Take the guesswork out of healing your core once and for all

start healing today

Your baby depends on you.

But so does your core and pelvic floor.

You want to tend to your recovery. What's hard is knowing how.

Between 3am google searches, fitness influencers, and now AI, finding one voice you can trust feels downright overwhelming and keeps you from starting at all.

You know that one wrong move could hurt your pelvic floor rather than help it, which make the stakes feel impossibly high.

So, back to tomorrow’s mental to-do list it goes.

Strengthening your postpartum core begins to feel like a never-ending cycle: you find something you like, you start, but you never quite finish. You haven't slept, the house is a mess, and the brain fog. Oh, the brain fog.

If giving your postpartum core the attention it needs feels close to impossible, you’re not wrong!

You’re doing everything right, you just don’t have the systems in place to keep progressing.

You might not feel like yourself right now, but I promise, she’s in there.

BUT—It doesn’t have to be like this.

Healing should feel exciting!

Your body knew how to shift and expand to grow a baby.

And when given the right instructions, it knows how to slowly put itself back together again.

With time, consistency, and the right exercises, your body will heal.

Yet, conditions such as diastasis recti, pelvic organ prolapse, or pelvic floor dysfunction can make healing feel impossible.

As a postpartum movement specialist, let me tell you: the right plan changes everything.

I created Core Reclaim to make healing your postpartum core SIMPLE.

Just 15 minutes/day is all it takes to start getting stronger.

Minimal equipment, done at home.

Expert led, no AI ever.

Baby Steps After Baby

Core Reclaim was born from a simple idea: take the "homework" I give my 1:1 postpartum clients (short, hyper-focused, deeply effective 15-minute sessions) and make it something anyone could do from home, on any schedule.

Results don’t come from working harder, they come from working smarter, consistently.

15 minutes a day, done consistently, will get you further than one hour, 2-3x a week, ever could. Consistency and the right programming compound, progress builds on progress.

Your muscles wake up, remember, and begin working for you, the way they're designed to, when they're given the right input on a regular rhythm.

Society is constantly making us feel like we need to be doing more, but I disagree.

What I believe instead? Doing a small amount of the right things, in the right order, over and over.

The Guesswork Stops Here

Core Reclaim

A Pilates-based approach to rebuild your core + confidence after baby. 15 minutes/day is all it takes.

New to Pilates? Seasoned Pro?

If you’ve never done Pilates, not to worry! I promise, you can do this! Or, if you’re a seasoned Pilates mama itching to get back to your teaser (but need your core back first), this program works for everyone no matter your starting point.

We work the pillars:

Breath, posture, and pre-pilates strength exercises are the pillars of postpartum core strength.

It’s time to reset your entire body.

WE WORK DAILY:

Consistency is key when it comes to core healing. Without consistency, we cannot create change.

15 minutes/day has never felt so easy.

We work from the foundation:

The deepest abdominal layers and pelvic floor, to build a strong core with lasting results.

Say goodbye back pain, guesswork and weakness.

Here’s What’s Inside

4 WEEKS OF DEEP, INTENTIONAL CORE WORKOUTS

Practice the same exercises 1 week at a time, giving you options to repeat or progress the next week. We work from the deepest abdominal layers and pelvic floor to lay the groundwork of a strong core. This work is nuanced and takes practice, but the results are remarkable. No more wasting your time with basic abdominal work. Here we are resetting your core for life!

Pelvic floor basics

We are going beyond kegels. Here you will take the guessing out of what you should feel from a pelvic floor contraction, and most importantly, HOW to actually contract your pelvic floor. This sections includes my bonus e-book, “7 Habits for a Highly Effective Pelvic Floor.” These simple lifestyle changes are easy to implement and yield amazing change to pelvic floor function.

diastasis recti basics

Learn 2 different ways to check your DR and see how they compare. You’ll also learn how frequently to check and what time of day is best to check. This course includes a tracker to you can keep track of your progress! BONUS: Eating for a DR (it’s NOT a diet!).

Core Strength Ally #1: Breath

The breath is the foundation of function for our pelvic floor and deep abdominals. Getting our diaphragms working optimally and tissues expanding/contracting is KEY to the foundation of strength in our entire body. You’ll learn to assess your breathing patterns, practice breath drills + abdominal contractions to get the most out of the strength exercises.

Core Strength Ally #2: Posture

To see results we must view the body as a system, rather than just looking at the core. Core strength + posture work together symbiotically: you need core strength for correct posture, and correct posture for core strength. Get ready to learn correct posture for standing, walking + pushing a stroller that will completely change your movement and habits.

Core Strength Ally #3: correct contractions

This section will change the way you do abdominal work forever. The strength lies deep within the breath. Small, precise and controlled movements are where we begin. They might not look like much, but will have you shaking like a leaf! (Plus, we’ll also go over a big no-no that I see almost every time with ab work).

get these four amazing bonuses with for a limited time only!

Bonus #1: Eating for Diastasis Recti (Yes, the food you eat affects tissue health + repair! No diets here!)

Bonus #2: Medicinal Herbs to Feel Like a Superhero by Marny Culpepper, MS, L.Ac./CEO of Culpepper Acupuncture in Oakland, CA. Herbal medicine has completely changed my life and reshaped my overall health, sleep and energy levels. This guide gives you step-by-step instructions to begin postpartum-safe herbal supplements that will completely up your game and leave you feeling like a superhero!

Bonus #3: Posture Elixirs Mini Course: A library of <6 minute videos to get you standing taller and prouder in no time. Core strength and posture go hand in hand—you can’t have one without the other!

Not All Programs Are Created Equal

some postpartum programs are Just too hard

Some postpartum programs are simply too advanced. They claim to be gentle but you leave with more questions than answers. These programs make healing even harder and keep sending you back to square 1.

most programs will teach you 360 breath…but…

Postpartum healing is not a one-size-fits-all. If we are tight, immobile or stuck in certain areas of our body, we will not achieve this elusive 360 breath. Core Reclaim teaches you HOW to assess YOUR unique body, breath patterns and habits. Then, we give you a tool kit to fix what you find! The confidence is there and the guesswork is gone.

not all programs teach posture

Some postpartum programs don’t even touch on posture. Correct posture = core strength and core strength = correct posture. You need them both. Core Reclaim will teach you how to assess YOUR own body to start standing taller and stronger today.

let’s be real, we don’t have an hour/day (and you don’t even need it!)

Some postpartum programs expect you to do hour long workouts that simply aren’t realistic to a busy mama’s life. This makes consistency impossible, nothing gets done, and you are back to square 1 even with the best intentions.

go beyond core compressions

Activating the core is only one piece of the puzzle during the postpartum period. Mobilizing the spine, pelvis, diaphragm and rib cage are crucial to pelvic floor and core function. Core Reclaim fits all of this into only 15 minutes/day!

a pilates approach

There’s good reason that Pilates is famous for its attention to posture, breath and the pelvic floor. But I think this Joseph Pilates quote speaks for itself: “In 10 sessions you will feel the difference. In 20 you will see the difference. in 30, you have have a whole new body.”

Hi! it’s so nice to meet you!

I’m Claire!

mama,exercise enthusiast and specialist of the postpartum body.

For the past 8+ years, I've helped moms move through conditions such as diastasis recti, C-section recovery, prolapse and other pelvic floor dysfunctions.

I've spent years specializing in the gap between postpartum rehabilitation and becoming genuinely strong again.

My approach is unconventional because I am not loyal to one method, but instead, I’m loyal to what your body needs! Pilates, strength training and corrective exercise make up my approach to a balanced, strong and functional body.

Getting back into things like running, the gym or simply being strong to show up for motherhood are just a few of the many goals women come to me with.

I don't believe in bounce-back culture or quick fixes. I believe that with consistency, intelligent programming, and the right coach in your corner, there's no goal out of reach — whether you're 6 weeks postpartum or 16 years out.

It takes a village to raise a mother. I'd be honored to be part of yours.

FAQs

These exercises stem from my training across multiple modalities: Pilates, strength training, yoga and physical therapy techniques. For this program, expect gentle, focused movements that go DEEP! We work in a variety of positions: on your back, hands and knees, on the wall, side-lying etc. Many of the exercises I would categorize as “pre-Pilates,” meaning that they are slightly more gentle and postpartum-friendly, giving you the foundation you need to do more advanced core work.
The breath and form are top priority of each movement and cued thoroughly. Each exercise has a tutorial you can watch and practice as many times as you’d like!
The combination of exercises, breath and posture work promote healing and rehabilitation for DR. Many women do fully heal their DR with Core Reclaim, and almost everyone sees dramatic improvement.
As no two bodies are the same, what works for someone is not guaranteed to work for someone else. Healing a DR is completely dependent on YOUR body and YOUR needs. I have seen core work heal a diastasis, but I have also seen strengthening the arch of the foot be the missing piece that allows the DR to heal.
Because I am not able to assess your individual body with this course, it would be unfair to make that promise. I do not believe it is possible to have a self-directed course promising to fully healing a diastasis.
As I said before, the combination of exercises, breath and posture work 100% promote healing and rehabilitation for DR. Many women do fully heal their DR with Core Reclaim, and almost everyone sees dramatic improvement.
We always recommend getting cleared for exercise by your medical provider (which usually happens around 6-8 weeks) before beginning any exercise regime.
Absolutely! Consider this your introduction (warning, you might get hooked!). This program is great for those new to Pilates as well as seasoned practitioners.

Postpartum is forever. This program is effective for anyone looking to regain (or simply gain for the first time!) core strength, no matter how many years postpartum you are.
100% yes. This program isn't just safe for diastasis recti and pelvic floor issues, it's designed specifically with them in mind! Because these conditions are nuanced and vary person to person, it would feel dishonest to make any guarantees of completely resolving these issues, but this program is designed to help you see significant improvement.
If you have a more significant case of DR, prolapse, or another pelvic floor condition, I'd always recommend clearing it with your pelvic floor PT or doctor first.
Absolutely. I am so certain you will see results with this program. However, if for whatever reason you start Core Reclaim and don’t love it, we offer a 7-day, 100% money back guarantee. No questions asked; you truly have nothing to lose!
We make it easy. Core Reclaim uses very minimal equipment that can easily be subbed out for household items.
-A small squishy ball (sub for a pillow)
-Small, loop glute band (optional, can use a robe tie or belt)
-OPTIONAL: foam roller

But don’t take my word for it!

Hear From My Clients

“My sessions with Claire are the highlight of my week and I am thrilled with how strong and healthy I feel. I was immediately struck by both your warmth and knowledge. You always knew the precise, tiny adjustment that would make my sessions the most productive while protecting my problematic low back. Your cueing and explanations are incredible- your knowledge of anatomy and how various parts of the body work together. Old aches and pains are diminished, I have more physical control, and my core! I have degenerative disc disease but having a strong core (and rest of my body!) is such a relief and makes me confident that I can remain healthy and injury-free for a long time! I have had 11 surgeries in the past few years and I believe my Pilates sessions with Claire have allowed me to bounce back and recover so quickly. I feel there's nothing I can't get over :).
Besides getting the best workout for my body, it is just a delight to spend time with you. You care about your clients lives and well-being in addition to their physical health. After class I feel great! Stronger, more limber, and have an overall sense of accomplishment. You should 100% take classes with Claire. 150%! You will be so happy you did. A) She is the loveliest person. B) SHE KNOWS HER STUFF C) She will listen to you, remember your specific issues, and ensure you are getting a workout that is both productive and safe D) Pilates, in the hands of a skilled practitioner like Claire, is AMAZING! It is the perfect mix of strengthening and stretching - pushing your body without punishing it. I have never felt stronger! Doing mat Pilates with Claire has totally changed my body.” -Erica
“There's a depth to the feeling in your muscles you get when you're doing Pilates with Claire that is unlike anything I've ever experienced. I have spent my whole life feeling like I am bad at sports and generally unathletic; I no longer feel unathletic - I just had to find a kind of exercise that involved a set of skills that suited me better. I feel strong..I also have noticed that my posture is so much less lopsided, even when I am not actively correcting it. That is huge and gives me a sense of confidence in the way I carry myself. After class I always, every time, feel so good - proud of myself, pleasantly sore/tired, but simultaneously energized.” -Zarine
“Getting to know Claire's work and practices have been one of the highlights and most healing things in modern life. Claire is an exceptional Pilates teacher. She is supportive, and a great communicator. Though we originally began working together to recover from a leg injury, this ultimately led to a level of strength and fitness I could have never imagined. Practicing Pilates together has been one of the best investments I’ve made in myself and my health. I highly recommend working with Claire.” -Susan
“My relationship with Claire, one that is founded on trust, healing, strength, agility, consciousness, and connection.
What makes Claire so special is she brings a holistic, whole health and human-centered approach to her unparalleled depth and breadth of practice. Because of Claire’s rigor and thoughtfulness in customizing our sessions together, I am able to listen to body in new ways.
She has enabled me to make connections between how my body stores stress and how her carefully crafted fluid movements can decompress, improve flexibility, and build strength. Since we’ve been practicing together, the nature of our practice has changed to accommodate my health and level of fitness.
Part of our practice has centered around pelvic floor release work. I am eternally grateful to Claire for her guidance and expertise in this area. She has really saved me in my times of pain and her tenderness has made me realize I am not alone. She has provided me the precious gift of healing and hope
Claire is a visionary with so much to give to her clients and her community.” -Jill
“I am 74 years old (!!!!!) and have “worked out” my entire adult life, including various types of dance, competitive swimming, strength training, yoga and pretty much everything in between. When I started private sessions with Claire I was laboring under two misconceptions; first, that I was already as strong as I could hope to be at my age, and second, that the lower back pain that had plagued me for decades was probably a given, due to scoliosis and now, osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease. After five years with Claire as my teacher, I can honestly say I was completely wrong on both counts. I feel stronger than I did a decade ago, and, even better, my back pain has all but disappeared. Claire designs our virtual classes with my particular body in mind. Each session feels like a mini adventure; no two are ever the same, and her attention to the most subtle detail of movement is, frankly, amazing. That she is a genuinely thoughtful and lovely person is icing on the cake!”
-Brenda

“This was an emotional one. Thank you for all you do. Claire has had such a huge impact on my body, my movements and overall quality of life! I have been on a journey with Claire since 2017 to fight chronic back pain. Claire has helped me overcome some of my most challenging and overwhelming times, where surgery or endless pain seemed like the only option. Her gentle approach, passion for healthy movements and attention to detail have helped me progress in times I didn’t think possible. I can’t believe the guidance she is able to give me over a zoom call! Her precise directions,/corrections change everything in how my body feels. I can’t stress enough how grateful I am for the work we do together.
I have gone from dark days of feeling unable to play with my little girl, to happily chasing my daughter at the park, and carrying her soon-to-be baby brother…here I am in my third trimester, keeping up with a two year old, and yet I feel healthy and stable. I never thought I would get here without huge amounts of pain.
Thank you, Claire for bringing such wellness to both my body and my mind. I’m so grateful for her work in helping my spine and for her deep understanding of a woman’s journey through pregnancy and postnatal recovery. I can’t wait to attack postpartum with her and make this body even stronger!” -Vanessa
"I was nearing 6 weeks postpartum and would soon be cleared by my doctor for exercise. I've always enjoyed taking pilates classes, but was looking to do something more tailored to where I was in my postpartum journey. My sister had been taking private lessons and knew Claire would be a great fit for me, so she gifted me a set of lessons. My body was still recovering from a c-section and it had been a while since I exercised. I generally felt quite weak, especially in my core. After just our first class, I started to feel stronger and more confident to begin exercising once again. Our classes are perfectly tailored to where I am in my recovery, while still challenging me a bit more each week.
It's incredibly reassuring to know that you're focusing on exercises that are safe and effective for a postpartum body. I feel fantastic after each session and so much stronger than when I started. Claire is a fantastic instructor and I'm so impressed with how she is able to help me make adjustments throughout class via Zoom. Claire creates a warm and welcoming environment, and her joy in teaching shines through. She knows the postnatal context well so you can feel confident that she's teaching safe and effective exercises that will support your body in its recovery.

I find myself being able to do typical everyday movements with much more ease (e.g., getting up off the couch without bracing myself), and I credit that to my classes with Claire and the strength that she’s helping to build back in my body.” -Clelia Anna I find myself being able to do typical everyday movements with much more ease (e.g., getting up off the couch without bracing myself), and I credit that to my classes with Claire and the strength that she’s helping to build back in my body.” -Clelia Anna
“Claire’s classes are a highlight of the week - they ground me, reset my body, and are a real complement to other forms of exercise I engage in. During classes, I feel looked after - Claire curates her classes in a way that make me feel cared for. She also gives options to make the class “your own.” After 6 months of consistent classes, I felt stronger, more toned, in better shape, and that my investment in my well-being was worthwhile. What surprised me was that consistent practice, even slowly, makes progress. I was used to fast-paced, high-energy HIIT classes that, while fun, taxed me and put undue strain on me. Adjusting to the calming but strengthening pace of Claire’s Pilates classes was an adjustment, but an adjustment I was willing to make and an adjustment I’m glad I made. I saw more healthy progress with Claire’s Pilates than I ever did with the HIIT classes. I also love talking about it with friends and giving them small tips I learn during class about breathing, how to sit up taller, how to properly engage my muscles, and more. During my consistent practice, I felt like my body was functioning more in-tune with my brain; Pilates with Claire is a time for my body to do some work, tire itself out, and get the stretch it needed." -Jessica
“Claires' classes are the perfect antidote to more than a decade spent sitting in front of a computer, which has resulted in pain and stiffness in various parts of the body. She takes the time to understand the body issues you are experiencing and her sessions are always expertly designed to target the areas which need the most attention. This, plus the positive energy she exudes, always means I leave her sessions feeling so good! Looser, stronger and more energized.
Her homework exercises allow me to extend her sessions throughout the week, and over time through her teaching, I have built up my own personalized library of strengthening and stretching exercises. Making creating a personal practice between sessions so easy. All in all this has resulted in me having a more limber and progressively stronger body, and most importantly being pain free during my working hours.” -Shona
“I started working with Claire online during the pandemic, and immediately recognized her gift as an instructor. She gently encourages her clients to push themselves "just a little bit more", and is committed to her own self improvement as an instructor. I wasn’t new to Pilates, and soon we began private sessions over Zoom. What I love about our work together is how I have learned to be much more precise in integrating the right muscles to complete an exercise. I am always surprised how much more challenging the exercises are when they are done correctly! Pilates with Claire just makes my body feel good AND helps me excel in other sports; I have a much greater awareness and appreciation of how to activate muscles independent of each other to achieve specific movements. I always look forward to Claire’s unique twist on our workouts. -Sabrina
