Julie Tupler is a Registered Nurse, Certified Personal Trainer and Childbirth Educator. She started developing the Tupler Technique® in 1990 with her Maternal Fitness® Program to prepare women for the “marathon of labor and motherhood.” As a childbirth educator, she realized that childbirth education comes at the end of pregnancy and only prepares your mind. Just like in any marathon you need to prepare your mind and body. That is what the Maternal Fitness Program did. A large diastasis puts a pregnant woman at risk for a C Section as well as ineffective pushing in labor. Her first book written in 1996 was “Maternal Fitness” (Simon& Schuster) was a revolutionary new way to prepare for labor by learning how to push during pregnancy. In 2001 she wrote “Lose Your Mummy Tummy” (Da Capo) to help moms recover from childbirth focusing on treating diastasis recti. Diastasis Rehab was created in 2009 to focus on treatment of diastasis for women, men and children. In 2016 she published Together Tummy (Mascot) which focuses on treatment of diastasis for everyone with a diastasis no matter how or when they got it!
