This week, the girls sit down with the incredible Gabrielle from G.Lorri Labour Bodywork to chat all things pregnancy, body preparation and labour support. If you’re pregnant, planning to be, or curious about how bodywork can support birth, this episode is full of insight, warmth and practical wisdom.
Together they explore:
How bodywork can support labour progress and reduce tension
Breath, movement and positioning as birth preparation
Why pelvic mobility, soft tissue work and body awareness matter
The link between nervous system safety and labour outcomes
How to prepare your body gently and intentionally throughout pregnancy
Beth and Lil also share their frustrations around how birth and bodywork aren’t always easily accessible — and why they believe every woman deserves to feel supported in these ways.
