Supporting mum and child through pregnancy and post birth
During pregnancy the body is constantly changing and moving beyond familiar patterns of movement. The center of gravity changes and organs are shifted and put under pressure.
I use gentle hands-on Ortho-Bionomy techniques to support the changes that need to take place during pregnancy.
This includes working with areas that can become uncomfortable during pregnancy and post birth e.g. lower back, hips, pelvis, diaphragm and shoulders. Sessions can reduce pain and tension, bring ease of movement, a sense of calm and breathing can become freer.
The work supports the nervous system to self-regulate and helps to create balance in the pelvic structures, to "help babies to align more optimally for birth" Jenny Blyth (Trainer - Spinning Babies)

I was fortunate to train with Jenny Blyth & Hugh Churchward in 2021 (Integrating Body and Mind During Pregnancy). The course provided hands-on methods for supporting expectant mums and their babies during pregnancy. It drew on Jenny's knowledge & experience as a Birthworker & Spinning Babies trainer and Hugh's extensive Ortho-Bionomy experience.
"Ortho-Bionomy principles and techniques have informed and been a mainstay of my birthwork practice for over 20 years - gently and effectively supporting the great body changes that accompany pregnancy, birth and beyond" - Jenny Blyth, Independent Birthworker, Bodyworker and Birth Educator, & Spinning Babies® Approved Trainer.
In 1999 I trained as a Pre and Post Natal Yoga Teacher with Eve Grybowkski & Mardi Kendall and went on to teach Pre and Post Natal Yoga at The Australian School of Yoga (Bondi Junction). Whilst I no longer teach yoga, this experience informs what I bring to my bodywork.
