FAQs - Mama Self Care

Q: Do you only work with clients on a weekly basis?

I prefer to work with clients on a weekly basis because in my experience weekly sessions give better results, as this helps you to stay consistent with your exercises and self-care practices. However, if you absolutely cannot make it to one of the weekly appointments I will do my best to reschedule your session.

Q: What if I have something urgent to ask you after our session?

I give my best support to my clients. I'm available for you in between the sessions by email or messaging app and will respond to your questions or requests as soon as possible.

Q: Are your exercises safe for people with prolapse?

Absolutely! I teach all my mamas how to train their bodies safely and improve conditions like prolapse, diastasis recti, incontinence.

Q: If I've never done any exercises or practiced any kinds of yoga before, can I still work with you?

Absolutely! This is what I'm here for. I'll teach you what you need and how you can start and progress with your exercises.

Q: Do you have a refund policy?

Yes. If you wish to cancel and get a refund for your Initial Consultation, you can do so by sending your request for a refund by email to katerina@mamaselfcare.com at least 48 hours before the scheduled session . Later than that there will be no refund. If you changed your mind about the postpartum coaching package that you purchased after the Initial Consultation, you can get a full refund of the package if you notify me at least 48 hours before your 1st session . Send your request for a refund to katerina@mamaselfcare.com no later than 48 hours prior to your scheduled appointment. After the Coaching program has begun, any unused sessions will not be refunded, but may be rescheduled for up to 12 months after the initial payment.

Q: Do you only work with mamas who have given birth recently?

I work with mamas of all ages and all postpartum stages, whether you gave birth 3 days ago or 30 years ago.

Q: Do you offer postnatal yoga online with baby?

Of course your baby is the boss and he or she is always welcome to join our classes. Feel free to do anything you need to make sure that you and your baby are comfortable. You can change a diaper, feed or take a break if you need.

Q: What is the difference between prenatal and postnatal yoga or exercises?

The short answer is that your prenatal exercises or yoga practice support your growing body and prepare you for birth. While postnatal training or yoga focuses on the recovery and healing of your body after pregnancy and birth.

Q: When can I start postpartum yoga?

You can start any time. The better question is what exactly can you do? As Yoga is not only about physical body movements and poses. Yoga includes many other practices like breathing, meditation, chanting, gentle touch and restorative practices. What kind of Yoga you need depends on many factors. For instance: How far are you in postpartum? What was your birth experience like? Do you have any injuries? Do you have any pains, tension or pelvic floor dysfunction?

Q: Why can’t I just go back to my pre-pregnancy workouts?

So, it’s important to be mindful and practice safe exercises or yoga to prevent or worsen injuries or dysfunctions (e.g. pelvic floor dysfunction, leaking pee, pelvic organ prolapse, hemorrhoids, etc). Even if you had a healthy birth and do not have any dysfunctions after birth, you should still be careful and not rush yourself to intense exercises or weight loss diets right away, as these can lead to developing injuries or dysfunctions.
