Build Your Foundation Right The First Time
Heal properly from the start, so you're not fixing it later
We’ve Rejected Bounce-Back Culture For A While Now
But let’s be honest:
You want to feel strong.
You’ve been cleared for exercise, but you know that your body isn't quite ready for what you’ve been told is ok.
You know a run is probably a bad idea right now. You’re not sure about the Pilates class you used to love.
Even a gentle yoga class feels fine, but has you wondering if it’s what you should be doing.
Where Does “Postpartum Exercise” End, And When Does “Regular Exercise” Begin?
You've either gotten pretty good at the version of exercise keeping safely below anything too demanding, or not knowing where to begin, have hesitated to start at all.
And for good reason!
The hard lesson of too much too soon is no secret; you know you need to build your foundation first.
But, you're dreaming of the day when you get to stop modifying, when postpartum workouts end and regular exercise—and strength— begins.
When you're allowed to stop treating yourself like you're fragile.
Nobody’s told you what "after" looks like, and you want more than hoping you get there with time.
Postpartum Safe
Postpartum Safe + Built For You
A postpartum-safe app or group class is a nice place to start, but it's not a place to stay.
You're not doing the wrong work… but you find yourself wondering whether or not it’s the best work for your body right now.
Without the right plan, you end up in one of two places.
Some moms stay in gentle, generic work far longer than they need to. Strong-ish, never actually strong. The aches and symptoms that show up years later just become "normal."
Others rush the rehab phase, pushing into more before their body was ready, because no one was guiding them on when, and how much.
Different paths, with the same regret:
I wish I'd done this properly the first time.
The good news:
If you get it right the first time, you only have to do it once!
Postpartum healing is a period where expert guidance should be non-negotiable.
If you’re working your way back to physical activities—or simply want to feel your best for your family—the right coach, and the right plan to get you there, are essential.
Postpartum healing is a project of the entire body. Pelvic floor rehab, Pilates, and functional strength comprise the Pea Body Pilates approach to get you there.
We start at the pelvic floor and core, but go far beyond that to build a body that is even stronger than the one you had before.

Here’s What Changes
You get through the day feeling like your body is healing, not just getting by.
You might not be there yet, but your goal of running or lifting again feels closer than ever.
You don’t have to wonder when you get to “graduate” from the postpartum Pilates class.
A walk becomes a form of self-care again, not something you’re testing out.
You never have to google, “is this normal.” Instead, you have an expert a message away who knows your body and can answer for you personally.
You have confidence you’re making progress, one step at a time.
You trust what your body can do.
A Body That’s Changing Every Week Needs A Plan That Is, Too.
Get It Right When It Matters Most
One week your energy's up and your core feels more connected, but the next, the same movement feels totally different.
Walking felt fine last week, but today it feels precarious.
Postpartum healing is rarely a straight line.
Not knowing how to navigate symptoms will keep you going two steps forward and one step backwards.
But the good news? When you get it right the first time, you only have to do it once.
This program is high-touch, because there should be no other way to do it!
Regular check-ins and form checks means your plan stays true to a body that's changing every week; constant communication never leaves you guessing.
You’re never left doing the wrong thing long enough for it to become a habit you have to undo later.
I've never met a mom who has the time and energy to do busywork with her postpartum healing.
Or even less fun, to have to redo it.
With me, a custom, evolving plan ensures you get it right when it matters most.
“Training with Claire has totally changed my body.”
Hi, I’m Claire!
I’m the owner and founder of Pea Body Pilates. Most importantly, I’m a mom of 2.
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.

Not All Training Is Created Equal
I do the thinking, you do the healing.
We check in regularly. From there, I build your plan for the days ahead.
Your daily sessions are just 20 minutes, with the option for more if you want it.
Alongside you, I track your symptoms and your healing, adjusting your plan in real time.
Your week's plan lands in the app. Press play, and know your body is getting exactly what it needs, one step closer to recovery each day.
A week of zero sleep where a shower is your biggest win? We adjust, guilt-free, and keep you moving forward.
How It Works:
-
Goals, History and Movement Assessment
Your 60 minute kickoff call: this is where it all starts!
We'll talk through where you're at right now, your birth (delivery type, recovery so far, anything you're still healing from), and your current life circumstances (your plan has to work with a newborn, disrupted sleep, and everything else that comes along).
On this call we go through a full movement and symptom assessment, which serves as the base of your postpartum healing program.
From here I design a personalized 12-week plan, with the intention that it will evolve as we move through the weeks.
-
No AI workout builders or templates here!
Programs I build for clients are completely custom and created by me. I design a plan that's 100% yours and 100% adaptable: if something needs to change (and in this window, it often will), we change it immediately.
Your plan starts with the fundamentals: breath, posture, and safe, correct contraction, before layering in movement.
As your body is ready, we progress. We’ll begin to add in more challenging core work as we move through the weeks, as well as layering in more functional upright movement and getting you closer to “regular” exercise (and of course, this will differ by individual goals, such as returning to running or going back to non-postnatal yoga.
We progress only at YOUR body’s pace, which will differ for everyone and one of the greatest benefits of having a custom program during this window!
-
Your Training Schedule Lands In The App Every Week.
I plan it all out for you. Just press play and go! (Did I mention you only need 20 minutes/day?).
There is no better feeling than handing over the mental load of guessing what you should be doing.
Full video tutorials and detailed cueing explain every exercise, and I'm always a quick video message away to check your form and give feedback between our weekly sessions.
Life happens (especially now), so we adjust your plan accordingly when needed. Progress over perfection is key during this window!
-
Ongoing Support, Form Checks, Coaching, And Adjustments As Your Body Heals
Think of me as your personal trainer and mom friend in your back pocket.
I take on only a small client load at a time to ensure you're getting personalized attention and focus from me.
You're never on your own between sessions. We stay in constant communication through a private messaging channel, videos back and forth, form checks, symptom check-ins, and adjustments to your program as your body changes week to week.
Consistency and accountability are what make or break this period, which is a pillar of how I train clients (and how you heal well!).
-
Nutrition, Recovery And Lifestyle Where They'll Help Your Healing
Once you're rolling with your program, we zoom out.
Together, we look at the entire ecosystem of your postpartum body and life circumstances: your energy levels, how you're nourishing yourself to recover and not just get by, supporting your hormones and milk supply.
How you're fueling your body plays a major role in tissue repair and overall recovery. Small, easy-to-implement actions go a long way here, and we'll personalize them to your life and lifestyle.

Keep Training Together, Or Move Forward Knowing How To Continue.
Our container together may have an end point, but you won't hit it and be left to figure out the rest on your own. As we get closer, we'll talk through what's next for you.

If You Have 20 Minutes/Day For The Next 3 Months,
You’ll Have A Body You Can Trust For The Long Run
You don't need a newborn who naps on schedule with three pristine workout windows (for me that day never came!).
You don’t even need a full hour or a room full of fancy equipment.
You need 20 minutes everyday, the right plan, and a dedication to getting strong again.
Your recovery needs to work in the life you have right now, not “once things settle down.”
With the right coach and the right plan, you WILL heal properly. And a body that heals correctly the first time is a body you don't have to keep circling back to fix later.
When a week goes sideways, no big deal, we adjust it!
When your body needs something different, we change it! Easy.
When you miss a session, you don't get dumped three weeks behind and starting from scratch again.
Getting it right the first time doesn’t require perfection.
If you have 20 minutes each day for the next 3 months, you’ll have a body you can trust for the long run.

You Ask, I Answer!
-
If you’ve gotten this far, I already know you’re invested in your future body!
This is best suited for moms in the early postpartum window (under 6 months postpartum) who want a guided, personalized approach to healing.
It's a great fit if you:
Are looking to rebuild your core, pelvic floor, and overall strength the right way, not just "get your body back" as fast as possible
Want a plan that adjusts to your life: disrupted sleep, unpredictable days, low energy, whatever this season looks like
Are dealing with symptoms like diastasis recti, pelvic floor weakness, or general uncertainty about what's safe to do right now
Want ongoing, 1:1 support from someone who specializes in postpartum bodies
Would rather heal properly the first time than push through and deal with issues later
It's not the right fit if you're looking for a high-intensity program, a quick fix, or something fully self-directed with no check-ins along the way. This is a slower, highly supported approach, so patience and trusting in the process during the postpartum window is a must.
-
Healing these conditions is a highly individual process, so you're in the right place to seek 1:1 support and address them early!
During your initial assessment, we screen for both, so we know what we're working with from day one. From there, your plan is built to support your healing.
That being said, this program isn't a substitute for pelvic floor physical therapy. If your assessment shows signs of more significant dysfunction, I'll let you know and may recommend working with a pelvic floor PT alongside our work together, or before we begin certain movements.
One other thing to note: this program runs 3 months, but these conditions often need more time (typically 6-9 months to see significant improvement). We can plan for that together; feel free to book a free discovery call to talk through what your specific healing process might look like.
My goal is always to get you the right support, which looks different for everyone. I'm committed to being as clear as possible about what this process will look like for you, with no surprises.
-
Nope! In fact, this early postpartum work is meant to be done easily at home.
We will most likely incorporate small props such as a foam roller, yoga block, and squishy pilates ball.
We can easily work with what you have lying around the house. I’ll only tell you to buy props if I think it is absolutely necessary!
-
The goal of these three months is to establish a solid foundation, built through consistent practice.
A typical time commitment looks like just 20 minutes a day, 4-5x a week (built out for you in your custom plan, so you know exactly what you're doing each day), plus a weekly 30-minute 1:1 session together.
If you want more than 20 minutes, we can absolutely do that! But the goal here is consistency above all, so keeping sessions short enough to stay manageable is what keeps you on track:)
-
This is a common and valid question!
Yes, all coaching is delivered virtually through the Pea Body Pilates app and live video calls (zoom), so you can work with me from anywhere. If you’re used to in-person only, this can be a bit of an adjustment, but many clients are relieved at how much freedom/flexibility in their schedule virtual training offers.
Making sure you feel confident in your movements and never guessing is extremely important to me. Rest assured, that will not be a problem.
In addition to detailed tutorial videos in the Pea Body Pilates app, you’ll have weekly live 1:1 sessions with me for the entire 3 months where we will go over your exercises in real time. You’ll also have direct messaging access to me between sessions for video form checks so I can watch your form and give feedback.
This goes far beyond what in-person training offers, where you only are in the studio/gym a couple times/week and have no reference point between sessions!
-
Every package includes nutrition and lifestyle coaching from me as a certified Integrative Health Practitioner.
My approach is rooted in nourishment, specifically focused on whole foods, energy, and hormone support (never diet culture or deprivation).
We're always thinking about what we can add in, not just what to take out, and which easy, small habits we can layer in to support your body as it heals and rebuilds.
This will differ for everyone; what your body needs in these early months is highly individual, and we take into account factors like breastfeeding, milk supply, sleep deprivation, and how your energy and hormones are shifting during this specific window.
We build your plan around what your life looks like right now, whether that's more energy, better recovery, supporting your milk supply, or simply introducing healthier habits for the whole family.
-
I totally understand the hesitation to invest in yourself this way, especially when you now have a whole other person to take care of. It’s very real!
I invite you to think of this less as a “fitness or wellness cost” and more as an investment in your long-term health and well-being. My hope is that by doing the right work during this early phase, it will save you from expensive treatments or specialists down the road.
I want exercise and health to be accessible for everyone, so please feel free to reach out at hello@peabodypilates.com if finances are keeping you from being able to train with me.
-
3 months is a good amount of time to first build a foundation to work from, without keeping you stuck in the “rehab phase” for too long. As mentioned in the DR/pelvic floor FAQ, certain conditions can take longer and require more time together.
After the 3 months is up you will have a clear idea what I think your next steps should and how to get there. Some continue to train with me in postpartum + beyond, and others feel ready to take it from here on their own!
You’re Future Body Is Coming Either Way.
Let’s Build It Right From The Start.
You could still be wondering if you should subscribe to the the postpartum exercise app from Instagram. The on-demand postpartum yoga classes are fine… but you know you need more.
Or, you could have three months of guided recovery behind you, and a roadmap of exactly where to go next.
Movements that used to feel uncertain don't anymore. You know what your body can handle. You're not second-guessing every rep, and when you do feel unsure, you have a trusted specialist only a message away.
You know exactly when you're ready to move beyond postpartum-specific exercise, instead of guessing and either rushing it or staying overly cautious longer than you need to.
Healing has now stopped being something you were anxious about getting wrong, and instead is a process you trust.
