ABOUT CARRIE

Carrie received her first massage/bodywork certification in 2005 and in 2006 became a certified Mother Massage^® Therapist. Working with pregnant women piqued her interest in learning how women’s bodies transform during pregnancy and into motherhood. She decided to train with Julie Tupler, founder of Tupler Technique and Maternal Fitness^® to study prenatal and postpartum care including diastasis recti, core function, and corrective exercise. In 2009, Carrie studied with Jade Groff and became a certified prenatal yoga instructor. She began teaching weekly prenatal yoga classes at local studios and workshops for expecting women and supportive birth partners.

She continued her education by attending workshops with Leslie Howard, the founder of Pelvic Floor Yoga Therapy. This became the foundation for Carrie’s practice and teaching style. She took additional coursework and training to help guide her and other women to a better understanding of pelvic health, dysfunction, and ways to support women on a mind, body, and emotional level. (Carrie later completed the teacher training course with Leslie in 2018.) She continued her studies in yoga and received certification with Beth Filla (Yogawood in 2011) and attended additional training in prenatal and postpartum bodywork plus pelvic courses. She also developed and led yoga teacher training courses in anatomy and prenatal/postpartum modifications.
