About Chiara De Benedetti
Chiara De Benedetti is an accomplished professional in the field of physical education, graduating with honors in Rome in 1995. With over two decades of experience as a physical education teacher and personal trainer, Chiara has always had a passion for helping people achieve their fitness goals. She is currently expanding her skills with a certification as a breath trainer in the Buteyko Clinic method and she has already obtained a certification with Dr. Belisa Vranich's The Breathing Class reflecting her holistic approach to health and fitness.
Her personal journey took an unexpected turn after the birth of her second child, when she developed diastasis recti. Despite her vast knowledge of fitness, Chiara struggled to eliminate her “mummy tummy,” not realizing that the exercises she was doing were ineffective due to her condition.
Discovery of Diastasis Recti
It wasn’t until Chiara delved into research and discovered the Tupler Technique® that she understood why her daily workouts were not yielding results. Diastasis recti, the separation of the abdominal muscles, is a common condition for women post-pregnancy. Chiara had unknowingly been performing exercises that worsened the condition, making it impossible to reduce her belly.
Once Chiara started practicing the Tupler Technique®—a program specifically designed to close the gap in the abdominal muscles—she was amazed by the transformation of her body. The method gave her a new shape, eliminating her long-standing "mummy tummy," and restored her confidence. This personal success story fueled her desire to help others in Italy who suffer from diastasis recti but are unaware of non-surgical solutions.
Becoming a Tupler Technique® Trainer
Chiara became a certified Tupler Technique® trainer in December 2018 after completing her training in New York at Tupler Inc. Her dedication and passion for the technique led her to become a Master Trainer in 2020, a title she proudly holds as she continues to work with clients in Italy. Chiara is honored to be the first licensed professional in Italy to offer the Tupler Technique®, bringing this highly effective method to a country where diastasis recti is often treated surgically.
Spreading Awareness in Italy
In Italy, diastasis recti is frequently seen as a condition that requires surgery. However, Chiara is on a mission to change that perception. She has dedicated her career to educating women and healthcare professionals about non-invasive ways to close diastasis recti, primarily through the Tupler Technique®. Her expertise in physical education, coupled with her personal experience, has made her a trusted authority in the field of postnatal recovery.
Chiara’s approach focuses on empowering women with the knowledge and tools they need to heal their bodies naturally. Her clients learn to incorporate safe, effective exercises into their daily lives that support the healing of the abdominal muscles while also improving their overall physical health.
Chiara's Podcast: Tummy Talk
As part of her mission to raise awareness, Chiara launched a podcast titled “Chiacchiere di Pancia,” which translates to “Tummy Talk.” The podcast, now in its fourth year, is available on major platforms such as Spotify, iTunes, Google Podcasts, and Spreaker. The primary focus of the podcast is to spread information about diastasis recti and related postnatal health issues. Through her episodes, Chiara provides valuable insights, interviews with experts, and practical tips for women navigating their post-pregnancy recovery.
Client Success Stories
Chiara’s work has had a profound impact on the lives of many women in Italy. One of her clients shared, “Before meeting Chiara, I thought my only option to fix my diastasis was surgery. Thanks to her guidance and the Tupler Technique®, I was able to heal naturally and regain my strength.”
Another client said, “Chiara’s combination of expertise, empathy, and motivation made all the difference in my recovery. Her classes have not only transformed my body but also my confidence as a mother.”
Chiara continues to inspire women across Italy, providing hope and a non-invasive solution to diastasis recti through her training and advocacy.
