C-Summit 2023
Your Complete Virtual Cesarean Birth Prep & Recovery Experience.
For the entire month of April, attend FREE online workshops and expert interviews designed to make your C-birth recovery the best it can be.
In celebration of Cesarean Awareness Month 🔥
Why the C-Summit?
Because, recovering from a C-birth will take a minimum of 6-12 months...
...BUT...
you will NOT be given a recovery plan when leaving the hospital.
So then what happens?
Most C-birth mamas end up feeling overwhelmed after their major abdominal surgery.
- "What do I do with this pain?”
- “How will my core ever get strong again?”
- “Will I look like this forever?”
The answer is: this can all be temporary, IF you can invest just a little bit of time into your recovery.
In fact, C-birth recovery is actually quite simple.
Learn how, at the C-Summit.
C-Summit is for you whether you’re going to have a C-birth, had a C-birth 1 day or 10 years ago, or are a C-birth support person
I'm your host, Janette.
I’ve worked with thousands of athletes over my 20 years as an Athletic Therapist. But do you know who my toughest Athletes are?
Moms.
Think about it. What other sport lasts for 9 months, with no half-time, and no subs, no matter how tired or in pain you are?....AND, this sport (Pregnancy) ends in a mandatory season-ending injury (childbirth)!
You’re an ATHLETE. Don't let anyone tell you different. Now, let’s get you back in the Game.
