Movement Foundations
Core, Pelvic Floor & Whole Body
Grounded in the Restore Your Core Methodolgy
1:1 Assessment Sessions - In Person or Virtual
Your core, breath, pelvic floor, and movement patterns create the foundation for how your whole body moves, balances, and generates strength. When these systems lose coordination - movement can become less efficient, and symptoms often follow.
Whether you're seeking help for pelvic floor symptoms or rebuilding movement after injury, surgery, or persistent pain, Movement Foundations offers an individualized path toward stronger, more efficient movement.
​
Together, we'll identify your body's true starting point and create a personalized plan to improve movement, build strength, and increase your capacity with greater confidence so you can truly enjoy the activities you love.
​
Each session is personalized to your body, goals, and current capacity. Together we'll use movement assessment, corrective exercise, breathwork, and somatic awareness to improve movement quality, reduce compensation patterns, and help you build strength with greater ease and confidence.
​
Movement Foundations may be a good fit if you're experiencing:
-
Pelvic floor dysfunction, including prolapse or incontinence
-
Core weakness or diastasis recti
-
Pregnancy or postpartum recovery (12+ weeks)
-
Persistent low back, hip, SI joint, or groin pain
-
Pelvic pain, vulvodynia, vaginismus, or pudendal nerve symptoms
-

My 1:1 sessions are rooted in the Restore Your Core® Method – and if you'd like to build on that work between sessions or in your own time, I recommend the RYC® 12-Week Program by Lauren Ohayon. It's a structured, self-directed online program built on the same whole-body principles we explore together: breathing, pressure management, and core and pelvic floor coordination. Done at home in around 25 minutes a day, it has supported more than 10,000 people across 80+ countries. If you're considering enrolling, reach out to me first – there's a saving available through me that isn't listed publicly.
What People Are Saying
"I recently did a 1:1 Restore your core session with Maressa and it was an amazing experience! I came to her with concerns about pelvic floor issues and low back pain, as well as the intention to learn ways to reset, strengthen my core, and improve my stability while working with clients (i'm a bodyworker). Maressa made me feel so comfortable throughout the session, and her instruction was both educational and clear.
She addressed my concerns thoughtfully, guiding me through exercises that felt supportive and effective. I espeically appreciated how thorough she was - she sent me a follow up video with demonstrations of everything we covered, which was incredibly helpful for retaining the exercises. Her knowledge, care, and attention to detail really shine through, and I highly recommend working with her!
-Sara L.
"My experience of the RYC technique with Maressa was both informative and enlightening. She helped me understand the mechanics of my anterior pelvic tilt and work with the basic foundations of breath and movement to restore my relationship with my pelvic floor on a daily basis. Maressa made the process fun and comfortable while effectively asking the right questions and guiding me towards making connections in my own body that continue to stick with me today. My daily body mechanics in my work as a massage therapist and in my fitness have changed completely." - Marie P.
"I have been a massage therapist for 18 years and have received LOTS of bodywork and I couldn't believe how much new awareness I had after seeing Maressa for a Restore Your Core session. She is a wealth of knowledge and insight and helped me tune into some imbalances I was having while giving me the tools I needed to actually do something about it." -Libby G.
"Loved our session so much! Your approach helped connect the rational understanding of my patterns and the way it should actually feel in my body so fast! I tried many approaches, but none of them was so hands on and easy to put into action. I had the impression you have been doing those sessions for along time! Thank you so much! -Stefanie H.
