As a pelvic floor physical therapist and a mom, these are some of the things I wish every first-time mom knew before labor.

✨ Your pelvic floor should relax during pushing—and this is a skill you can practice during pregnancy.

✨ You don’t have to labor or give birth on your back. Birth positions matter and can help create more space in your pelvis.

✨ Your breath is one of your biggest assets during labor and delivery. Learning how to coordinate your breathing with your pelvic floor can help support pushing and relaxation.

✨ You can and should prepare for birth.

Birth is unpredictable, but preparing for labor and birth doesn’t have to be.

That’s exactly why I created Prepare Your Pelvic Floor for Birth, an in-person birth preparation class taught by a licensed pelvic floor physical therapist. Together, we’ll cover pelvic floor connection, breathing during labor, labor positions, pushing strategies, and postpartum recovery so you can head into birth feeling prepared and confident in your body.

You wouldn’t run a marathon without training…

So why do we expect women to go into labor and birth without preparing?

Birth is unpredictable, but that doesn’t mean you can’t prepare.

During pregnancy, you can learn and practice:

✨ How to connect with your pelvic floor
✨ Breathing strategies for labor
✨ Positions that create space in the pelvis
✨ Pushing techniques
✨ Ways to prepare your body for postpartum recovery

These are exactly the skills we cover inside my small-group class, Prepare Your Pelvic Floor for Birth.

As a pelvic floor physical therapist, my goal is to help women head into labor feeling more confident, connected, and prepared—not fearful.

Most of us have never practiced pushing before labor.

So when the time comes, many women instinctively hold their breath and bear down as hard as possible.

But pushing isn’t just about force.

Your breath matters, too.

Exhaling—or even making low, open sounds while you push—can help encourage your pelvic floor to relax and lengthen rather than fight against the process.

Think:
🌿 Slow exhale
🌿 Long sigh
🌿 Low “ahhh” or “oooo” sounds

You don’t have to wait until labor to figure this out.

Just like any other skill, breathing and pushing can be practiced during pregnancy.

Learning how to connect your breath, your core, and your pelvic floor ahead of time can help you feel more prepared and confident when labor begins.

These are some of the exact skills we practice inside my birth preparation class, Prepare Your Pelvic Floor for Birth, because birth prep is more than just packing a hospital bag.

One of the biggest misconceptions about birth prep is that your pelvic floor needs to be “strong.”

Strength matters.

But when it’s time to birth your baby, your pelvic floor also needs the ability to lengthen, soften, and create space.

Comment RELEASE for a simple exercise to practice this with your pelvic floor. ✨

Think of your pelvic floor like a hammock at the bottom of your pelvis.

If that hammock stays tense all the time, it may have a harder time adapting to the stretch that happens during labor to create space at the bottom of your pelvis for your baby to pass through.

That’s why during pregnancy, I spend time teaching clients how to:

✨ Connect with their pelvic floor

✨ Coordinate breathing and pelvic floor movement

✨ Practice relaxation and lengthening

✨ Improve mobility through the pelvis and hips

✨ Learn pushing strategies before labor begins

Birth is never completely predictable, but preparing your body to move, relax, and adapt can make a huge difference.

These are exactly the skills we practice inside my birth preparation class, Prepare Your Pelvic Floor for Birth.

In this small-group class, you’ll learn:
✔️ How your pelvic floor functions during labor and delivery
✔️ Breathing and relaxation techniques
✔️ Positions to encourage pelvic mobility and opening
✔️ Pushing strategies
✔️ Practical tools to prepare your body for birth

Nobody warns you about the first postpartum p**p 💩😅

One of the simplest things you can do after a vaginal birth is support your perineum with a clean pad, washcloth, or your hand while having a bowel movement.

Why?

Because it can help you feel more supported and comfortable while your tissues are healing.

But here’s what I wish more women knew:

Preparing for postpartum recovery actually starts during pregnancy.

As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I spend a lot of time helping moms prepare not just for labor and birth, but also for what comes after.

In my Prepare Your Pelvic Floor for Birth class, we cover:
• Pelvic floor relaxation and coordination
• Breathing and pushing strategies
• Creating space in the pelvis for birth
• Birth positions and pushing mechanics
• Early postpartum recovery tips (including things like the first postpartum p**p!)

My goal is to help you walk into birth feeling more confident, more prepared, and knowing how to work with your body during labor and recovery.

I wish more moms knew this about childbirth…

Your body was designed to create space for birth — but most women are never actually taught how to work with their body during labor.

As a pelvic floor physical therapist, one of the biggest things I teach pregnant women is that your pelvic floor doesn’t just need to be “strong.” It also needs to be able to relax, lengthen, and coordinate with your breath during pushing.

Learning how to:
• Connect with your pelvic floor
• Use your breath effectively
• Create space in your pelvis for baby
• Practice pushing mechanics before labor

can help you feel more confident going into birth and may help reduce unnecessary strain on your body during labor and pushing.

And the good news? These are all skills you can practice during pregnancy.

That’s exactly what we focus on in my Prepare Your Pelvic Floor for Birth class — a live, hands-on class where we practice these techniques together and help you feel more prepared for labor, birth, and early postpartum recovery.

As both a pelvic floor PT and first-time mom, I knew I didn’t want to go into labor just hoping for the best. I wanted to understand how to work with my body during birth. So I…

Learned how to connect with and relax my pelvic floor

Practiced coordinating my breath with pushing

Worked on creating space in my pelvis for birth

Practiced pushing mechanics before labor

Prepared for early postpartum recovery ahead of time

Most women are never taught any of this and it can make a huge difference in your labor and birth experience.

That’s exactly why I created my Prepare Your Pelvic Floor for Birth class — a live, in-person class where I teach you these same techniques and more to help you feel more confident, prepared, and connected to your body going into labor.

Here’s what others are saying:

“It was really helpful to learn more about the pelvic floor structures and to practice breathing and connection with my pelvic floor!”

“It was helpful to learn pelvic floor specific birth prep and I liked how hands-on it was!”

Most women go into labor having been told what will happen…

…but not how to actually use their body during it.

Your pelvic floor isn’t just something to strengthen — it needs to be able to relax, coordinate with your breath, and create space for baby during pushing.

And the good news is — these are skills you can learn during pregnancy.

When you understand how your body works, you don’t have to go into birth guessing.
You can go in feeling more confident, prepared, and connected to your body.

That’s exactly what we practice in my

Most pregnant women are trying to prepare for birth…

but they’re missing a few key pieces that can make a big difference.

As a pelvic floor physical therapist (and a mom), these are some of the most common things I see:

Preparing your body for birth isn’t just about doing more kegels — it’s about learning how to relax your pelvic floor, coordinate with your breath, create space in your pelvis, and understand how to push effectively.

These are all skills you can practice during pregnancy.

And when you do, you can go into labor feeling more confident, more prepared, and more connected to your body — instead of guessing in the moment.

That’s exactly what we focus on in my
Prepare Your Pelvic Floor for Birth class.
