mamalates is OB/GYN recommended!

Wendy Foster's innovative mamalates mom+babe program allows new moms to focus on reorganizing the pelvic floor and abdominals, where muscles are stretched and often injured in both vaginal and cesarean deliveries. This program not only can help prevent future lower back pain, pelvic floor pain, pelvic floor prolapse and incontinence, but allows moms to start feeling back in touch with their bodies without having to give up time with their infants. It should be one of the first exercise programs that all new moms should start with, no matter what shape they were in prior to delivery.

"Wendy is innovative, knowledgable, and really knows how to whip those postpartum abs into shape! She is a forerunner in her field, coming up with the concept of Mamalates and developing it into her own DVD program. She has a special program for moms who deliver via cesarean, and has a heart for helping moms achieve wellness in their body (and especially the pelvic floor) after birth! "

"Being a new mom and a movement educator, I wanted my body to return
to my pre-pregnancy state as soon as possible. The more I learned
about how pregnancy and labor had affected my body, the more I
realized I needed guidance and intelligent exercises to aid my
recovery. Many of us don't realize that the kind of exercise we do
postpartum can adversely affect our recovery process. Wendy's class
provided just what I needed: sound postpartum exercise, information,
and advice. All of this and I didn't have to find childcare for my
son. "
