Mommy Makeovers: Caring for You (part 1)

It’s a no-brainer. When it comes to caring for baby, as a new mom you likely armed yourself with the best information possible, but now what about caring for yourself?

After childbirth many women find that diet and exercise alone cannot fully restore their bodies after childbirth. In Newport Beach we know how hard and frustrating this can be for moms. Especially in an area where it’s swimsuit season all year long. We want women, especially those hard-working dedicated women who are called “Mom” to enjoy feeling confident in their own skin.
