What We Cover in Your Virtual Birth Prep Sessions
Everything you need to step into your delivery room with confidence and readiness.
Effective Pushing Mechanics
Learn how to direct downward pressure with your breath to help "breathe out your baby" rather than pushing while holding your breath against a closed pelvic floor, conserving your energy and protecting your pelvic floor.
Perineal Mobility & Tear Risk Reduction
Evidence-based perineal stretching guidance, hip mobility, and pelvic opening strategies to lower tearing risks.
Pelvic Outlet Opening Positions
Tailored positioning recommendations for delivery based on your preferred birthing method for your maximum comfort.
360° Labour Breathing Strategies
Breathing techniques that promote pelvic floor relaxation between contractions, easing pain and preventing exhaustion. You also learn breathing techniques to use during pushing to ease the process for you and for baby, for a smoother and lower tear risk experience.
Partner Coaching & Labour Advocacy
Partners are welcome to join screen time to learn counter-pressure techniques, hip squeezes, and cues to assist you in labour.
C-Section & Unplanned Delivery Readiness
Guidance for both planned and unplanned caesarean births, including early hospital recovery, gentle breathwork, and incision protection.

“Birth preparation isn’t about striving for perfection. It’s about building trust in your body, understanding how your pelvis opens, and having tools for an easier and more informed labour experience. Our virtual care prepares your body for delivery and gives you the calm you need for an otherwise possibly stressful experience.”
