The Course
If you're reading this, you are likely pregnant or hoping to become pregnant in the near future. Congratulations! Pregnancy is such an exciting time but can also be incredibly daunting with information overload and confusion around which information to trust. The Femme Space Pregnancy and Birth Preparation Online Program has been designed to provide you with all of the knowledge and skills you need to ensure your pregnancy and childbirth are as smooth as possible.
This comprehensive online course is designed and led by a Women’s Health Physiotherapist to guide you through pregnancy and prepare your body for birth and recovery. You’ll learn practical, evidence-based strategies to support your pelvic floor, core, and overall well-being during this important season of life.
While this course offers expert physiotherapy-led education, it is not a substitute for an in-person physiotherapy assessment, where your care can be tailored specifically to you. It is also not intended to replace midwife-led antenatal courses, as it does not cover parenting or newborn care.
Instead, this course complements your existing support, giving you the confidence and knowledge to move through pregnancy and into postpartum feeling strong, supported, and empowered.
What you will learn
The goal of the program is to EMPOWER you. I am a firm believer that knowledge is power. It’s easy to avoid exploring and talking about the less appealing parts of pregnancy and childbirth but I guarantee you, if you arm yourself with all the knowledge going into your childbirth, you will come out of it with a much more positive experience.
Each module consists of a video and information handout(s). The videos are short and easily digestible for anyone with baby-brain.
