Pelvic Floor Books
Jul 28, 2022If you prefer to read rather than do an online program, I have 4 books for you to choose from. Take some time to relax and unwind with a book that will educate and empower your health and wellbeing.
For Pregnancy and Childbirth
Prepare to Push™
This book informs and empowers women with an honest, loving, and no-fluff look at how pregnancy and birth change our bodies – and how to best support these changes.
It blends fitness principles with the supporting aspect of a doula to help women achieve a more comfortable pregnancy, a fabulous birth, and a body they feel confident in all the way through motherhood.
Here are a few things you will learn:
- How to prepare your body for birth using the principle of specificity
- Why you should adopt the traditional practices of mother roasting
- What core exercises to do in pregnancy
- Why the first 8 weeks postpartum are critical to your long-term health
- The best birth positions to minimize tearing
- The relationship between your pelvic floor and back pain.
- How to heal diastasis recti
- How to optimize pushing
- The spiritual and emotional connections to your pelvic floor
Pregnancy Fitness
In 2015, I was presenting at the canfitpro fitness conference with my former business partners from Bellies Inc. After our session, a woman came up to us and introduced herself as the acquisitions editor from Human Kinetics. She asked if we would be interested in authoring a book for them on prenatal exercise.
Of course, the answer was yes! It was also the catalyst for creating the Pre/Postnatal Fitness Specialist Certification. This book is free for anyone who takes the course.
