As a Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher and certified Pre/Postnatal Fitness Specialist, Laura believes in the value of movement as a way to prepare your body for labour. Building strength, mobility, and mindfulness are all vital in preventing injury to your pelvic floor and core, as well as creating a deep mind-body connection. This mind-body connection in pregnancy has been shown to improve birth outcomes by decreasing the length of labour and optimizing fetal positioning. Book a group class here.

After baby is born, taking time to heal and reconnect with your body is crucial; rest is the most important aspect of this. When you’re ready, Laura can help guide you through gentle sessions to promote connection, increase circulation, and re-build strength. She can also help heal pelvic floor dysfunction and diastasis recti in conjunction with your provider.

All prenatal and postpartum sessions with Laura incorporate a combination of yoga, release work, and strength training suitable for all fitness levels. Each personalized session can be practiced from the comfort of your own home, either in-person or virtually.
