Introducing BEFORE BIRTH: a workshop series to prepare you for pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
L.M., Spring 2023
You are pregnant or hope to be pregnant in the future (it's never too early to learn!)
You feel unprepared for your pregnancy journey, like how to manage back + pelvic pain, leaks, and constipation, or how to exercise safely
You have no idea how to prepare + protect your pelvic floor for labour + delivery.
You want to learn how to prepare for your postpartum recovery before baby comes!
