Discover how to build postpartum strength and healthy movement habits to feel energized and connect to your miraculous life giving body

Move into this next stage of life as a Mama stronger and more confident in 12 weeks with out the worry of which exercises are safe and effective for you.

Your body has been through so much during pregnancy, delivery and motherhood.

It’s hard to even know where to begin taking care of your body when you're focusing on caring for your baby or children so much of the time.

If you are like most women I talk to, you probably feel tired, overwhelmed and unsure of which exercises to focus on when you get around to rolling out an exercise mat. 

You may be wondering if you will ever feel strong and confident about your body again. When will your body feel like your own again?!

Society places So. Much. Pressure on postpartum women to "bounce back” to the way they were before they were pregnant. The thing is 

 You are not going BACK. You are moving forward into a new phase of life.

You are a mother, you have grown and birthed a baby, how amazing is that?! You are  doing the most essential job of raising and nurturing children. 

Postpartum women are told to work out more with crunches, running and weight lifting, but the truth is your postpartum body needs specific care.

Jumping into those things before your body is ready can cause more harm than good and leave you feeling defeated and in pain, or causing injury like diastasis recti, or pelvic organ prolapse. 

Which of these sound familiar to you?

  • You've been " cleared for exercise" but wish you had more information about where to start.

  • You know it's time to pay attention to how you are feeling, but finding time for yourself is challenging.

  • You are nervous about exercising because you don't want to make your ab separation, sore back, or pelvic floor issues worse.

  • You thought about doing, or have tried doing some online exercises classes but are not sure if you are doing it right and would like more personalized attention.

  • You have tried starting fitness activities after you had a baby a few months or years ago and it's just not feeling right.

  • You were a runner, dancer, yogi, group fitness devotee, etc before Pregnancy, and you are ready to build a strong foundation of strength so you can continue doing things you love.

You need to build a foundation of strength before adding on the challenges of running, weight lifting or group exercise classes.

Pregnancy and birth has a huge impact on your body, and if you had a c-section, as you know, that was major surgery. These things require attention to heal and connect with, beyond taking it easy for a few weeks

The ways your body has changed and adapted to motherhood may be giving you aches and pains and challenges in your daily actives.

Addressing how you move throughout your day will not only help you feel more comfortable but also help you build that strong foundation.  

Moving with intention, knowing what to look out for, which activities are helpful to your body now (and which are not) is where the key lies. 

This leads to confidence in what your body can do, a deeper connection and understanding of where your body is and how to move forward. You will feel that strength and confidence as you move forward into this next stage of your life.

What is my investment?

After working with Mamas one on one and in small groups for many years I know  the transformation that is possible for you. You can be stronger than before baby.

The price to work with me in person for 12 weeks ranges from $900-$2,400 depending on the number of people in the session and the location. 

Working this way requires scheduling that fits with the other Mamas in the session and the studio. Many times these do not line up with your unique schedule. 

What if your sitter cancels at the last minute, your husband gets home late that day, or your baby is extra fussy as you are about to leave and you miss the class or session?

Over the years I’ve seen this happen way too often. Mamas struggle with the challenges of scheduling and they stay stuck and unable to progress towards their goals. 

They stay in the place of being in pain and unable to return to the actives they love. 

This is why I developed this course!  So that you can do it on your schedule, when it works for you and your family. 

 I want to make this course as accessible as possible for more Mamas.

And this is why I am offering the course for only 3 installments of $179. Yes, you can get all the information I share with women one on one for a fraction of the cost. 

This is not a course where you are just set out on your own with a few videos to watch. I am here for you and will be answering your questions and meeting with you live to support you and guide you along the way. 

Once you complete this course you will have knowledge and skills that will be valuable to you for the rest of your life. You also will have lifetime access to the course materials.

"For Moms, It’s a racket out there, there’s a lot of things I spent money on that I didn’t need to spend money on, but this for SURE is one of the things that I’m so happy that I did." - Swathi MWIM member

What people are saying

I felt stronger physically and mentally after working with Christmas. She's the best.”

Kerry OKeefe, Pilates Instructor and Mom of 2

After having my second baby, I needed help engaging my core since my body felt totally foreign. Christmas was kind, understanding and so helpful. I am a Pilates teacher as well and often push myself a little too fast. We worked on regaining connection to my deep muscles to support me, alleviate my back pain, and come up with a plan. I felt stronger physically and mentally after working with Christmas. She's the best.”

Christmas always seemed to know what I (and the group) needed.

Katie Mom to Ella and baby girl on the way

Christmas always seemed to know what I (and the group) needed. The time I spent with Christmas was time for myself which was so important to me in the beginning with a new baby. I gained confidence and increased my strength after birth. Additionally, she brought together a group of women that created a little community in which we could all share our successes and triumphs as new moms. I cannot recommend Christmas enough.

I highly recommend Move with Intention Mama to any and all moms out there.

Rima, Mom of 2 and MWIM member

"I've truly had a beyond wonderful experience working with Christmas during both of my pregnancies as well as after (via her Move with Intention Mama course). She is incredibly knowledgeable in the body during pregnancy and postpartum, and she has a passion for educating and helping mamas regain a sense of strength. Throughout the course, I learned how to rebuild my body as well as learned optimal ways to move while caring for the new little loves in our lives. Christmas provides a genuine sense of care through weekly check ins, and the group model creates a sense of community and safe space. I highly recommend Move with Intention Mama to any and all moms out there. "

“I’m so grateful to you, you are doing a very fantastic thing for women, thank you.”

Jesika, Mom to Noah and MWIM member

“I never thought about it, obviously having big blocks of time is super hard, but if I’m doing something and can incorporate a couple these movements then that is totally better than nothing and that’s super helpful. I definitely feel the difference” “I think the format is absolutely perfect. I think what your doing is so great, I hope that more Moms learn about it and take the course, this is exactly what we Moms need” “Having the live check ins is really helpful, then having the video just available for whenever, knowing they are there for me when I’m ready.” “I’m so grateful to you, you are doing a very fantastic thing for women, thank you.”
