Pre-recorded Workshop now available to take at the perfect time for you.

Pregnancy is a unique time in a person’s life to listen and feel oneself differently. Week by week, you are transformed, shifting and shaping in new ways, creating space inside for your baby to grow and preparing for the the intense physical and emotional experience of birth. For many people there may be a lot of fear involved in moving toward this event. This workshop will give the pregnant person practical down-to-earth advice on approaching birth empowered with knowledge and understanding.

• Core and pelvic floor muscular coordination during the pushing phase

• Instructions in perineal massage and other strategies to reduce tears

• Questions to ask your OBGYN or Midwife before birth

• What to expect immediately postpartum and a plan of action for recovery in the fourth trimester

Sliding scale $40-70.
