Still struggling with core weakness, leaking, or pain—even YEARS after having kids?
If you’re 1, 3, or even 15+ years postpartum and still dealing with…
- The “Sneeze & Leak”: Avoiding jumping jacks or fearing a heavy cough.
- The “Heavy” Feeling: That nagging pelvic floor pressure or core instability.
- The “Mystery” Pains: Lingering back, hip, or knee issues that won’t quit.
- The Disconnect: Feeling like your body just doesn’t “belong” to you anymore.
It’s NOT just “part of being a mom.”
Most postpartum programs fail because they leave you stuck in “rehab mode” forever. They keep you trapped in a cycle of:
🚫 Boring, repetitive exercises lying on your back.
🚫 Millions of useless Kegels that don’t fix the root cause.
🚫 Generic “Mom Workouts” that never actually get you strong.
The Missing Piece: Why I Created Spice It Up School
I was tired of seeing moms—even a decade postpartum—told to “just do more Kegels” or settle for gentle movement.
That is not enough. To feel athletic again, you need a whole-body approach. You need to learn how to stack your ribcage, master your breathing, and move in all planes of motion.
Spice It Up School was built to take you from “fragile” to functional and fearless. You deserve to be strong, athletic, and pain-free—no matter how old your kids are.
The Protocol: Introducing The BBSS+ Protocol
I’m taking you from leaking when you sneeze and feeling “achy” to being a strong, athletic mom who is fully in control of her body.
By joining Spice It Up School, you aren’t just “working out”—you are implementing my proven BBSS+ Protocol. This is a whole-body approach designed to give your core and pelvic floor exactly what they need to thrive (not just for 12 weeks, but for life).
What Makes Spice It Up School Different?
Most postpartum programs stop where we begin. They leave you stuck in “rehab” forever, never pushing you toward true athleticism.
| Most Programs… | Spice It Up School… |
| Stay “Gentle”: They don’t progress enough to make you actually strong. | Builds Athletes: We use Progressive Overload so you can finally lift heavy (and kids) with ease. |
| Only Focus on the Core: They ignore how the rest of your body moves. | The Whole-Body Shift: We look at your biomechanics—from how you stack your ribcage to how your hips shift. |
| Leave You on Your Own: You’re just a number in a DIY app. | True 1:1 Coaching: You get expert eyes on your movement inside a small, intimate group. |

It’s Time to Break Through & Feel Like Yourself Again
You’ve spent years (or maybe just months) feeling like your body is a project that’s never quite finished. You’ve been “careful,” you’ve been “gentle,” and you’ve been patient.
Now, it’s time to be strong.
Imagine what changes when you stop worrying about your pelvic floor and start focusing on your potential:
-
Lifting your kids (or heavy groceries) without a second thought about your back or “leaking.”
-
Running, jumping, and playing with a body that feels “stacked,” stable, and connected.
-
Walking into the gym with a plan that actually works, knowing exactly how to move for your body.
You aren’t just “fixing” a problem; you’re reclaiming your athleticism.
Join Spice It Up School & Transform How You Feel in 12 Weeks
It’s time to stop “managing” your symptoms and start building your strength.
- The 12-Week Athletic Blueprint: A step-by-step strength program that takes you from “gentle rehab” to high-performance movement. No more guesswork, just results.
- Expert 1:1 Coaching & Feedback: You aren’t doing this alone. You get my eyes on your form and direct support inside our small group, ensuring you move safely and effectively.
- The Biomechanical Edge: We use a whole-body approach—focusing on stacking, breathing, and hip shifting—to unlock the core strength and pelvic floor health you’ve been missing for years.

I started Spice It Up School in hopes of having a way to consistently strength train at home. The easy to follow app workouts helped me stay motivated. I could see the progress I was making as the exercises upgraded every few weeks. I immediately signed up for the follow up program because I wanted to continue my progress. My single leg strength, hip mobility and ability to manage impact are all improved!

I had what I would like to call a serendipitous encounter with a pelvic floor PT. Being a stay at home Mom without childcare I have always struggled to find time to make appointments for myself. I had begun to see yet another Pelvic Floor PT for help with postpartum leakage and when talking about limited availability to go in for appointments; she mentioned I might be interested in following Julie on instagram for some tips. After checking out her instagram page I immediately knew I had to become a client. I was lucky enough to grab a spot in her “Spice it up School” that was starting and truly feel that was the best thing I have done for myself. Not only was I able to complete all the workouts, coaching sessions and group sessions online, I have completely transformed my body and mind. Julie’s programs are a whole body approach to correcting any pelvic floor issues and getting your body in alignment. I feel stronger, more confident and after years of urinary leakage, I can happily say it has decreased tremendously! My only complaint is that the program wasn’t long enough as working with Julie has become my favorite thing to do! She is a very special person and I feel so lucky to have found her.
Spice it up school was just what I needed! After having gone to a pelvic floor physical therapist for 20+ sessions I started to realize I was ready for more but I wasn’t sure how to bridge that gap. After recovering from a 3.5 finger diastases recti separation, diagnosed with stage 2 prolapse, and finding out I am hyper mobile I needed help. How do I go from PT exercises back to my more normal routine ( normal for me is more hitt crossfit style (Streetparking IYKYK) plus I needed to start working toward being fit to take the new Army ACFT. Spice it up and now on to spice it up grad school has been a life savor! I feel more confident in my body and movements and when I’m not 100% sure I’m doing it right I take a quick video and Juile is right there letting me know what I am doing right and where I can make some adjustments. Also I had no idea how stuck my rib cage was and how focusing on the breath would make a world of difference. So if you’re on the fence, thinking about doing it, do yourself a favor and dedicate 12 weeks to you, it is worth it. Consistency is key always strive for “something” over nothing.
When I do a workout program, they usually involve pretty tough and strenuous workouts, but over time they are tough to stick to and I often get discomfort like knee or back pain. This program was so good because it took a more methodical and slightly slower approach for me to help focus on how to properly use and align my body in different movements, so I was able to build strength while feeling really good. Everything together, the breathing exercises and strength exercises all helped me increase range of motion as well which is so important. I’m a person who tends to be very tight and tense and so this program was so helpful in opening up and releasing some of that tension in my body. I also haven’t had any low back pain during long walks with my dog, which I used to always get! I will definitely be taking all the things I’ve learned in this program and continue to incorporate them into future workouts and build on what I gained!
Who Is Spice It Up School For:
This is for the mom who is ready to move past “gentle” and get back to “strong.”
-
The “Veteran” Mom: Whether you are 3 months or 15+ years out, you’re ready to finally fix the leaking, heaviness, or “pooch” that hasn’t gone away.
-
The Efficient Athlete: You don’t have 2 hours for the gym. You want smart, evidence-based workouts that maximize your results in 45 minutes.
-
The Problem-Solver: You’re dealing with Prolapse, Diastasis Recti, or chronic aches, and you’re done with “random” Instagram workouts. You want a proven system.
-
The Future-Proofer: You want to stay active and athletic as you age, building a foundation that supports your body for the long haul.
Who Is Spice It Up School NOT For:
-
The “Quick Fix” Hunter: If you’re looking for a magic pill or a 7-day “flat tummy” challenge, this isn’t it. We do the real work of rebuilding biomechanics.
-
The “No Pain, No Gain” Mindset: This isn’t about grinding yourself into the floor. It’s about progressive, smart loading. If you want to leave every workout feeling “destroyed,” this isn’t your program.
-
The Aesthetic-Only Focus: While your body will change, our goal is function. If you don’t care about how your pelvic floor or core actually functions, you won’t appreciate the “Spice It Up” method.
I had 5 children in 10 years. During those 10 years I have participated in physical therapy, athletic training, and a number of post-partum workout programs. While all of those were somewhat helpful, nothing helped me to return to the athletic activities that I was engaging in prior to having kids. After 10 years I was beginning to lose hope that I’d ever be able to be athletic again. I knew I needed to exercise to improve my health outcomes, but the pain I had in my back and hip made it impossible to do hardly anything physical. The progression of exercises in Spice it Up School helped address the issues I was experiencing after having 5 children, while also progressively challenging me to increase strength. After this program I am feeling stronger and have less pain that limits my engagement in life activities. I could never have gotten to this place on my own, the exercises that were provided are unique and specifically designed to meet the needs of post-partum women. Julie was supportive throughout the program and able to answer questions throughout. I’m looking forward to continuing on my journey to return to my previous athletic activities, and I’m much more optimistic that those activities are possible after Spice it Up School.
At nearly 60 years old, decades post-partum, and a “victim” of POP surgery, I started Spice It Up School with a mindset of fear. Fearful I might injure myself? Fearful I might be wasting my money? Yet the fear of never being able to lift a grandchild, manage my own overstuffed suitcase at an airport, or becoming defenseless against osteoporosis was greater. Spice It Up School has eroded fears and has begun turning around the “I can’t” dialogue in my head to “I will”. I’m delighted by the improvement in my strength and I sleep so much better! It isn’t magic, I’m a work in progress, but the experience and gains have been magical. You enter the school with a cohort of students but work the program privately, with opportunities to join the cohort for educational meetings. This is not a DIY program, and I never felt on my own. Julie provides personalized and highly responsive feedback, in a space where I felt comfortable being vulnerable. I am so glad I made this investment in myself and grateful for how invested Julie is in helping me succeed. Thanks Julie!
This program has been a game changer for me. I’ve worked with multiple PTs and have tried several different programs to resolve my stress incontinence. I honestly thought I was a lost cause because nothing I tried made it better. However, after 12 weeks of Spice It Up School, my leaking significantly decreased. It hasn’t totally gone away, but the progress I have made has been a huge win for me and has helped me mentally because I know I’m finally headed in the right direction!

I decided to do Spice it Up School because as a 40+ mom with littles, I don’t feel as good in my body and my abilities as I used to. I knew I needed a change and needed to learn more about supporting my joints, posture, etc as I focus more on longevity. The program was great. It was well structured, easy to follow, and Julie was available for questions anytime I needed guidance. I learned a lot of new exercises that I can take forward in my fitness journey. I feel strong! I also feel more confident in executing certain exercises in a more effective way. I also understand the importance of our breathing! On top of all of this, I LOVED the few times a week that I got to get outdoors and walk. This was something I was missing and having the little nudge from this program was just what I needed.

I didn’t know how much I needed this program! I had worked with Julie 4 years ago after my second child to rehab my body, and had returned to cardio and strength training on my own after that. I joined this program to have some accountability in my workouts, but it gave me so much more! Thanks to Julie, I’ve learned about my body and how to get the best out of my workouts. With this program and some adjustments to my form, the glute pain that I have had for YEARS, is gone. If/when the pain does come back, I know what I need to do. The strength I’ve built in this program even helped my running feel better. I am looking forward to what the next phase of this program brings!
Frequently Asked Questions

Moms who are 3+ months to years postpartum (even if you are 10+ years postpartum!) who want to get stronger, heal their core and pelvic floor or set their pelvic floor up for great years ahead, and feel athletic again.
You are ready to take care of YOU and intentionally strengthen your body to create changes that last. You are NOT looking for a quick fix but want to get to know your body and how to support it for YEARS to come.

You understand that healing and strengthening your body after kids is a process and you value education and support from a qualified Postpartum Fitness Coach and Strength Coach.
How long do workouts take? I don’t have much time.
I know you’re a busy mom?! This is why I have designed all the workouts to take around 40-45 min each from warmup to cooldown. I have chosen exercises that will give you the most bang for your buck so you can be efficient and get the results that you want in the shortest amount of time.
"How do I know this is going to work for me?"
I have worked hard to design the best progressive strength program that will also help you improve your core and pelvic floor health.
The results from past members were amazing and I am confident you will have many wins as well.
I have included educational videos to help you understand your postpartum body and its special considerations. I have also included 2 LIVE group calls where we will be covering additional education and practicing exercises together. There will be a call with a Pelvic Floor Therapist to have the opportunity to ask all your pelvic floor questions to an expert.
In addition, you will get an individualized exercise prescription of 2-3 specific exercises to address your current limitations based on a movement assessment.
I have put in place ALL the things that you need to succeed with this program. I have no doubt you will gain immense value from our time together and you will feel stronger inside and out.
While I cannot guarantee you will completely heal your core or pelvic floor, I can say with confidence that you will see improvement in your symptoms.
What equipment do I need to complete the workouts?
The workouts are designed to be completed at home or the gym with minimal equipment. You will need 1-2 resistance bands with handles (lighter and heavier resistance), a superband (0.5 to 1 in thick), 2-3 sets of dumbbells (light, medium, and heavier weight for you recommended), yoga blocks, and 2 foam exercise wedges (about 12 in or you can use thick books instead). You can check out this equipment list and a few other “nice-to-have” for your home gym here.
When do the LIVE group calls take place?
The LIVE group calls will be held on Monday, March 16th and Thursday, June 4th at 7pm EST/4pm PST on Zoom. I try to accommodate as many time zones as possible.
I know you’re busy! If you cannot attend live, I will be emailing you the recording right after the call so you can watch it at your own convenience.
The LIVE group call with a Pelvic Floor Therapist is TBD and a recording will be available.
Are the workouts safe for pelvic organ prolapse, leaking, or diastasis recti?
Yes! I am staying up to date with all the recent research on diastasis recti and pelvic floor health. Spice It Up School is backed up by MANY Pelvic Floor Therapists who went through the program in the first 5 rounds. I have incorporated loads of educational videos and exercises into Spice It Up School that will help strengthen your core and manage your pelvic floor symptoms better. This program is also designed to safely progress over time and includes options for modifications if needed. The beauty of Spice It Up School is that we can communicate in the App throughout the program to help you navigate your symptoms and offer you personalized modifications if needed.
Can I workout on different days then when the workouts are programmed in the App?
Absolutely! You have full control over which days you will be completing the workouts so that it fits your busy schedule. For consistency, I have programmed the workouts in the App on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but you can complete them whenever is best for you!
What if I miss a workout or a week?
I get it! Life happens…sickness, busy schedules etc. To be honest, you’ll probably miss a workout or 2 during the 12-week program. I encourage you to not feel bad about it and give yourself some grace. Simply get back to the program as soon as you are able to. The nice thing about Spice It Up School is that you do have access to me for coaching in the App and so you will feel some level of accountability throughout the program.
When are you going to run Spice It Up School again?
I am not sure exactly when I will be running Spice It Up School again but it won’t be until the Fall of 2026 if I do.
I have never really done strength training in the past. Is this program still for me?
Yes! You do not need to have a history of lifting weights to complete and be successful at this program. You can start with bodyweight and graduate to dumbbells along the way. All the exercises have video demos with coaching and cueing to help you get the most out of the exercises. You also have access to me in the App to ask questions, get feedback, or if you need a modification.
How long will I have access to the program?
You will have access to the program for 12 weeks and since I know life happens (insert sick kids, vacation etc.), I will add an extra 2 weeks at the end for you to complete the program if you haven’t already.
I am 20 years postpartum...is it too late for me to do this program?
NO! Once postpartum, always postpartum! It is never too late to work on strength and core and pelvic health. In fact, we lose bone density and strength as we get older so it’s even more important to stay strong as we age. In addition, you’ll be less likely to have pelvic floor issues when perimenopause and menopause hit. We’ve had many moms 15-20 years postpartum going through the program and they had great success!
What's your refund policy?
I have no doubt you will learn a ton during Spice It Up School, get stronger, and improve how you feel and move in general. While I cannot guarantee you will completely heal your core or pelvic floor, I can say with confidence that you will see improvement in your symptoms.
If you feel like you didn’t learn anything, haven’t gained any strength, or think that this program wasn’t worth your time, I will give you a complete refund.
Who do I contact if I still have questions?
You can contact Julie at julie@strongbodystrongmama.com if you have any questions about Spice It Up School.
