We recommend starting during pregnancy with our bundled deal that includes both OPTimize Birth & OPTimize Postpartum so that you can prepare for birth AND be ready to start our Postpartum Guide on Week 1.
But if you are finding us after giving birth, you can still benefit from the information if you are within the first 6 months postpartum. We recommend starting at Week 1 and skipping anything that feels irrelevant. *Spoiler alert: most subject matter will still be relevant.

This is certainly an option! And can compliment PT or OT services nicely. However, we’ve worked with countless mothers who weren’t able to stick with the recommended treatment plan from their PT/OT due to time and financial constraints.
Even if you do go through your insurance, there is often co-pays, deductibles, and surprise bills that make it challenging to continue.
Our goal is to provide you a comprehensive, preventive support for both you and baby so you don’t need to seek out a PT, OT or both. And if problems do arise or you find you need more support, you also have access to scheduling a virtual visit with our PT or OT - eliminating the need to arrange childcare or bring baby with you to appointments.
