Nobody here is going to tell you to bounce back.

Our fall prenatal and postnatal yoga classes start September 22 at The Nest in Dundas. Two six week sessions, one for pregnancy and one for after birth, both built around what your core, pelvic floor, hips and breath are doing right now.

PRENATAL YOGA with Nicole Smith Tuesdays, 7 to 8 PM. Sept 22 to Oct 27. Strength for birth, flexibility where your body needs it, and breathing you can use when things get intense. Six themed classes: core and pelvic floor, spinal alignment, hip opening and internal rotation, balance, baby positioning, and labour prep. No "just modify" here.

BODY AFTER BIRTH with Danielle Downey 🤍 Tuesdays, 10 to 11 AM. Sept 22 to Oct 27. A gentle postnatal class for new parents, and a place to reconnect with yourself, your body, and other parents. Six weeks of awareness, activation, strength and integration: finding your core, rib cage mobility and breath, legs and glutes, upper body strength and release, reconnecting with your feet, then bringing it all together in a complete postpartum practice.
Babies are free to be themselves and so are you. Feeding, wiggling, noise and needing you are all part of class. Come with your baby or come on your own. Danielle checks in with everyone and builds the class around how you are that day.

Babies of all stages are welcome. It tends to be easiest before they are crawling, and every baby is different. It is never too early or too late to join, and Danielle will be glad to see you. Bring a mat if you have one, plus a blanket and a toy. We can lend you all of it.

Both classes work on core and pelvic floor coordination instead of Kegels alone, hip and spine mobility for pregnancy and recovery, and breathing that supports your pelvic floor instead of bearing down on it. These are not flexibility classes. They are strength for what your body is doing.

You cannot see your kid’s school day. But you can read it backwards from what walks through the door at 3:30.

The water bottle comes home full. The backpack hits the floor and they sprint. The underwear is damp on Tuesday but never on Sunday. The stomach ache that disappears every Saturday.

Half of primary school children hold their bowel movement all day at school. The reasons are always the same: the washrooms are not clean, there is no privacy, and asking in front of the class is mortifying. So they wait six hours, five days a week.

Stool sits in the re**um and stretches it. A stretched re**um presses directly on the bladder, so the bladder holds less and signals later. That shows up as urgency, daytime wetting, bedwetting that came back, and UTIs that keep returning. The clinical name is bladder and bowel dysfunction, and constipation is usually driving it.

The one most families get wrong: soiled underwear in a fully trained child is overflow around impacted stool. Not laziness. Not defiance. Kids get in trouble for this constantly, and it is the thing they have least control over.

This is treatable, and it responds well. We assess bladder and bowel together, because treating the wetting without touching the bowel is why it keeps coming back.

Your body reacts to stress before your brain catches up. The jaw tightens, the breath goes shallow, and the pelvic floor grips without ever being asked to.

Most of us were never taught to notice any of that, and even fewer of us were taught what to do next.

On September 28 we are opening the Nest for an evening with two of our clinicians who come at this from opposite directions.

Liana Cross-Muller is an Art Therapist and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). Joanna Hermano is a Registered Physiotherapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.

Between them you will do a short art exercise designed to get you out of thinking mode and into feeling mode, learn what your nervous system is actually doing when it braces, and go home with three practical tools you can use that same night.

No art experience required. Nobody looks at your work.

Meet Emma Tawil, our newest Registered Physiotherapist. She starts with us September 1. 🫐

Emma is a McMaster grad twice over, with a Bachelor of Kinesiology in 2022 and a Master of Science in Physiotherapy in 2024. Since then she has worked in inpatient geriatric rehabilitation, outpatient musculoskeletal care, and pelvic health physiotherapy. That range means she is comfortable with bodies at every age and stage.

Emma is rostered with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario to perform internal pelvic examinations. If that sentence makes you nervous, know that her entire approach is built around making the appointment safe, supportive, and unhurried. You set the pace, always.

She treats the whole person instead of the diagnosis on the referral. Education, exercise, and hands-on therapy, built around the goals you choose.

Outside the clinic, Emma runs, takes pottery classes, and spends her time with friends and family.

She is booking Tuesdays and Thursdays starting September 1.

Welcome to the team, Emma. 🫐

Dr. Ashley Barker

One hundred episodes.

I need to say this plainly. There is no version of this show that exists without you. Not the first episode, not the hundredth, not one of them in between.

You listened in the car, in the shower, and folding laundry with one earbud in so nobody else could hear. You sent episodes to your sister, your best friend, and your mother who has been leaking since 1994 and calling it normal. You wrote to tell me you finally booked the appointment, and I have kept every single one of those messages.

You took a podcast about vaginas and bowels and made it something people say out loud. That was you. All of it was you.

Thank you for listening, for sharing it, and for trusting me with something this personal. I would not be here without you, and I know it.

Episode 100 is live now. Here is to the next hundred, with you.

New diastasis recti research just changed everything you were told after having a baby.

A note from our founder, Kristen Parise BSc MSc BHScPT.

For years, women were handed a number. Two finger widths. A list of movements to avoid. A body to fear.

The 2026 scoping review by Theodorsen, Donnelly and Bø pulled together 43 studies. The verdict? Abdominal widening in pregnancy is a normal adaptation. There is no agreed measurement where a gap becomes "a problem."

Function matters more than the millimetres. And no movement is off limits when you build back to it.

You can have a strong, capable core with a gap remaining. You are not broken. And you do not have to live in fear of a curl-up.

If you were told to be afraid of your own body, this is your permission slip to stop.

Save this for the friend still avoiding planks. Send it to the woman convinced her "gap" has ruined her body.

She was told to suffer quietly. Quietly was never an option.

Comment DIASTASIS and I'll send you the study so you can bring it to your practitioner. 🫐

Meet Katie Agnew, our new Registered Osteopath. She started with us last week and we are so glad she's here. 🫐

Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on form of manual therapy that looks past the symptom to find what is actually driving the pain or dysfunction. Katie is an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner in good standing with the Ontario Association of Osteopathy, a yoga teacher, and mum to Elliott.

She started out in the corporate world in the UK, traded her Blackberry for yoga pants back in 2010, and found osteopathy during her yoga teacher training. After a decade that included living in British Columbia and New Zealand, she now calls Dundas home.

Who Katie treats:

🫐 Babies and young children. Latching difficulty, torticollis, and colic are all in her wheelhouse. She has completed advanced pediatric training in both Canada and the UK.

🫐 Prenatal and postpartum bodies. Katie has additional prenatal training and teaches prenatal and mommy and me yoga at Moai Movement, so she is well connected in the Hamilton and Dundas mom community.

🫐 Everybody else. Headaches, bad backs, and digestive complaints are just the start. Osteopathy is for all ages and all bodies, and Katie's training prepared her to assess and treat across the board.

Your first appointment with Katie includes a thorough health history, a full assessment, and real time to talk through your goals so the plan is built around you.

Coming this fall: Katie finishes her manual lymphatic drainage certification in early October and starts offering MLD here Mid-October. She is also beginning advanced pelvic health and c-section rehabilitation training in the coming months. We will share full details on both as they come.

Katie is in clinic Fridays right now and adds Mondays in September.

We're proud to support the 2026 Fertility Matters 6K, standing alongside Fertility Matters Canada in advocating for equitable access to fertility and family building care across the country.

This year, Fertility Matters Canada is working to raise $200,000 to fund essential advocacy, education, and support for Canadians navigating infertility. Those dollars go toward influencing policy, providing resources, and closing the gaps in access so many families face.

Last year we ran a booth and met so many people building their families in every way imaginable. We're showing up again this year because this cause matters to us and to the community we serve.

Join us in raising awareness, building community, and creating real change.

Register, donate, or learn more by commenting 'FERTILITY' and we'll send you the details 🫐💙

Save this for your next cottage day.

The Baby Hug Breath is one of the simplest things you can do during pregnancy to stay connected to your pelvic floor, your breath, and your baby. Let the water set the pace. Inhale as the water moves in and fill your belly. Exhale as it moves back out and gently hug your baby up and in with your ribs, your deep core, and your pelvic floor.
No mat, no reps, no counting. Just breath, water, and a bit of intention.
We love this one because it teaches your diaphragm and pelvic floor to work together (which matters for labour and postpartum recovery), calms your nervous system, and gives you a quiet moment with your baby before they arrive.

Dock, bed, bathtub, backyard. Anywhere with a rhythm you can borrow.

Comment BREATHE and we’ll send you our Hole Shebang episode on breath and the pelvic floor. Pour a coffee, sit on the dock, listen in.
