Copy of Landscape Images (Victoria) (1).jpg — About Dr. Karlie

Hi, Friend!

I am Dr. Karlie Causey.

I am a sports chiropractor, a certified strength and conditioning specialist, pregnancy and postpartum athleticism coach, and a level 2 Crossfit coach.

More importantly, I am mom of (almost!) 3 who is ridiculously passionate about helping moms and moms-to-be restore their bodies and continue exercising after their babes are born.

My Mission

My greatest desire is that you feel confident moving your postpartum body

Whether that means getting back to the sport or activity you enjoyed prior to becoming pregnant or feeling stable and strong picking up your baby — you deserve to be as strong on the outside as you are on the inside!

Check out the Postpartum Restoration Plan

“Using the postpartum plan has allowed me to start Moving My Body safely and comfortably again. This was my first pregnancy and having something simple, effective, and easy to follow gave me one less thing to worry about in a time with a lot of change and unknowns. The first and most important thing is that it gave me the confidence for simple tasks like getting up off the floor holding my new baby. Now it is helping to reintroduce movements in the gym and helping me start to rebuild my fitness level safely following pregnancy and a c section.”

DR. KARLIE Causey, Founder

I am here to support your postpartum goals

Beyond being a mom and a competitive fitness lover, I have spent the last 17 years of my life studying the human body and learning how it moves. Earning my doctorate of chiropractic and a master's in human biology were just a start; I don't plan to stop learning any time soon! Lucky for me, my passion for research around the human body (especially ones that have recently brought new life into the world) allows me to pass along the most current, relevant, & actionable knowledge to you.

guidelines to return to running postpartum

While the general guidance looks like waiting until your 6 week check up with your midwife or OB and then waiting until around 12 weeks, I don’t think that that is good enough.
