I jumped at her birthday party without thinking.
At 14 months postpartum, I was still leaking when I jumped on the trampoline with my 4-year-old. Four weeks of the protocol — gone. I feel like myself again.

If something still doesn't feel right after baby — you're not imagining it. A 10-minute daily ritual for the body that built a person.
You're not alone
You're not
imagining it.
1 in 3 mothers experience pelvic floor changes after birth.
60% have diastasis. 33% still have it at 12 months.
And nobody tells you what to do about it.
The doctor says "do Kegels." The pelvic floor PT is $200 per session — and three weeks out. The internet shows you crunches that make it worse. The gym feels all wrong.
You're left to figure it out alone — six weeks postpartum, a year postpartum, six years postpartum. It doesn't matter when. It just matters that no one held you when it counted.
"Not because you've failed. Because you've been left without clear guidance.
Soft strength.
Three ways the ring brings you back.
(And it's not Kegels.)
○
Pelvic floor activation
The inner-thigh squeeze engages your pelvic floor + transverse abdominis simultaneously — without a single Kegel.
⌒
Diastasis safe
No crunches. No spinal flexion. The kind of core work that actually closes the gap.
⏱
10 minutes. Nap window.
No gym. No childcare. No $200/session. Done while baby naps.
The Ritual.
Three small moves. Done daily.
01
Breathe in.
Inhale fully. Let your pelvic floor descend.
02
Squeeze.
Exhale. Press the ring between your inner thighs. Feel the lift — that's your pelvic floor + deep core, working together.
03
Repeat.
10 minutes a day. Follow the 4-week protocol in your guide.
No crunches. No planks. No gimmicks. More than Kegels.
What's included
- 1 Pilates Ring (14.5" · fiberglass core · soft-grip handles)

How it works
The ring sits between your inner thighs. You inhale, let your pelvic floor descend. You exhale, and squeeze.
That single move engages your pelvic floor + transverse abdominis simultaneously — the deep core stabilizers most weakened by pregnancy. More than Kegels.
10 minutes a day. 4-5 days a week. Most mothers feel meaningful change in 4-6 weeks. Visible results often come at 8-12 weeks.
We promise the foundation — not a quick fix.

Clinical Evidence
Studied.
Not invented.
The Pilates Ring isn't a TikTok trend.
It's a tool clinical researchers have studied for postpartum pelvic floor recovery, diastasis recti, and stress urinary incontinence.

The Story
Why I made this.
I had my second baby in 2024.
Six months in, I was still leaking when I sneezed. Still couldn't lift my toddler without lower-back panic. Still looking five months pregnant in the mirror.
The doctor said do Kegels. The pelvic floor PT was $200 a session — and three weeks out. The gym felt all wrong. The crunches made it worse.
One night, I picked up an old Pilates Ring from my closet. Followed an Instagram physio's tutorial. Squeezed it between my knees. Breathed.
Something clicked.
Not magic. Not overnight. But after four weeks of ten minutes a day — leaks gone. Belly softer, but stronger. I felt like myself again.
I made Loula Studio because no one held me when I needed it most. Now we hold each other.
Whether you're 6 weeks or 6 years postpartum — you belong here.

I picked her up to twirl, no panic.
At 9 months postpartum, I couldn't lift my 18-month-old without back pain. Six weeks in, my deep core felt activated again — finally. I'm rebuilding from the inside.

Sex isn't painful anymore.
My pelvic PT recommended a ring. This one came with the actual 4-week program. Three weeks in, sex isn't painful anymore — and I can lift my toddler without bracing. I feel held while I heal.
Jasmine R.· 7 mo postpartum
C-section friendly — finally.
Most postpartum content forgets us C-section moms. This protocol explicitly walks you through what's safe and what isn't. Felt held, in the best way.
Priya N.· C-section · 8 mo postpartum
Would have liked more video.
The PDFs are clear and well-organized but I wish there were short demo videos for each move. Still — the practice itself is working. 3 weeks in, my core feels different.
Aisha M.· 11 mo postpartum
18 months postpartum and it still works.
I thought it was too late. The guide reassured me research shows recovery is possible years out. Three weeks of daily practice and I noticed a real difference. Don't wait like I did.

Quietly answered.
When can I start using the ring after birth?
Standard guidance is 4-6 weeks postpartum once your healthcare provider has cleared you for gentle exercise. The included 4-week protocol is designed for exactly this stage — gentle, gradual, diastasis-safe. No pressure to bounce back. Just gentle return.
Is this safe after a C-section?
Yes — once cleared by your provider (typically 6-8 weeks). The protocol avoids spinal flexion and abdominal pressure work in the first phase, focusing on breath + pelvic floor activation. Many of our mothers are C-section moms. You're held here, however your baby arrived.
What if I have diastasis recti?
The protocol is built specifically for diastasis-safe practice. No crunches, no spinal flexion, no exercises that increase intra-abdominal pressure. The included Diastasis Safe guide walks you through what to do — and what to avoid. Trusted by mothers healing the gap, gently.
How is this different from doing Kegels?
Kegels work the pelvic floor in isolation. The ring + breath protocol activates pelvic floor + transverse abdominis (your deep core stabilizer) simultaneously — which is how the body is meant to function. Plus, you can feel the engagement, which most women can't with Kegels alone. Something to help — and it's not Kegels.
I'm 18+ months postpartum. Is it too late?
No. Research shows pelvic floor and diastasis improvements are possible years postpartum. Our mothers range from 6 weeks to 5+ years out — many see real changes in 4-6 weeks. Whether you're 6 weeks or 6 years postpartum, you can safely begin. Your healing isn't a deadline.
How long until I see results?
Most mothers feel stronger core engagement within 1-2 weeks. Visible and functional change (less leaking, easier lifting, deeper engagement) typically shows in 4-8 weeks of consistent daily practice. Many feel meaningful difference at 8-12 weeks. We promise the foundation — not a quick fix.
Do I need to use the ring every day?
10 minutes, 4-5 days a week is the protocol. Daily is ideal but not required. Consistency over intensity. No shame, no rush, no guesswork.
When does the order ship?
Within 24 hours from our US warehouse. Standard shipping is 5-7 days (free, USPS/FedEx/UPS). Digital guides are emailed instantly after purchase. From one mother's studio to your door.
