Onboarding starts at 36 weeks of pregnancy — so you arrive postpartum with a plan, instead of overwhelmed and searching.
Two ways in — fully held by Ciara, or self-paced with the same phased protocol.
Built and led by Ciara Barker, Certified Postpartum Doula — three years, nearly 50 clients coached.
Recovery is a transformation, not a return to a previous self. Monarch Mothers is the program for women who deserve more than a 6-week clearance — phased, clinically informed, and built around how the body and the nervous system actually recover.
Onboarding at 36 weeks means you arrive postpartum with a plan. No other postpartum program does this.
Strength is built on top of a functional foundation, never before it. Every phase prioritizes the floor and the core.
The 5-5-5 rule, then Intro, then Rebuild. Each phase must be complete before the next begins.
Early recovery is emotional, not athletic. The first 30 days are about being held. Coaching comes when the body is ready.
Pelvic floor dysfunction, core disconnection, and emotional dysregulation are not rare — they are the predictable result of skipping the rebuild. Monarch Mothers exists to close that gap, with a program that runs the full 20 weeks and stays with you for life.

González-Timoneda et al., 2025milestone touchpoints with Ciara across the program — from 36 weeks of pregnancy to week 20 graduation.
You’re entering motherhood — first baby, second, third, or fourth — and you don’t want to feel lost again. You want structure, not a platform. A coach who feels like a friend, not an influencer. Phased work that respects the floor and the nervous system, with someone in your corner from 36 weeks onward.
That’s the program.
Read the full program“After four pregnancies, I can honestly say this is the best I have done postpartum — physically and mentally. My pelvic floor and core stability are stronger sooner than after my previous pregnancies. It’s not just about bouncing back — it’s about healing, gaining real strength, and feeling confident in my body again.”
