Erin McCabe, Yoga Therapist, Certified Athletic Trainer and owner of Erin McCabe Wellness

Reconnect with your body after a C-section, or C-birth. Learn gentle self-massage and movement techniques, understand the anatomy of what happened, ease pain and tension, and explore the mental and emotional aspects of healing. Leave with a simple home routine and resources to support your recovery — all in a supportive, discussion-friendly environment.

This workshop is for anyone post C-section who has been cleared by their OB or midwife and is ready to reconnect with their abdomen. For all levels, we all deserve guidance after this major abdominal surgery.

We’ll cover:

  • C-section anatomy and how it affects your body
  • The psychology of recovery and resources for support
  • Why you may have back, pelvic, or abdominal pain
  • What is a C-section shelf and why might your abdomen look different now
  • Self-massage and gentle movement techniques for healing
  • A short 5-minute routine for home care

Erin is a yoga therapist and athletic trainer with over 15 years of experience. She has had 2 C-births and believes this surgery should get as much rehab support as any other surgery.
