I am so happy I made the leap to join the Beyond Birthing program. When things did not go as I wished in my birthing plan, Sophie was there to coach me through it. I’m now inspired to be stronger postpartum than I was before pregnancy.

Four months postpartum, I’ve reintroduced all the activities I was doing before — skiing, mountain biking, hiking, running. The program gave me the tools to cope with whatever situation I found myself in, even when things didn’t go exactly how I wanted. And postpartum, having those guardrails — week one here’s what you can do, week two here’s what you can do — instead of just trying to navigate the world of information online. I think I might have gone too hard or tried to do things too quickly without it.

My birth plan didn’t go according to plan, but because I had the education and tools from the program, I navigated the changes without becoming overwhelmed. When they asked me to slow down during pushing, I knew exactly what to do — and I think that really avoided more tearing. At five weeks postpartum, I’m out for walks and carrying my baby without getting sore. I definitely credit that to the Beyond Birthing program.

I had an emergency C-section under general anesthesia — things did not go as planned at all. But I followed the program to a T, and at 18 weeks postpartum I feel pretty much back to normal. The Beyond Birthing program prepared me to advocate for myself, make informed decisions under pressure, and know exactly what to do for my recovery. I don’t think that’s something you can prepare for unless you have the right tools going in.

I ask a lot of my body — the year before giving birth I was training for a half marathon and a CrossFit competition. Five months postpartum, I’ve gone back to essentially every activity with no symptoms. My pelvic floor and core are as strong or stronger than before. I definitely credit that to the Beyond Birthing program.

I had very little tearing despite some challenges during the final pushing stage — I am 100% sure that’s because of the preparation we did through the program. Seven and a half months postpartum, I’m back to yoga and long walks with no issues whatsoever. The results speak for themselves.

My postpartum #2 was a complete 180. All those exercises I did in the course paid off — I know that’s why my pelvic floor didn’t feel so heavy and I didn’t have as much pain as after my first. Three months postpartum, my body feels great. It literally is life changing.

After a traumatic first birth, I was terrified of going through it again. After working with Sophie in her Signature Program, my second birth was four pushes, no pain medication, and I was showering 20 minutes later. I felt like I could run a marathon right after birth.

I had no tear when I gave birth and was back to running after three months. My partner and I practiced the exercises together and used them during birth. I’m highly confident the program made a huge difference.

Not all hospitals have the best, latest practices — so having access to evidence-based information from the program really made a huge difference. If you cannot advocate for yourself and you cannot prepare, you can end up in a rough spot unnecessarily. Even with an emergency C-section, I’m really happy to have understood everything that was going on and had the tools to manage the pain during labour.

I only had superficial tearing — I felt really fortunate. My husband felt so much more involved than he anticipated and now tells his buddies with pregnant wives: you need to check out Beyond Birthing’s Program. At 6 months postpartum, I’m 100% back to cross-country skiing, biking and HIIT workouts.

I went into pregnancy terrified I’d end up like the women in my family who never recovered. Working with Sophie in her Signature Program gave me the knowledge, the techniques, and the confidence I needed. Eight weeks postpartum, all my symptoms are gone and I’m back to everything I did before.

I spent about the same amount on your courses as I did on pelvic physios after my first daughter was born. In-person appointments — there was only so much I could absorb each time. I get way more knowledge from your course. You can’t even compare. I never pictured myself as being this confident postpartum in my own body. That has made a world of difference.

My birth was very quick — which I feel had to do with preparing my body. I did have a significant tear but within two months all symptoms were gone and my tear healed beautifully. At 6 months postpartum, I feel basically like I did prior to pregnancy — no bladder, bowel, or prolapse symptoms, and back to running.
