Prenatal Pilates & Push Prep

Prepare for an empowering birth

Endorsed by Ob Gyn’s, Midwives and Pelvic PT’s, our 8-week Prenatal Pilates & Push Prep Course teaches you how to mentally & physically prepare for an empowered birth and smooth postpartum recovery.

Prevent excessive diastasis recti (abdominal separation), bladder leaks and pelvic organ prolapse by learning to regulate intra-abdominal pressure. Improve back and ‘SPD’ pelvic pain. Reduce pelvic floor trauma with better pushing techniques – with or without an epidural! Arm yourself with evidence based education that you won’t find in traditional birth prep classes!

Testimonials

  • I have to say that your Push Prep course was the single greatest prep for my labor, which was a 36 hour affair. In the end, I was able to deliver my baby vaginally with just 7 mins of pushing...and no tearing even though she had shoulder dystocia and didn’t turn from a right side posterior position! My midwives were so impressed with my pushing, which I credit to your class. At the end of a long saga, I insisted that I would not be doing any “purple pushing,” and was actually met with resistance until I started pushing with your technique and was literally cheered on by the delivery squad. Thank you SO much for your knowledge and encouragement. It was invaluable during my birthing experience.

  • First off, I have to thank YOU for the amazing platform and community you’ve built for us all to learn from. If there’s a silver lining of being pregnant during a pandemic, it’s been stumbling upon your Instagram account and joining your Prenatal Push Prep class to help prepare for the birth of my first child. I can say with 100% confidence, your classes were the BEST investment I could have made for myself during my pregnancy.
    I had the unmedicated, natural birth of my dreams. It’s true what they say, you forget about all the “pain” instantly. My recovery has been easier than I had anticipated and each day I feel stronger and more confident as a FTM.  I can’t wait to join the postnatal classes! Thank you, again! You’ve been a true inspiration and guiding light throughout the last 10 months of my life.

  • After a challenging birth for my first child, I knew I wanted to learn all that I could to achieve a different outcome for my second. These programs [the Bump Method Online and the Prenatal Pilates & Push Prep 8-week course] are filled with amazing coaching and research-based movements for you to learn at your own pace and on your own schedule! What a world of difference I experienced in my second birth, entering into the delivery with knowledge of how to position my body, relaxation and breathing techniques, and a deep understanding of proper muscle engagement for pushing. These programs are one-of-kind resources that will empower and prepare you for all types of birth!
