Rebuild a body you can trust for the life you are in now.

Returning to exercise after having kids, navigating an injury, or simply unsure what your body is ready for next?

I help women understand where they are, rebuild strength, and progress with purpose.

Know where you are.
Train what you can tolerate.
Build capacity.

This fall, I’m bringing that approach to REBUILD: a six-week postpartum Reformer Pilates series designed to help women progressively rebuild core, back, hip, and glute strength after pregnancy and birth.

CLEARED TO EXERCISE… BUT NOT SURE WHAT COMES NEXT?

You had the postpartum checkup.

You’ve been cleared to exercise.

But maybe your core still feels different.


Your back doesn’t feel as strong as it used to.


Planks don’t feel great yet.


Carrying the baby is harder than expected.


Or you simply don’t know how to get from “cleared” back to regular workouts.

You don’t need more motivation. You need a progression that works for your body now.

REBUILD gives you six weeks to progressively strengthen your core, back, hips, and glutes while learning how to move forward with more confidence.

REBUILD

Postpartum Core + Back Strength

A progressive six-week Reformer Pilates series designed to help postpartum women rebuild strength and confidence after pregnancy and birth.

Inside REBUILD, we’ll work on:

✓ Deep core + pelvic-floor coordination
✓ Plank progressions
✓ Back, hip + glute strength
✓ Strength for lifting and carrying
✓ Strategies for returning to exercise progressively
✓ Movement for the everyday demands of motherhood

HOW WE REBUILD

1. KNOW WHERE YOU ARE

Understand what your body can comfortably do today.

2. TRAIN WHAT YOU CAN TOLERATE

Use appropriate variations and progressions instead of forcing exercises that aren’t working yet.

3. BUILD CAPACITY

Progress strength, control, endurance, and confidence for everyday motherhood and exercise.

Inside the program, I’m developing progressions such as Plank Ready — helping women gradually build the core capacity needed for more challenging Pilates exercises.

The goal isn’t to get your old body back.

It’s to build a body you can trust for the life you’re living now.

Hey, I’m Holly,

physical therapist & pilates teacher

After more than 20 years as a physical therapist, I’ve noticed something important:

Most women aren’t struggling because they lack motivation or aren’t working hard enough. They’re often following programs that skip a critical first step: understanding what their body needs now.

My approach starts there — know where you are, train what you can tolerate, and build capacity step by step.

I combine physical therapy, Pilates, and decades of movement experience to help women stop guessing, rebuild strength, and move forward with more confidence.

No generic plans. No forcing your body to keep up. Just intelligent progression designed for the life you’re living now.

Intelligent movement. Clear progression. Strength for real life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What questions still come up? I've Got Answers.

Who is REBUILD for?

REBUILD is for postpartum women who have been cleared to return to exercise but don’t yet feel as strong, supported, or confident as they’d like.

It’s especially helpful if your core or back feels different, you’re unsure how to progress your workouts, or you want more strength for lifting, carrying, stairs, Pilates, running, and the everyday demands of motherhood.

How far postpartum do I need to be?

You should be at least 6 weeks postpartum and cleared by your healthcare provider to return to exercise.

Do I need to have completed pelvic-floor PT first?

If you are comfortable exercising and have been cleared to return to activity, you may be a good fit. If you have pelvic-floor symptoms or concerns that would benefit from individualized assessment, pelvic PT may be recommended before or alongside the program. Email Holly with any questions at [email protected]

What if I have leaking, pressure, or pelvic-floor symptoms?

These symptoms are worth paying attention to.

Mild symptoms do not automatically mean you cannot exercise, but leaking, pelvic pressure or heaviness, pain, or symptoms that worsen with activity may be a sign that an individualized pelvic-floor assessment would be helpful.

REBUILD includes pelvic-floor-aware movement and pressure-management strategies, but it does not replace individualized pelvic-floor physical therapy.

What if my back hurts?

REBUILD is designed to build core, hip, glute, and back strength progressively, and exercises can be modified based on what your body tolerates.

If your back pain is significant, worsening, limiting your daily activity, or needs more individualized evaluation, 1:1 physical therapy may be a better starting point.

The goal is not to force your way through pain—it’s to find an appropriate starting point and build from there.

Do I need Pilates experience?

Not at all.

REBUILD is designed to meet you where you are. You’ll learn the movements and progressions step by step, so previous Pilates or Reformer experience is not required.

What if planks don’t feel good yet?

That’s okay—and actually one of the reasons REBUILD exists.

You do not need to be “plank ready” on day one. We build toward more challenging core work through progressive exercises that help develop strength, control, and capacity.

The goal isn’t to force a perfect plank. The goal is to help your body become stronger for the things you want and need to do.

What happens if I need more individualized care?

If it becomes clear that you need more individualized assessment or treatment, we’ll talk about the best next step.

That may include 1:1 physical therapy/Pilates with Holly, pelvic-floor physical therapy, or another appropriate healthcare provider depending on your needs.

REBUILD is a group strength and movement program—not a substitute for individualized medical care.

What is the best way to get started with Holly?

Begin with a complimentary 20-minute virtual movement consultation. We’ll discuss what is going on, what you have tried, and what you want to do next. From there, we can decide whether private PT & Pilates or other provider is your next best step. Holly currently has a waiting list for fall 2026.

What is included in the initial evaluation?

Your 60-minute evaluation includes a detailed review of your history, symptoms, goals, strength, mobility, and movement patterns. You will leave with a clearer understanding of your starting point and a treatment plan with recommendations for moving forward and getting results.

Does Holly offer virtual treatment and Pilates training?

Yes. Virtual assessment and coaching are available outside of Utah and are training focused only. Holly is licensed to practice Physical Therapy in Utah only and can treat you in person or virtually in Utah. She has limited private in-person sessions offered in Sandy, Utah following an initial consultation.

How do I know whether I need physical therapy, Pilates, or strength training?

You do not need to decide that on your own. Holly combines physical therapy, Pilates, and strength training based on your history, current capacity, symptoms, and goals.

What injuries and conditions does Holly treat?

Holly commonly treats orthopaedic injuries like back, neck, hip, knee, and shoulder pain; arthritis and age-related joint changes; muscle and tendon injuries; balance and falls prevention; weakness or de-conditioning; loves working with pre and postnatal mamas, and those struggling with returning to exercise after surgery and chronic conditions that require extra attention and care.

She treats the whole person with a comprehensive assessment and treatment plan. She is certified in dry needling, uses effective manual techniques, pain reflex release strategies and advanced pain education, pilates for rehabilitation and nervous system training to help you achieve your goals.

Your initial consultation and evaluation will help determine whether Holly’s services are appropriate or whether another provider would be a better fit.

What are Holly's current rates?

Holly is an out of network provider and is a cash based private practice.

As of May 1, 2026

The initial 60-minute evaluation is $200, in person and virtually.

Memberships range from $350-600 per month (based on 2-4 x month), and

a 10-session package is available at $150 per session valid for 3 months.

The best option will depend on the level and frequency of support you need.
