Momstrong Blueprint  ·  12 weeks

I'm going to teach you my complete postpartum recovery system.

You'll train with the strategies and protocols I've developed over 18 years of training postpartum moms in core rehab, Pilates, barre and strength. Heal your core, return to your strength, and feel amazing in your body again.

Who it's for

Moms in any stage of postpartum, and women moving through perimenopause.

Maybe you're dealing with one of these. Maybe you're just plain exhausted from your fourth trimester. Either way, this system meets your body where it is.

  • Diastasis recti Abdominal separation
  • Rib flare Posture & breath
  • Pelvic floor dysfunction Pressure system
  • Sciatica & low back pain Alignment
  • Low muscle tone Rebuilding strength
  • Fourth-trimester fatigue Energy
The method

We build from the inside out, one layer at a time.

Every client moves through the same four training layers. We start with your deep core and breath, then progressively ramp up from core repair all the way to power, so you feel energized instead of drained.

POWER STRENGTH CALISTHENICS CORE + BREATH
  1. 1

    Core + Breath

    Breath-based core support, pelvic floor work, guided meditation and stretching. This is where we address diastasis, rib flare and pressure management, and where you reconnect with your body.

  2. 2

    Calisthenics

    Bodyweight calisthenics, barre and Pilates wake up the stabilizers that hold your hips, spine and shoulders in alignment.

  3. 3

    Strength

    Progressive overload. We add load week by week so you build real muscle and change your body composition.

  4. 4

    Power

    Sprint interval training based on Dr. Stacy Sims' protocols, building toward HIIT once your foundation can support it.

How I teach

Biomechanics first. Deep core before a six-pack.

Breath

Your breath supports your core.

Every exercise starts with the breath, because your diaphragm and deep core work as one team.

Pressure

Your torso is a pressure system.

Learning to manage pressure protects your pelvic floor and helps your abdominal wall heal.

Posture

Posture is resting muscle length.

We retrain how your muscles sit at rest, so good alignment becomes your default, not a pose you hold.

Order

Deep before surface.

We rebuild the deepest layers of your core first, then add the muscles you can see.

Inside the program

Everything you need, designed around your life at home.

Rehab

Core & pelvic floor restore

My complete core restore and rehab system, the foundation for everything else.

Movement

Pilates barre

Posture-based Pilates and barre sessions that build tone, balance and alignment.

Training

Progressive strength

Strength workouts that build week over week, so you gain muscle and lose inches.

Conditioning

Sprint intervals to HIIT

Short, science-backed cardio that builds energy rather than draining it.

Recovery

Myofascial rolling

Release work that eases tension from feeding, carrying and sleeping in odd positions.

Mindset

Guided meditations

Short meditations to settle your nervous system and keep you connected to why you started.

Hi, I'm Jess Barzell

This system is how I rebuilt my own body.

I started strength training at 47 and had my son at 49. That training carried me through pregnancy and a strong postpartum recovery. Using this system I lost fifteen pounds, gained more muscle than ever, and lost inches off my waist, all while going through perimenopausal energy loss and weight gain.

I'm a strength, mindset and nutrition coach in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, and I run a Pilates teacher certification in Portland. I've spent 18 years training postpartum moms, and there's very little we can't solve together.

What moms are experiencing

Results that surprised even me.

Migraines she'd had for years, gone.

One mom found relief from long-standing migraines as her breath, posture and core came back online.

Four years postpartum, the belly bulge finally resolved.

It's never too late. Another mom came in years after birth and closed the uneven bulge that nothing else had touched.

Stronger than before.

Clients are losing pregnancy weight, building muscle and restoring their bodies to stronger than they were before baby.
