What other Moms are saying...


"I am an RN, childbirth educator, and mother of 5 and had never learned much about diastasis recti until after the birth of baby #5 when I found myself struggling with weak postpartum core muscle strength and abdominal separation. I used the FITsplint in conjuction with the exercises in the 6-week ReCORE program and feel like the combination was incredibly helpful! While I exercise regularly, I'll admit that I have neglected focusing on my core muscles over the years. The ReCORE program taught me how to identify and strengthen specific muscles groups, like my transverse abdominals, which ultimately helped to close the separation. Wearing the belt while I did the exercises was incredibly helpful because I could feel it tighten up when I tensed the correct muscles, so it helped reinforce when I was doing the exercises correctly. I've recommended this belt and ReCORE program to my family and clients -- LOVE IT!" - Katie Griffin

"I was your client over a year ago- my son is now 17 months. This is my second baby and I struggled with a separation of 1-2 inches after my first child. Using your program was THE TICKET! It got my inner core solid and my split is now consistently .5-1.5 at most. The best part is now I am very conscious of my core and sure to do inner strengthening just as much as outer. Thank you for your program!" - Heidi Smith, Health & Wellness Coach, Triathlete

"Thanks so much Celeste! I'm so happy I found you on the internet. Using the FITsplint throughout my pregnancy helped me protect my abs and feel more stable as I exercised. After finishing ReCORE at 10 weeks post partum, my abs look and feel stronger. I feel more confident returning to exercising the correct way!" -A.A. from Orange County, CA

"The [ReCORE] program was the perfect way to get my core strength back! It had been 3 years since my last pregnancy so I was surprised at how quickly my diastasis recti closed up. The exercises were challenging and extremely effective. With the help of the instructional videos I never felt like I didn't know how to do an exercise properly and Celeste was always super supportive and motivating. I will definitely be recommending MomBod Fitness to my friends and family."
-Stefanie, West Richland WA

"I thoroughly enjoyed your program and definitely gained strength and function!  I also loved the FITsplint. It was so comfortable that I felt better wearing it than not wearing it. I especially love using it while I exercise." - ReCORE Client


"I started doing the ReCORE program about 2 months after our daughter was born, and I couldn't believe how weak I was! I worked hard on the exercises every day and noticed improvements in my strength within the first few days! I was experiencing some discomfort in my hips and pubic symphysis, but as I got stronger doing the ReCORE program, my strength and stability increased! I was so excited to be able to run and walk without major discomfort! I couldn't believe what a difference the ReCORE program made in decreasing my low back pain and helping keep my hips from shifting and causing me more pain. I have a good knowledge of the human anatomy and muscles of the core, as well as injury identification and prevention as a Certified Athletic Trainer. As a sports medical professional, I've helped athletes restabilize their core muscles and decrease low back pain. But, I've never had to start with the very basic exercises needed for someone who had just had a baby and had all their abdominal muscles and tissue stretched and weakened! This was truly an eye-opening experience, and I'm so glad that I worked with Celeste on building on the basics of my strength before I tried any of the more advanced and difficult exercises I know from treating athletes. Celeste was amazing to work with- incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, professional, helpful when I had questions that needed to be answered and attentive to my personal needs in where I was in my healing and strengthening process. I feel I'm much stronger, more stable, and more knowledgeable since I have done ReCORE! I feel like this experience makes me a better Certified Athletic Trainer, a better runner, and a better mommy!" 
-Mary, Athletic Trainer, NJ 

"I really liked this program! And, am SO GLAD I did it!" - Amanda, ReCORE Client


"I will say I tried [a popular] program three different times and my diastasis never improved, so I'm very pleased it got a little smaller this time. And I also thought your exercises were easy to incorporate into my life (as opposed to programs with tons of reps). The FITsplint was the best of all the splints I've tried, and I've tried them all. Overall, really pleased with the program. As I said, I wasn't expecting my diastasis to get any smaller, so was pleasantly surprised to get it down." -Online client progress after just 6 weeks


"I feel stronger all the time, and honestly, I can't remember when my back felt this good, even before I ever had kids! I saw my chiropractor on Thursday and he said that for the first time in, maybe ever, he didn't have to adjust my lower back because it had held its adjustment. Amazing!" 
-Justine, online client

"I am SO PLEASED with how much it has improved my core. It's pretty insane that I've probably never used my core 'properly' until this program, the exercises and the foundation really helped my body figure out how to put itself back together (literally!) can't wait to keep using these exercises and implement a more intense workout regimen with a great foundation. Thank you so much!! I'm recommending it to every pregnant or postpartum person I know. - Julia, online ReCORE client 

"I have loved the ReCORE program.  I can tell a huge difference and I feel stronger and slimmer.  I was able to do the workouts at least 5 times a week, each week and felt that they were challenging.  The FITsplint was amazing.  I felt a difference right away. The program was laid out perfectly. Thank you so much for this program!" -Malinda, Mom of 4, TX

Stress Incontinence or Prolapse Issues

"This [ReCORE] program was just what I needed physically and mentally. I started with a 3 finger separation all the way down, and was experiencing discomfort due to pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress incontinence. By the end, my separation had gone down to a 2-2-1, my waist measured 4" smaller, and the POP and stress incontinence were no longer an issue. As a result, my confidence and a healthy self-image returned. I would recommend this program to anyone in a heartbeat!" 
-Corrie, Hainesville AL

"I definitely have increased core strength and function. No stress incontinence. Heavy feeling in pelvis is gone. My posture is so much better and my shoulders are now back and not hunched forward. And no lower back pain. I feel so much stronger and more stable when doing lunges and squats. I thoroughly enjoyed your program and definitely gained strength and function!  I also loved the FITsplint. It was so comfortable that I felt better wearing it than not wearing it. I especially love using it while I exercise." - Sabrina, ReCORE Client

After C-Sections

"After I had my twins (boys #3 & 4) I was extremely stretched out.  The babies were over 12 pounds together and to top it off I had an emergency C-section.  I was very bothered by the way my stomach was still sticking out after a month, but even more than that, my back hurt all the time.  I had been wearing an abdominal binder since delivery, but it wasn't helping.  I found Celeste through a friend who also has twins and got started on the ReCORE program at 4 weeks post partum.  At my first consultation I was so separated and weak that I couldn't feel anything when I tried to engage my abs and I could fit my whole fist between the muscles.  I wore the FITsplint all the time and fit sets of the exercises in between feedings and within a few days I could feel things starting to wake up.  I saw results almost immediately and that kept me motivated to keep it up.  Just having defined sets of exercise made it seem doable, even with the constant care needed by colicky twins.  After finishing the program, my abs are closing up very well and my back doesn't ache all the time, even when I have to hold my two little chunky babies a lot.  I'm so excited to get back to my routine and know that I have the knowledge I'll need to keep getting stronger instead of doing exercises that could make things worse.  I recommend ReCORE to all my friends who are pregnant or have lingering separation." - Bethany, TN



"After 4 kids and 3 c-sections I felt like I had no abdominal strength at all.  Ive always been a strict gym goer and it was frustrating that even crunches did not seem to exercise my abdominals and give me strength.  After completing the 6 week ReCORE reconditioning program I am happy to say that I can feel my abdominal muscles!  Not only can I feel them but I can see them!  I am so much more aware of my core and when I am using it.  I find myself engaging my core many times through out the day; when I put my baby in the carseat, when I do push ups or other weight exercises in the gym.  I love the wide variety of abdominal exercises and the increase in difficulty."
-Sarah, Pleasant Grove UT

"I’m a mom of 5. Three of my children are 14 months apart and I was over 40 for three of them as well. Each of my kids was around 10 pounds at birth, and I carried extra fluid – needless to say, my never-in-great-shape abdominal muscles were worse for wear after the experience. Before having children, I made my living as a singer and with the damage done to my abdominal muscles, I found my breath control and support greatly diminished. It was also discouraging to find simply sitting up in bed an incredibly ungainly experience. I felt like a tuna flopping around on the deck of a ship. I also became concerned about my future ability to maintain continence. Celeste designed an exercise routine [ReCORE] for me and my specific needs. I was apprehensive about even the simplest exercises, but found during the course of the week, my ability grew. How exciting to see what had at first been incredibly difficult become routine. It was exciting to feel more power stronger each week. For the first time in years, I had a waist. I could actually wear a belt and have it sit where it was supposed to. That was the most exciting of all. I don’t know whether it was the exercises or the FITsplint or the combination of the two which allowed my muscles to come closer together, but I definitely felt the improvement in my singing, which allowed me to successfully complete my first full length recital in a long time and begin auditioning for professional opportunities again. Celeste’s program works even for us older women who weren’t much for physical fitness in our younger years. I’m most grateful! "  
-Suzanne, Boise ID
"I feel so much stronger after completing the ReCORE program and have seen incredible progress on closing my diastasis. I didn't know whether a weekly regimen via email would provide enough support, but any questions I had were answered immediately. It was the perfect workout regimen for the early weeks of having a new baby and being able to start and stop a workout throughout the course of the day was the only way to fit it all in." 
- Amanda, online client 


"Celeste was great to work with.  She was able to give me clear directions and video demonstrations on specific exercises that would help close my diastasis recti.  She was encouraging to me and gave me support to help me stay motivated.  I made huge improvements on my diastasis recti and also lost 4" off my waistline.  I would highly recommend her [ReCORE] program."
-Hilary, Cincinnati OH


"The 6-week [ReCORE] program was definitely structured to fit me and my needs.  Celeste's videos were easy to understand and follow.  When I had questions or concerns, she was responsive, helpful, and encouraging."
-Emily, Cincinnati OH 

In-Home Clients

"I started working with Celeste at the end of last year.  I had a 2 1/2 finger width separation.  After 6 weeks of following her [ReCORE] program and wearing the splint religiously I dropped 4" around my waist and now fluctuate between totally closed and a separation of about 1 finger width.  I feel incredibly grateful to have met Celeste and have learned the techniques she has taught me.  I have surrounded myself with lots of information about health and fitness and yet everything she taught me was new.  It allowed me to gain control over an area of my body I thought I had little if any control over.  I now have tools I can implement for the rest of my life.  Thanks Celeste!"
-Jennifer, Johnstown OH

"Doctors and new moms all need to know that diastasis recti can be healed, closed, and managed without surgery! I saw two well respected doctors regarding my diastasis, and neither suggested exercise as a possibility to close the gap. The first doctor told me she would surgically put in a mesh, and the second, my ob-gyn, gave me referrals for plastic surgeons. I am so glad I found Celeste. After six weeks of wearing the FITsplint and following her ReCORE workout program I lost 2" in my waist and have begun closing the 3 finger gap at my navel. I can now get up and down to play on the floor with my boy without any of the previous pain and discomfort. I am determined to continue the program to close this for good so that I can inform my doctors and get this information out to new moms."
-Carol, Santa Monica CA   


"I had a wonderful experience with the [In-Home] ReCORE program using the FITsplint. Celeste was wonderful from my initial inquiry email through my six weeks. I saw results in just one week with my stomach shrinking in overall size. And I felt my core getting stronger each week. Celeste was great at tailoring the program to my fitness level and she challenged me physically without overwhelming me. She was very positive and encouraging and made it a fun experience. 
Even though sessions are only 30 minutes, you feel prepared and comfortable with each exercise for the week and Celeste is great at making herself available for any questions or reminders when needed. I would recommend this program to every woman and especially all of my friends that have had children. If finances allowed, I would train with Celeste 365 days a year!!! I am looking forward to taking another session in the near future and plan to purchase the Maternity FITsplint with my next pregnancy."
