Results depend greatly upon a variety of things like the severity of your Diastasis, any additional health complications, past medical history, and dedication to doing the program as recommended. Clients who are the most consistent with their workouts and my recommendations see the best results. I will do everything in my power to ensure your success BUT the outcome is really up to you. Each mom is starting from various sizes of their DR, have different commitments, and may have other medical conditions to consider. Therefore each woman’s healing may be different. You should begin to see improvements as fast as 2 weeks into the program but you may need to do more than 1 round to get the full results you desire. There is NO RUSH, it’s all about getting good results.

It depends. If you're highly motivated, self directed and will commit to the program without need for additional accountability then you should do great as a self led client. Results will vary (at any client level) based on level of commitment and consistency, the severity of your Diastasis, genetics, your nutrition habits, if you're still nursing, how far postpartum you are, etc. All client success stories above are of clients from both levels. But if at any point you feel you would benefit from additional accountability, a 1-on-1 call with Dr, Jones or a live group session you can add it on at anytime.

Unfortunately many women are told this due to a lack of knowledge about physical therapy & postpartum training options that provide an progressive/ comprehensive approach. My program and clients are PROOF that you can improve your Diastasis "naturally" and that surgery is not the *only* option. So not only will your Diastasis improve but so will your overall strength, health, knowledge of your body, posture awareness, leaking, and confidence in all the things your body CAN do. NO surgery is going to provide you that. Even if you do opt or have a need for surgery, rehab before and after will only IMPROVE the outcomes of your surgery. So you joining this program is a WIN WIN.

Whether it's been 10 months or 10+ years since you've given birth, it's NEVER too late to make improvements to your core. Improving Diastasis recti requires strengthening of your core muscles and linea alba tissue. I teach you how to progressively load your core which can help both strengthen your core and thicken and the linea alba tissue. I've helped moms 15+ years postpartum get results. If you're willing to commit to the process you will see improvements. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

There are tons of different programs and exercise videos you can follow on YouTube & Social Media on Diastasis but none of them are customized to YOU. Diastasis is a WHOLE body issue that requires a thorough assessment of your individual posture, body alignment, muscle imbalances, pelvic floor function, connective tissue integrity, & ability to activate and strengthen the RIGHT muscles in order to properly help your core. That's what my program provides. If you've only been doing breathing exercises or easy exercises lying on your back then I guarantee you haven't challenged your core enough to see actual results. My program provides you targeted exercises for your individual Diastasis type and get you back to exercising and living life without Diastasis holding you back.

I do not take insurance. I have had several clients in the past who have used their HSA allowance and sometimes received reimbursement based on their HSA policies. If that's an option for you I would recommend reaching out to them and ask if they cover anything along the lines of postpartum rehab or fitness training. The education and training provided in this program is not considered as physical therapy. If wishing to have physical therapy with Dr. Jones you must be a resident of North Carolina. Anyone globally can do this online program.

As long as you're not experiencing pain or signs of entrapment at the site of your hernia you should be ok to participate in this program. If you've already had a repair you are free to join as long as you have your doctor's clearance. Many women have successfully completed this program and seen good results even with a hernia present as I go over principles such as breathing, posture, pressure management, and proper engagement of your deep core ALL which are beneficial to help reduce the severity and protect an existing hernia. If fearful that exercise will make it worse that's the benefits of having access to me to ask questions and get guidance anytime.

Absolutely!! I too am a C-birth mama so I know 1st hand how the surgery (and pregnancy in itself) can effect your core AND pelvic floor. Did you know that the linea alba tissue is actually torn in order for the doctor/midwife to reach your uterus and deliver the baby?! Therefore research shows c-birth moms are more likely to have DR than those who delivered vaginally. Even if the abdominal separation is not apparent you could still benefit from the inner and outer core strengthening, c-section scar mobilization, total body strengthening, breathing and posture education I provide in this program. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Yes, you can access your printable guides & workout videos from any device and perform them at your leisure

They range from 20-30 minutes depending on how many rounds you do & what level you’re at in the program

8 Weeks. After that you have the option to repeat the program as many times as you like and transition into my monthly membership program for ongoing accountability, support, and more

You can begin to see lasting visible results anywhere from 6-8 weeks if you’re being consistent. Deeper results like fascial reconstruction can take 6 months to a year. Every woman’s healing time is different but the key is to give your best and be consistent to see the best results. For 8 weeks you have access to me for questions, coaching, & performance of program as a group. Once 8 weeks are up you have access to the program to repeat as many times as you need to heal for up to 1 year. It’s not a race…the key is to heal in your timing.

No the Diastasis does not automatically open again/return once you stop doing the program. The principles I'm teaching you like diaphragmatic breathing, correctly engaging/strengthening your core, & practicing good posture habits are things you will want to continue for life to keep you healthy, pain-free and strong. So you won't necessarily need to follow my specific program or keep "healing your Diastasis" forever but in order to maintain the strength gains you achieve throughout the program I highly recommend practicing the principles & incorporating the exercises into your normal exercise routine. But NO your Diastasis will not reverse just because you're no longer doing the program.

Yes! You get lifetime access to all videos, guides & tutorials unless you're accessing the program through the monthly membership then access is based on the length of your membership. There is NO RUSH for you to complete the program in 8 weeks as I understand that life happens as a mom so therefore you can resume and perform the program at your own leisure anytime. If needing continued 1:1 guidance after the 8 weeks you can reach out to Dr. Jones to set up a call.

No. Because Diastasis is a whole body issue we strengthen & stretch the whole body depending on your individual needs seen on assessment

I recommend holding on current workouts for at least the 1st 2 weeks of the program to have an better assessment of your needs & lay down a strong foundation of proper breathing, movement patterns, deep core muscle connection and engagement. After that's established you're welcome to resume any other workouts including weight lifting as long as you're able to transition the foundational concepts into your workouts & they don’t aggravate your symptoms, cause pain or excessive conning.

Absolutely! Poor gut health, dehydration, and imbalanced nutrition can all contribute to bloating and poor tissue healing and muscle repair. I provide a nutrition guide that teaches you how to reduce bloating foods, improve tissue healing, and improve overall balanced healthier eating. This is not a weight loss program but if healthy weight loss is apart of your goals we have additional meals plans and nutrition coaching available to help you reach your goals.

Once you gain access to the program you will either have a virtual 1-on-1 consultation with Lashonda (if 1-on-1) OR access a pre-recorded guided assessment (if self led). This assessment will give us insight into the width/depth of your diastasis, postural habits, breathing patterns, core strength, muscle imbalances, pelvic floor function & ability to engage and strengthen your deep and outer core muscles. You will then progress through the 8 week program weekly and customize the exercises to fit your needs based on your assessment. You will also have access to an 8 week calendar and weekly instruction emails to help you stay on track. You can access the program from any device at ANY time at your own convenience.

After signing you will immediately receive your welcome email and access to the program inside your inbox. If you are a 1-on-1 client additional emails will be sent to schedule your inital consultation call and receive private messenger access. If self led, you will simply access the program and start with the welcome section for instructions on how to navigate the program. At anytime you can contact Dr. Jones for further assistance and/or consultation call needs.
