The Not Your Mother's Pelvic Floor Podcast

In Episode 60 of the Not Your Mother's Pelvic Floor podcast, Aliya chats with Massage Therapist, Doula, and Fitness Specialist Hannah Etlin-Stein all about how she was raised, how she is parenting her own 2 boys, and the journey that lead her to her work as a bodyworker, doula, and childbirth educator.

In this episode, you'll hear Hannah and Aliya chat about:

• Whether or not Hannah would rather have her mother's pelvic floor or her own.
• Body image, "good" foods + "bad" foods, and how she navigates these issues with her mom these days.
• What it was like growing up in a house where bodies were celebrated, not shamed.
• The sex talk Hannah had (or didn't have) with her parents.
• How access to so much information and social media can make parenting feel overwhelming; and how things like screen time don't have to be vilified.
• The deep work Hannah has had to do in order to safely support people in their births
• What a doula is and why everyone should hire one if they are able to do so.

Whether it's helping you return to intentional movement postpartum, sinking into her massage table for a treatment, or supporting you through your pregnancy and birth, her work is an organic blend of her experiences as a mother, a mover, a bodyworker, an educator and an advocate.
