Pregnancy with Physio Laura

Welcome to another solo episode with me, chatting about best positions for labour and birth.

Whilst we have evidence for how certain positions are advantageous compared to others, labour and brith positioning is mostly about being in tune with yourself. Trusting your baby and your body to send you the messages it needs to. Moving intuitively and without noise and external distractions.

Welcome to a solo episode with me, chatting all about a concept my husband and I live by - the “prune & bloom”.

This concept is all about creating space in your life for all the beautiful things to blossom. 

Often we think if we want to create positive change then we need to “add” more things.

Often I’ve found the opposite to be true.

The more you prune and remove, the more space there is for the positive change to be welcomed in.

Enjoy this episode and jump on over to @physiolaura to let me know what you loved about this and whether any of it resonated with you and your own life right now. 

And if you’re pregnant and you’d like to be supported by me for every single week of your pregnancy plus educate yourself on empowered pregnancy and birth then I encourage you to trial my online program The Pregnancy Posse.
