In preparation for labour & postpartum, the talk is often around optimising nutrient intake to support breastfeeding, the growth and development of the baby and giving the body all of the TLC to support the post-partum mumma to be.
But how about if you could focus on optimising the outcomes of your labour by getting your baby primed for it’s perfect positioning?
In this episode we are going by Nurse/Midwife, Personal Trainer & Birth Preparation Body worker Gabrielle Brennan. Gabrielle is dedicated to providing bodywork techniques to help soften the pelvic space to encourage optimal fetal positioning for spontaneous labour!
The overall goal of Gabrielle’s work is to empower women to take control of their labour and troubleshoot the problems that may arise as to why labour may not start or progress by addressing the cause.
In this episode, Gabrielle shares with us:
- The HUGE gaps in the midwifery system around holistically understanding the physiology behind labour
