How We Give Back

The Postpartum Healing Program began as a way to bring care to postpartum women around the world at a price point more accessible than our personalized care model. We have felt so much joy in providing this crucial support to so many that we’re now taking this even deeper and providing full access to our digital program, at no cost, to those who cannot afford it. We’ve chosen to work with charities that support and advocate for women during pregnancy and labor and delivery to offer our membership to their clients and patients for continued care in the postpartum period. If you’re a charity that is providing pregnancy labor and delivery support, please feel free to reach out to us at info@erikabloom.com, to become one of our charitable partners. We would love to offer our support.Thank you to our community of paying members for taking part in this wonderful act of giving and including us in your postpartum journeys. Charities we are proud to work with:
Changing Woman Initiative
Mama Sana Vibrant Women
Chicago Volunteer Doulas

FAQ

What is diastasis recti?

Diastasis recti is the separation of the two sides of the rectus abdominis at the linea alba, the fascial connection in the center of the abdomen. The majority, about two-thirds, of women have diastasis recti postpartum. It affects both the appearance of the abdominals, and the functionality of the pelvic floor, deep core, back muscles, organs, respiratory diaphragm and alignment of the entire body. It can lead to serious digestive issues, back pain, neck pain, pelvic floor dysfunction and prolapse. With the birth of her first child, Erika had a large diastasis which she discovered she could self-heal. She learned the most important exercise you can do to heal this separation is to learn how to breathe with your diaphragm, connecting to your pelvic floor and transversus abdominis. In our Postpartum Membership, you’ll learn diastasis safe, therapeutic movements and breath work to restore your core connection, tone deep core muscles, improve posture, and heal diastasis. Erika Bloom Method based movement therapy is beneficial for all mothers, at any stage of their postpartum journey, to create a deeper connection with body and breath.

Where can I find pilates for pregnancy? Is it safe to practice prenatal pilates?

Due to the individualized nature of each woman’s pregnancy and the deep importance of doing safe and beneficial work during pregnancy, we recommend connecting with one of our expert’s for private prenatal sessions during your pregnancy. This allows you to ensure you are moving correctly to avoid diastasis, to keep you and your baby healthy, and to prepare you for a joyful labor and postpartum recovery. All of our Erika Bloom instructors are prenatal certified. Erika, a mother of two and postpartum recovery expert, truly believes in investing in private sessions during pregnancy.
