My littlest babe make pancakes for our home last night while I prepared to leave for a birth, and he let me know he would have breakfast for mommy on the way out. I will have some good high protein energy and filling of love to go support a sweet mama today! 💕

Postpartum Recovery ® is a space created by 4th Trimester Fitness Method for mothers to gain awareness of how support their pelvic floor & core, as well as gain strength and stability after birth and into the future.

The thing I love about this class is providing flexibility for mothers to bring their babies WITH them, and we format class according to the needs at hand (sometimes I even get the honor of holding and rocking babies while I teach so mothers can have hands free if needed- it really does take a village). 💕

Mothers also gain a chance to form connections in class with other women in the same stage of life. We intentionally encourage various motherhood discussion topics and provide safe space to discuss things about our bodies after birth (diastasis recti, incontinence, prolapse, cesarean & perineal scar massage, intimacy after birth, and more). This class is all about wellness not only physically, but in mind, body, and spirit.

For info on classes, please see my link (online options are available as well upon request).

I can't think of a more beautiful time to have a baby than in the fall, a time of year that represents transition from something old into something new. It also represents stamina and slowly for preparing the next season, much like labor, birth, postpartum, and motherhood. Fall also reminds me of beauty as the leaves change colors, and there is so much beauty to behold during baby time. 💕

Meet this brand new mama ✨

She is taking Postpartum Recovery ® and seeing so many opportunities to begin applying pelvic floor & core awareness in her life!

Are YOU a woman looking to feel more supported through things like coughing/sneezing, moving from sitting to standing, squatting/lifting, daily functional movements, or feeling supported through fitness activities?

I'd love to rope you into greater support opportunities and community mom connection. 💕

Here is my link for upcoming pelvic floor and core support during pregnancy, new postpartum, or many years beyond: https://4tfm.com/anne-homan

Horray for MORE mom support after birth 🎉

Postpartum Recovery ® is a place for new mothers to connect with one another, their bodies, and their babies! In class these women learn to connect to their pelvic floor & core and gently begin moving to begin providing support and healing to their bodies after birth. We provide many motherhood discussion topics towards awareness and support for incontinence, prolapse, intimacy after birth, diastasis recti, cesarean & perineal scar massage, and more!

I love being able to bring mamas together to support one another and promote better education and awareness for postpartum women.

NEXT class opportunities both in person and online begin Sept 21. Please visit my instructor link for more info: https://4tfm.com/anne-homan

Here is to continued opportunities for postpartum support!

Just breathe ✨

What a perfect mantra to rope in these moments captured from my last Birth Ball Basics ™ workshop. In class we practiced postural awareness and diaphragmatic breathing for pelvic floor and core support, bodily awareness/support in pregnancy, strength & stretch using the ball, lots of things to prepare for all types of birth (natural, medicated, cesarean), and even a head start on postpartum recovery awareness.

I have a few more workshops coming up for August & September at the local Jazzercise Fernandina Beach Fitness Center (virtual classes can be arranged upon request). Check out my link for details 👇

First time traveling doula ✨

I was blessed this past week to fly my 4th Trimester Fitness Method props all the way to Virginia for helping my brother and his fiance' with the start of Postpartum Recovery ®. We talked about the famous swaddle method that I learned from 4TFM, breastfeeding reminders, soothing baby techniques, cesarean recovery tips and awareness, scar massage, diastasis recti, bodily alignment, umbrella breathing, "common vs normal" with pelvic floor dysfunction, beginning to set the stage for connecting to the pelvic floor & core after birth, as well as the importance of building community for new mothers. I'm gearing up for my next classes (in person and online) where we discuss all this and more. See my link below for August class details:

It was such an honor to practice doing what I love and using it to help some of the closest people in my life. I'm excited to continue encouraging MORE women feel to feel empowered and prepared as they enter their 4th trimester.

So proud of this beautiful mama and I am over the moon excited for having the blessing of meeting her in my local mommy group over a year ago and now the honor of being at her birth as her doula. She was determined towards a natural birth this time and did every bit of preparing and asking such good questions along the way. A few things I loved about her labor were seeing her SO aware of proper pelvic inlet and outlet opening and checking her body along the way (she was spot ON thanks to 4th Trimester Fitness Method classes), and she listened to her body so well and intuitively knew some great options for pre and early labor. I was also really was blessed by her spiritual affirmations being played and verses that brought peace and comfort to all around. Congrats to this sweet mama and her growing family!

Hello double hip squeeze 🙌

This has always been a well known comfort measure to support women during birth, BUT thanks to 4th Trimester Fitness Method training I am prepared as a doula to add in a few ways to purposefully open the inlet or outlet of the pelvis, which can greatly help with guiding baby through the pelvis more efficiently. All it takes is a little awareness on the exact placement of my hands and the mothers feet.

Birth Ball Basics ™ class helps to equip women with understanding various aspects of labor, effective questions they can ask their provider, as well as ways to move their bodies for helping with comfort and labor progression. We say in class that when we effectively KNOW HOW to move the mother, we can help move the baby. Let's encourage those birthing babies to stay moving shall we?

“YOUR birth...YOUR moment!”

I cling to the idea that birth yields important “moments” in time...moments that will be remembered for all of a woman’s life! Because it matter so much, it is important to me that a woman and her family are prepared, know their options, feel confident in their choices, and are equipped to advocate for the type of birth experience desired. It is not about me or my personal opinions when I am a doula at your birth, but it is about YOU, YOUR experience, YOUR feelings, YOUR moments! It is an honor for me to serve each and every family, and I look forward to making your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum a supportive and affirming experience!
