Your postpartum
healing questions

“I went into my 4th pregnancy the most confident and fit I had ever been in my life. I knew I was finally going to have that instagram-worthy pregnancy where I exercised constantly and gained minimal weight. But the universe had a different plan. Terrible sickness, joint pain and instability, and early contractions plagued me. When I finally came out on the other side, I was the proud owner of both a rectocele (posterior vaginal prolapse) and a deep, wide diastasis recti. Both my confidence and physical strength were shredded.

I came across the RYC^® 12-Week Program and I thought I would try it. I was scared that I wouldn't be able to do the exercises because of all the pain and weakness I was experiencing. But every step of the program had modifications that allowed me to progress while my strength continued to build.

Without an ounce of drama, I can truly say that RYC^® changed my life. My core became functional and reflexive. My prolapse symptoms nearly disappeared.

But I have to say the internal progress was just as healing and dramatic. Lauren taught from a place of love and it was beautifully contagious. I slowly learned to love and trust my body. To see and treat it like a wonderful part of who I am instead of like a broken pathetic taxi to carry my brain around in. I love my life. I live pain-free. I have a truly functional core and no prolapse symptoms. Last year I completed two 36 mile cycling races and I owe it all to RYC^®.

Are you a human?? Then you need this program!! Your body and soul will reap life-changing benefits.”

“My daughter was born in August 2021. I was active before and during my entire pregnancy. When my doctor cleared me at 6 weeks, I returned to biking, weight lifting, running, etc., with no regard for my core or pelvic floor (as I was unaware of what could happen).

At 16 weeks postpartum, I was blindsided with a diagnosis of pelvic organ prolapses and diastasis recti. I began searching the internet and (thankfully) found RYC^®. I began RYC^® on January 1, 2022, and have never looked back!

When I first started, I couldn’t feel any core engagement and couldn’t walk 5 minutes without feeling symptomatic. I was scared, depressed, and felt alone.

After completing RYC^®, I am now asymptomatic, have increased mobility, am more relaxed, and I can even go on a walk around our neighborhood with my family (1.25 miles!). RYC^® has given me a community of support and an abundance of hope. I know that without a doubt I will continue to use RYC^® on a regular basis for my whole life!

Mobility and bodily autonomy are invaluable and I have found such a wealth of information through RYC^®.”

“As a pre and post-natal occupational therapist, I felt discouraged to develop bladder prolapse during my second pregnancy. For the first six weeks postpartum, I was consumed by the heaviness I felt in my pelvic floor. Every step I took. Every time I lifted my baby or my toddler. Every time I went from sitting to standing. All I wanted was to go for a walk in the crisp October weather with my babies. But I could barely last five minutes before my symptoms made it too uncomfortable and defeating.

I was terrified that this was my new “normal”. Was I ever going to be able to hike again? Do CrossFit workouts? Chase my kids? Walk for miles exploring a new city? My world became extremely small and I felt trapped.

After a lot of research on available online programs, I decided to try RYC^®.

I started the program around 10 weeks postpartum and noticed improvements quickly. I finished the program by 6 months postpartum and was symptom-free well before then. And now, at 9 months postpartum, I have not had a moment of symptoms in many, many weeks. I’m so grateful for this program and recommend it to all of the women I work with.”

“I’m 14 months postpartum, had a grade 3 bladder prolapse and struggled a lot with pain in various joints… due to the pandemics, I did an online rehab course, where we were supposed to do jumping jacks in week 3. Didn’t feel right. Then I found the RYC^®. I started doing it and my symptoms started to get better. I could bend over again, I could walk longer without that “falling out” feeling, and I learned SO MUCH about my body!! Now I run with my little one on the street and jump gently on the trampoline—it feels so good!”

“I’ve been a part of the RYC^® community for several years now. I came with some desperation having developed a large diastasis recti and also a rectocele prolapse after the birth of my 2nd child. I can honestly say that RYC^® has given me so much in terms of knowledge and confidence but above all hope. It offers no quick fixes but it has become a way of life. I may not be able to do exactly what I did exercise wise before I had children but I am strong and my symptoms are manageable!”

“I was devastated when I was diagnosed with a stage 2 cystocele after the birth of my second child. Over a year postpartum, I was still unable to go for a walk around the block without feeling it. I sunk into depression and wondered if my bladder would fall out every time I lifted my baby. My OB assured me it would not actually fall out, but offered me no help.

I stumbled upon RYC^® and decided to take a chance on it. I had previously tried other online "pelvic floor therapy" programs, and all they did was worsen my symptoms. I was skeptical but felt I had nothing to lose at that point.

I worked through RYC^® and gradually felt myself grow stronger. The change from start to finish, and now over a year later, has been amazing. My baby is now a 25+ pound toddler. I am back to pre-baby activity levels: running, cycling, rowing, and hiking — some of which involves carrying the toddler. I cannot remember the last time I felt any symptoms of my cystocele — I have had none since completing RYC^®. This program truly gave me my life back and I am forever grateful.”

“I found RYC^® Program when I was 6 months postpartum with baby #3. I was getting ready to run my first half marathon post baby and discovered I had a grade 2 cystocele. I canceled my race, was told by doctors to do lots of kegels but there was nothing to be done to reverse a prolapse and was left feeling hopeless and with an uncomfortable heavy feeling between my legs. My hopes were also dashed of having another baby someday as I feared making my already “impossible” situation worse.

When I came across RYC^®, I read testimonial after testimonial and felt a glimmer of hope. For the first time I felt like I had some control over my outcome. I stopped all activity outside of RYC^® and walking for 3 months.

Within the first 2 weeks, my prolapse symptoms were gone. Within 12 weeks, I felt strong again. Within 6 months, my dr confirmed I NO LONGER HAVE A PROLAPSE AND I was back to running, picking up my kids and all other activities.

I’m now one year postpartum with baby #4 and have never felt stronger. I still have no signs of prolapse, no DR and feel better than ever! Thank you Lauren and RYC^®!! Praise God for healing!”

“I came to RYC^® after being a competitive runner, marathoner, and yoga enthusiast. After my third child, my body was disconnected parts working independently instead of a cohesive unit around a strong core. I had stress incontinence and pain with sex, even though I was still relatively fit and trim on the outside.

For some time, my ego kept me from slowing down and focusing on healing because the call of the intense workout was so loud and familiar. But RYC^® has taught me SO much. I have come to the realization of where my need to shred comes from (a feeling of unworthiness to simply be and heal) and I have started to unravel the meaning behind how I ended up where I am physically. Besides the psychological stuff, the workouts are badass.

I would encourage you to gift yourself the time to slow down, dial in, and focus on healing. Your body and mind will be all the better for it.”
