Read MoreThis course is extremely beneficial for all fitness professionals, but most importantly those who work with pregnant and postpartum women. This gave in depth information on how to teach clients how to work on the female core and pelvic floor. Dr. Holzmann is exceptionally knowledgeable and willing to go above and beyond for her patients, fitness class participants, and students in her course.

Read MoreI took this course to help me coach pregnant and postpartum athletes. Addie shares a wealth of information that I’ve been able to apply in class. I use cues and adjustments I’ve learned from this course regularly. I have also had clients complete this course for themselves and it’s helped empower them throughout the pregnancy and postpartum period. Addie breaks it all down!! I’d recommend to any mother or any fitness professionals working with pregnant and postpartum athletes!

Read MoreI have written a review on how awesome this course is for women in general but from an instructor point of view this class is invaluable. I have learned to use and heal my own body through this course and in turn can teach my clients how to do the same. Addie is great at giving so many amazing examples to use on ourselves and clients. She is always so helpful when I reach out with questions about clients too. Do yourself a favor and take this course to become a better coach for all of your clients.

Read MoreThis course is the most comprehensive and detailed postpartum course you will find. Addie goes above and beyond with her explanations as she truly wants you to understand the "why" behind everything she teaches. I am a physical therapist and mother myself and was blown away by all of the goodies she fit into this course - she makes complex topics so easy to understand. This course is SO MUCH MORE than just kegels and crunches (which is typically all you see in a postpartum program). In my opinion, this course is worth WAY more than I paid for it. I recommend it to all of my mama friends. I promise you that you will not regret purchasing this course. I will say it again, there isn't a better course out there to help you learn about your body and help you to achieve whatever goals you have!

Read MoreTo Birth & Back provides fitness professionals with a wealth of information to better assist female clients along their pregnancy and postpartum journeys. After taking this course, I have totally restructured how I teach my classes by offering better exercise modifications and mindful breathing practices. Safely improving core strength and restoring pelvic floor function are key lessons applied throughout the course - it is a MUST for any fitness professional teaching the newly pregnant or postpartum athlete.

Read MoreAddie explains anatomy, movement and function in a way that movement professionals can understand and directly apply in coaching postpartum women. Her detailed course material helps us understand the changes that take place during pregnancy and postpartum chapters. With this understanding, we are better equipped to coach mamas when they show up at class ready to workout. I love how the course material can be applied to a wide range of mama athletes, whether they are a few weeks or 5 years postpartum. After completing the course, I feel confident in coaching women (in all stages of motherhood) through a workout.
