Well-adjusted Mama

In this episode, I welcome back registered nurse, childbirth educator, and fitness professional Julie Tupler, founder of the Tupler Technique. Together, we explore how diastasis recti affects children — a condition commonly associated with pregnancy but often overlooked in kids. Julie shares how her evidence-based Tupler Technique can help strengthen the core, improve posture, and support healthy development from an early age. We discuss why some children develop diastasis recti, the link to digestive issues and poor posture, and how proper breathing and alignment can improve energy, growth, and even nervous-system function. Julie's new children's book Will You Be My Belly Buddy and companion video Belly Button Boogie make core healing fun for the whole family — encouraging parents and children to work together. Takeaways: Kids can also experience diastasis recti, not just adults. Strengthening the core improves posture, energy, and breathing. Family-based rehab can be fun, interactive, and effective. Ea
