How do we prepare our pelvis for birth? This is the question I am answering in my free pelvic prep guide - that you can download at the bottom of this email! This guide is 20+ pages of pelvic prep - from anatomy to mindset around birth.

The female pelvis is designed for giving birth. Does this mean that every birth will be vaginal? No - there are always multiple factors at play when we are thinking about the outcomes of a birth. What it does mean though, is that we can focus on different positioning and mobility in order to help our pelvis optimally function for birth.

We want to factor in our pelvic floor musculature into our pelvic prep. The tissues of our pelvic floor and perineum are designed to stretch 300% during birth + delivery. We want to help prepare these tissues to relax and open.

We also want to consider our mindset as part of prep. If you have a history of trauma, particularly sexual trauma, you may want to strongly consider additional mental health support prior to birth as well.

I poured my years of experience as a chiropractor and doula into this guide. Let me know what questions you have and what you think!
