Being informed + in charge of your birth? Kinda chic actually…

What would you add?

And of course the most chic? Going into birth with a mindset that will help you meet the challenges of labour, a partner who is able to advocate and support you alongside having tools and knowledge to help you make decisions!

My next one is on the 7th November - only 2 spots left! Book via my link 🔗

Just checkin you’re not feeling responsible for birth being inherently chaotic and unpredictable? 🧡😘

Save this one for when things get real!

And send it to the person who’ll be beside you in labour, they NEED to know the tools too.

Birth prep isn’t about memorising a hundred techniques.

It’s about having a handful of tools you’ve actually practised, knowing when to bring them in, and having a support person who knows how to help you use them when your thinking brain has very much left the building 🤯

These are some of the simple tools I come back to again and again in labour — breath, rhythm, movement, touch, environment and connection.

We practice these (and a whole lot more!) in Your Birth Class so you AND your support person leave knowing what you can actually DO when labour gets intense.

Next Ballarat class: Saturday 7th November (only 2 spots left!!) Best done around 20–34 weeks, but you’re absolutely welcome outside that window too.

Details + bookings via my bio.

If I had a dollar for every time I heard “just do an inversion”…

I LOVE having practical tools we can use in pregnancy. I use positioning, movement, bodywork, Acuneedling™ and Internal Pelvic Release in my own practice.

But I don’t love applying the same tool to EVERY body, without asking why we’re using it in the first place.

A breech baby. A posterior baby. Pelvic pain. Feeling tight through one side. A transverse baby. Someone who’s completely comfortable and simply wants to prepare their body for birth.

They’re not automatically the same treatment.

This is one of my favourite parts of pregnancy bodywork, looking at the person in front of me and individualising the treatment and plan to them.

Pregnancy bodywork appointments are available throughout pregnancy — you don’t need to wait until 36 weeks or until something feels “wrong”.

You can see me on Wednesdays & Thursdays in Ballarat. Book via my bio link 🔗
