The Pregnant Pelvis

🙌🏻 Massage is safe and effective in ALL TRIMESTERS of pregnancy. Every pregnant person deserves care and shouldn’t be discriminated against based on their gestation.

🙌🏻 Prenatal massage therapists are health care providers who have specialized training to perform orthopaedic assessment and treatment tailored to one’s pregnant body and stages of pregnancy.

🙌🏻 Getting your legs, ankles and feet massaged is perfectly safe and should not be feared.

🙌🏻 Your pregnant belly and how it relates to your pelvis, ribcage and spine can set the stage for your birth. There’s so much important work that can be done on and around that beautiful bump.

🙌🏻 Pelvic girdle pain is not a waiting game. This is a nuanced condition where a clinician can offered tailored treatment and support a self-managed home care routine.

🙌🏻 Round ligament pain can be treated from a variety of different hands on applications and self-care strategies. There is help!

🙌🏻 Being pregnant shouldn’t immediately put a red flag on your chart. Find someone who is comfortable, confident and competent in their abilities to treat you like the absolute goddess you are.

There’s something I’ll always make room for in my practice — babies. 🤍

Even when the days are busy, if a little bub needs some extra support, I’ll always do my best to find a way to see them.

Those early days can feel like a lot for parents, and sometimes having someone say, “Let’s take a look,” can make all the difference.

Birth prep doesn’t have to be complicated. You just need to prep the right things.

We’ve got your back. 🤍

Movement-based birth prep for the body you’re bringing to birth.

Registration: Wolseley Wellness Centre on Corydon

Created & taught by
Stephanie Maxwell | perinatal massage therapy
Equanimity Birth & Wellness

Birth preparation starts with understanding your body.

The more you understand, the more you learn to MOVE with it. To ride the waves, the ebb and flow of contractions and breath.

Your pelvis isn’t static.
Your pelvic floor isn’t just about “strength.”
And birth isn’t something you have to stay still for.

✨ Move
✨ Breathe
✨ Release
✨ Explore
✨ Connect
✨ Prepare

Our Pelvic Floor Movement-Based Birth Prep Workshop will give you practical, body-based tools to take into pregnancy, labour, and birth.

No perfect positions.
No “one size fits all.”
Just more options and more confidence in your body.

Humbled & grateful for the journey, the growth, and the opportunity to learn.

What an amazing week!

Meaghan Beames CST | Learn Craniosacral for babies was exceptionally generous with her knowledge & experience.

So many thanks to Meaghan & the Beames family.

This course was filled with inspiring women who also freely share their knowledge, wisdom and expertise: IBCLC’s, doulas, occupational therapists, dental hygienists, and speech language pathologists. Surrounded by beautiful humans 🤍 and a little FIFA action!

Pride, more than a celebration.

A reminder to support, uplift, and stand with LGBTQ+ communities.

Today and every day.

Everyone deserves to live openly, safely, and proudly. 🌈❤️
