What makes this 7-day course different than other birth courses?

The 7-Day Preparing for Birth Course is a wealth of information about labour and birth preparation as well as postpartum recovery.

This is different than other courses on the market claiming to help you prepare your body for birth because they are missing two HUGE components – your core and pelvic floor health as well as your recovery after your baby arrives.

My 7-day course is designed to provide you with all the information you need to maintain the health of your pelvic floor and core during pregnancy, approach your due date with techniques + exercises to minimize tearing and progress through labour smoothly, and protect your pelvic floor and abdominal wall when it's time to push!

I have helped hundreds of expecting moms prepare their body for birth, recover faster, and return to exercise quicker, while minimizing complications and I have condensed everything you need to know into 7 days of educational and active workshops that you have access to for a full year.

With one year access to seven active and educational workshops, feel confident and prepared for your birth - know what to expect going into labour and how to care for your body after your baby arrives.

This course will…

greater awareness around the role of your pelvic floor & core in childbirth

with effective tools and techniques to manage pain and optimize your body mechanics for smoother progression through labour and birth

for what to expect postpartum, including how to protect your core and pelvic floor in those first few crucial months and how to safely return to exercise & intercourse

    “This class was incredible! I learned a ton about the pelvic floor. Hayley explained everything at a great pace and really answered all questions in detail. She is full of knowledge and I will have her to thank for a better & controlled delivery! Looking forward to all of the breathing techniques and exercises to come!”

    Birth is like a marathon — preparation and training can prevent injury and improve recovery.

    Labour and birth can be 3-6x longer than the average time it takes to run a marathon. Just like you wouldn’t put your body through a marathon without training for months in advance, labour and birth is a major event with better outcomes for your body and mind when you take the time to prepare beforehand.

    You are capable of doing this all on your own! But similar to running a marathon, without preparation and training injuries can happen and recovery can be more difficult. Having a smooth postpartum recovery is what most mothers claim makes the biggest difference in their overall experience, as they have more time to focus on their newborn baby and suffer less pain with returning to exercise, resuming intercourse again, and accomplishing day-to-day activities as a new mom.

    After this course, you will walk away with…

    • A deeper understanding of how your core and pelvic floor are involved in labour and birth

    • What you can do to minimize trauma to the pelvic floor and perineum that can occur with prolonged labour & forceful pushing

    • An understanding of how to breathe and connect with your pelvic floor during movement to protect your body during pregnancy, labour, birth, and for the years to come

    • Techniques to help prevent core and pelvic floor dysfunction

    • Products you can use to help with birth prep and recovery

    • The confidence to prepare your body for birth

    • What to expect when it comes to your pelvic floor and core health after giving birth, and what to do/what to avoid in the first year (for vaginal and cesarean births)

    • Recover faster and return to exercise quicker after giving birth

    I will help you achieve this through:

    • 3 educational workshops

    • 2 active movement workshops

    • 1 guided mama-to-be meditation

    • 1 guided prenatal yoga flow

    • 1 bonus workshop: Pain Management During Labour + Delivery

    Join me for seven days of focused labour and birth preparation designed to prepare your body and mind for one of the biggest events of your life.

    “As a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist, I have worked with hundreds of expecting moms from conception to birth to prepare them for labour and delivery. The best part of my job is hearing how much this preparation has helped them and physically measuring better outcomes for their core and pelvic floor after birth.”

    “I love every aspect of the Preparing for Birth program! The summer program lined up perfectly for me as it ends a week before my due date. I was looking for something to get my body moving and better preparing it for the upcoming delivery of my baby girl. This program ticks all of the boxes for me! It includes a variety of workouts that can be completed either live or on-demand (consisting of strength training, core & pelvic floor, and yoga). It also includes extremely informative workshops covering a variety of interesting and useful topics for preparing for childbirth as well as postpartum.”

    “I had completed the Preparing for Birth course during my second trimester and loved how Hayley motivated me to move my body and learn about the process of pregnancy safely and effectively, which prompted me to continue the program into the end of my pregnancy. This is such a unique and informative program where you can challenge yourself and trust that you are working with female professionals who focus on women's health, and it's fun! I have had such a wonderful time with each workout, Hayley is so motivating and it makes the workouts and classes go by so quickly!”

    “What makes the program the most unique is that I can trust what I am doing is safe for my pregnancy. Anyone can workout or find youtube videos especially nowadays, but to work with [a] female professional who [is] educated and knowledgable on women's health is really impactful. This program is so unique and I am really glad I found it as I feel it kept me motivated to move almost everyday as I replay a lot of the classes throughout the week.”
