In many cultures, the postpartum period is a sacred time dedicated to healing, recovery, and rest.

• Birth story debriefing

• Mental health support

• Holistic remedies

• Guidance with infant feeding

• General infant care

• Baby-wearing education

• Cooking, meal prep, and baby-led weaning support

SLIDING SCALE: $28-$42/hour (plus HST; minimum 3 hours)

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 yoga class at The WOMB Guelph here, or contact Laura about one-on-one sessions.

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. Join a Baby & Me Yoga class at The WOMB Guelph, or contact to book a private session.

All prenatal and postpartum sessions with Laura incorporate a combination of yoga, release work, and strength training suitable for all fitness levels. One-on-one sessions can be practiced from the comfort of your own home.
