Elevating Childbirth Education: Integrating Diastasis Recti Awareness into Your Classes

Julie is a Registered Nurse, Certified Personal Trainer and Childbirth Educator. She is in the ‘better belly” business. Better belly after having a baby, better belly after abdominal surgery, and better belly after doing improper abdominal exercises like crunches which separate the abdominal muscles. Julie has developed her research and evidenced based program called the Tupler Technique® to treat diastasis recti over 30 years.

She has written four books on the topic and produced five videos for women, men, children, pregnant women to prepare for labor and patients having abdominal surgery to prepare for their surgery. She has developed the Together Tummy splint and tank top, a Diastometer for measuring diastasis recti, Together Tape and her Corrective Connective Tissue Cream. Her program has been translated into six different languages.

Julie trains medical and fitness professionals all over the world in her program and is a frequent speaker at medical and fitness conferences. She is on the advisory board of Medical Fitness Network, Fit Pregnancy, Women's Health Foundation and the Women's Sports Foundation.
