THE POSTPARTUM PROJECT
You're a Climber, and A Mom. Kegels and Deadbugs Aren't What You Need. This Is.
The ONLY postpartum specific climbing training program. This program takes everything you need for postpartum rehab and combines it with proven climbing training to make it a reality for you to actually train for climbing and send in style as a new, busy Mom.
ENROLL NOW: FEB 5th START DATE
A program made that makes sense for where you're at - and for what you can actually handle.
You're a new Mom that loves to climb...and trying to piece together what climbing and training is going to look like for you now. You want something that lets you climb yet gives you the pieces that you need to get stronger from the inside out .... without completely overwhelming you. You're in the right spot.
Imagine how it will feel when you...
01
Quit thinking about your pelvic floor and the kegels you're supposed to be doing...but aren't.
02
Have good form strength training - and have the confidence to finally lift heavy.
03
Know that you're ready to climb hard again, and you're so stoked to pick out a new project.
There's just one problem...
These are all challenging on their own, let alone putting them all together!
✔ All the pelvic floor stuff seems slow and you're not sure if its actually going to help you for the specific demands of climbing.
✔ Other climbing training programs don't include any postpartum specific programming - and the volume of training required is way to much for you to handle with a new baby.
✔ You have a handful of PT exercises that you keep recycling, leftover from pregnancy..and you're not sure what else to do.
✔ You're missing climbing something fierce but you know that you can't jump. right back in, but have no clue where to start.
✔ You need something easy and digestible, and trying to put all of the pieces together on your own feels completely overwhelming.
Here's the truth:
You can use climbing and strength training as your postpartum rehab process.
Your body is still going through changes and healing at least and up to one year postpartum - imagine if your climbing and strength training was a part of that process - not independent of it. You have major facets of postpartum rehab and climbing training all in one program - and will come out a better, stronger, and more confident climber on the other side.

The A.S.C.E.N.T System
The Ascent : A
ACTION
You're going to take action. Not in a James Bond kinda way - but in a 'okay, I'm ready let's do this' kinda way. You're not going to get after your climbing goals by doing...nothing. This plan makes sure you're working towards goals - not just buying something and never doing it.
the ascent: S
Strength
You will gain a lot of this - in your core, in your fingers, in your posterior chain, and yes, in your pelvic floor too. All the specific areas you need to thrive and crush not only as a climber, but also as a Mom. Strength training is a skill you will have for the rest. of. your. life.
The ascent: C
Core
...and this means so much more than your abs. I am going to teach you exactly how to make your core stronger than you ever thought possible, from the inside out. This is about so much more than deadbugs, crunches, and planks. Nothing happens in a silo, and the same goes for your core.
The ascent: E
Education
The teaching and breakdowns that you've known to grow and love from me, in a way that is personalized for this program. Lessons that break down exactly what you need to know..and need to care about when it comes to your training as a new Mom.
the ascent: N
Navigate
It's all done for you, so you can ditch the compass. Literally zero guesswork. You're getting complete programming, with me cueing you up for every single exercise, breathing drill, climbing skill work, hangboarding, and every single thing in between.
the ascent: T
Training
Progressive overload is a real thing - but it can be very tricky to nail it on your own. Overload too fast or too little yields....things you don't want. This training is done in a systematic way that overloads you in the exact what you need to get to to badass feeling that you want.
what if it was a reality...

Hi, I'm Joy
The climbing coach for pregnant and postpartum climbers.
I have over a decade of experience coaching - and have worked with over 75 climbers specifically during pregnancy and/or postpartum.
Do not be shocked when I easily use the words pelvic floor, climbing, and internal rotation all in the same sentence.
It wasn't all the long ago...
That I climbed through two pregnancies. One in 2020 and one in 2021.
I can honestly say that climbing with my belly is perhaps the most badass I have ever felt. I loved it.
Fast forward to now, and having used my own recovery and return to climbing as a way to gain an even deeper understanding, appreciation, and respect for exactly what this program does.
its not crazy to start, its crazy to wait.

Real talk, from me to you
You don't need this program to get back to climbing after baby.
You can go climb on your own. You can try to fit together 'the postpartum stuff' with some sort of training, and call it good. But if want a return to climbing after pregnancy that is safe, systematic, data based, and full of all Joy you can handle (pun indented), then this is the program for you.
If you're looking for:
✔ Expert coaching, education, and guidance...
✔ A plan that you can actually follow and make happen, even as a new, busy Mom...with gains that keep you excited as you're going...
✔ A way to train with climbing Moms and support each other in not only climbing, but also life.
