m healed enough myself, of course. 🫶🏼
