"I just wanted to say, where has Every Mother been all my life? I've always worked on my fitness, have an advanced degree in public health, and am a practicing Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. I've had 3 children in 4 years and have worked really hard to get in shape and recover, and had the nutrition piece, but didn't know anything about DR, etc. Every Mother has breathed new life into my fitness goals and given me a gentle but effective way to care for myself. Thank you, Every Mother ❤️"

"I spent literally thousands of dollars of pelvic floor physical therapy but this app is what really made the difference. For $45 for a 3 month subscription this is honestly a steal. Best money I ever spent!"

"Reclaim 21 day check in! Very pleased with my progress thus far. DR has gone from 3.5 cm to 2 cm at belly button and I’ve lost two inches. Most importantly, I feel so much stronger! I am one of the rare cases of hypertonic pelvic floor but I did not notice any return of symptoms even with careful introduction of Kegels. So excited to keep going!"

"I had 3 kids in 2 yrs, one set of twins and I can really feel a difference in my body shape and DR reduction at 30d into Reclaim. I was sure when I found out I was having twins that they would wreck my body and it was hard but Reclaim is aptly named. 💞💞💞💞"

"EM workouts have been satisfying for me and have helped strengthen what I can. Better orgasms, no incontinence. Those are huge things!!!"

"I have found that Surpass is challenging and addictive and love it so much. I look forward to my workouts each day as opposed to it being a chore I have to get through."

"Aside from the belly results..I have definition in my arms and legs for the first time in years. And it's only been a month. Can't wait to find out what's next!"

"Absolutely loving the app. Beautiful and so simple to use. My favorite part is having the daily assignments, checking them off, and seeing the ‘Congrats’ box! It seems like a small thing, but for me it makes it feel like a game to not break my streak—and I freaking love games! "

"I have been using this method over a year now and I suffered from severe, like freaky severe, diastasis recti following the birth of my second baby. I can't recommend this enough."

"6 months postpartum I was told I had diastasis recti. I was crushed and even more upset when I found out that all of my Pilates and barre classes had made my condition worse. I was told only surgery would fix my diastasis recti. Within 2 months of diligently following the program I have almost 100% closed my abdominal gap. This is amazing."

"The thing that really drew me to this program was the fact that I will learn how to best protect my core all day long, not just during my workouts. It's all about taking a holistic approach to the issue and understanding that my core effects everything."

"The app has made it SO simple and motivating to do the core exercises every single day. It feels great to be able to check it off each day."

"I was so tired postpartum that I was worried about doing an exercise program and even once I started this I was worried about doing it everyday. The nice thing is that this program takes all of that into account! Some days are off with no workout whatsoever, other days the workouts are mostly stretching to help your body recover from everything it has been through. Perfect for mom's recovering body!"

"I wanted to share my experience today at my 6 week pp follow up with my ob/gyn. She checked my kegel strength and was floored at how strong it was. She said she hasn't had a patient with kegel strength like that for almost as long as she can remember. At that point she asked for the name of the program again and wrote it down. I was so proud!"

"I was leaking after giving birth for 5 months and my DR was three fingers and very deep and in six weeks by doing this three times a week I am back BABY and I feel stronger and the DR barely there. Thank you."

"Postpartum recovery feels like Humpty Dumpty. 🥚 and EM feels like being put back together again!"

"Every Mother is part of my everyday hell or high water routine! You are saving my core, my life and my back! Thank you so much."

"I am 1 year PP, have DR, and an epic double (side by side) hernia (umbilical, born with them). I’m on day 19 of Reclaim and am so happy I found this program! I’m well aware that my hernias won’t be fixed from this but I finally have enough ab strength to hold my abs in, my DR is improving, and I look so much better."

"I finally signed up and started following the steps, and I can't believe the progress I'm making. Less back pain, no more leaking, and my belly is going back into place. This program could not be easier to follow. I highly recommend!"

"I don’t have much, if any, diastasis but the Core Compressions have been the BEST pain management tool I’ve found for my low back problems (bulging discs, excessive lordosis, arthritis, muscle imbalance). If I skip more than one day I realize very quickly exactly how much it’s helping—A LOT."

"I weigh less, feel stronger, run faster, and look healthier than I did before I was pregnant!"

"I'm slowly getting my confidence back as I feel my body getting stronger and my reflection looking better. It is the right kind of intensity and it doesn't take much time out of my busy schedule. Love love love!"

"I just went for a two mile run- with no urge to pee!! That’s kind of a funny milestone but it has previously been unachievable for me. I did light Core Compressions with every exhale. I have been wanting to get back into running so badly and now it finally seems possible again."

"I just wanted to share that I love the new videos and program set-up with videos each day to guide me. It really keeps me accountable and I’ve only missed two days since starting after Memorial Day. This is my second baby and I have a HUGE gap and an umbilical hernia, but I’m encouraged to keep up this workout to heal and possibly avoid surgery one day."

"I love the short, targeted, and challenging workouts. I can get a workout and Core Compressions in each day while still keeping up with my 6-month-old’s demanding schedule!"

"I have been doing the program for 9 months and before I started I just assumed I would live the rest of my life with back pain. But I’m pain-free now! You will be so happy you did this."

"The app is genius. It works like a charm. The exercises are low impact, but insanely effective. I already feel SO much stronger in my core. I have corrected my "weak/tiny" bladder issue (which was really just a weak pelvic floor), and have stopped having to deal with "pee sneezes"! I have more energy. I look forward to my daily workouts."

"When I started the program 2 years ago after having my 5th baby, my gap was large (4-5 fingers at belly button and 3 fingers wide above and below). By the end of 12 weeks of Core Compressions and the exercises my gap was down to 2 fingers at the belly button and 1 above and below. It took more time for mine to close than just 12 weeks, it was about 6 months, but it did close! Don’t get discouraged, the wider and deeper it is, the more time it takes. I enjoyed the exercises, so I’m still a member even though I closed my DR, and I’m careful not to reopen it. I like how I don’t have to try and modify exercises to be safe like when I try other classes or programs."

"I would absolutely recommend this approach to friends and would advise any woman who wants to tone up and lose inches to follow this program whether she has had children or not.”

"I discovered how to activate my core strength which is particularly important as I age. This practice allows my back strength and freedom. One of the many results is that I feel so much more energetic and happy.”

"5 years after my second child was born, I was finally able to get rid of my diastasis without surgery."

“I’m in better condition than I was at 25, because I pay more attention to working out; I am stronger than I was before; I like my post baby body more – I’ve learned to embrace how I look.”

"The program made me feel strong and in control of my body during a time when a mom-to-be can feel her body is out of her control.”

“I’m feeling stronger, healthier and smarter in the decisions I’m making. I had a plan the second time round.”

“The real benefit has been how Leah helped me to feel empowered by my pregnancy. She has helped me understand my body’s natural design and enhance its strengths.”

"The abdominal strengthening exercises not only improved my overall fitness, but they also helped me to strengthen my core, and prevent re-injury as I did things like lift my son from his crib."

What was your motivation for starting Every Mother?
I was blessed to have 3 kids in 18months, including a set of identical twin girls. The twin pregnancy was my last and it was very tough on my body. I started the EM journey to help close my DR gap, establish a regular and safe fitness routine and begin to own my body again. The Reclaim workout is so aptly named!
What are/were your goals?
My goal was to close my DR gap, strengthen my abs to minimize my postpartum “pooch” and strengthen my glutes and hips safely before getting back into running again. I also just want to be able to find 20 minutes a day that are for me.
What are your tips for sticking with the program?
I split up the Core Compression (CC) portion of Reclaim from the workout. In general, I do the workout in the afternoon when my toddler sleeps and air-play the workout to a TV either in our living room or in our work-out space. If it’s been a crazy day I fit it in by still air-playing to the living room, staying in whatever clothes I’m in, and having my toddler or the twins “join”. This works best on days when the workout isn’t from the cardio strength group, so I have definitely shuffled the workout around to suit what is going on – I love having the flexibility in the app to find other workouts to replace or add in. I do the CC every night after the kids are asleep, I find that it is very relaxing to spend 10 minutes focused on breathing and CC to end the day.
What has been your favorite Every Mother moment?
The first DR check-in was pretty amazing. Despite the reviews I had read about EM (in fact it was a twins mom group where I learned about it), I was still stunned to see how much progress I had made in a month – my DR belly button gap had closed from 2.5cm to 1cm.
What advice do you give to other mothers trying to prepare for birth/resolve DR/meet new fitness goals? (please answer based on your current experience)
Be creative about finding the time to make it work. Use the workout library to find the length or style of workout that fits with your day – including if that means sneaking 12 minutes in without changing your clothes 🙂
What charity have you chosen for donation and why?
Planned Parenthood – my mother took me to a PP mother/daughter retreat when I was 13 for the “birds and the bees” talk. PP continues to be such an important source of support, education and health services for women.
