Online Workshop:
Prep Your Pregnant Pelvis
If you're quiety worried about how on earth the baby gets out of there, perhaps you've heard some stories about postnatal recovery, or you might be starting to get some annoying niggles in your pelvis - if any of these are you, please do join us.This workshop is here to help you understand some pelvis basics so you can:
- feel more comfortable - especially if you have a desk job
- learn simple movements and get tips for everyday
- prepare your pelvis for birth (spoiler, it's not kegels)
The pelvis is such an amazing part of the body.
And even more so in pregnancy, when we're holding this growing life and adapting around them. Your center of gravity is shifting as your baby grows, so it's no wonder that things can get uncomforable if you're not adapting.
Building on years of experience working with hundreds of women, Emilie shares the 8 foundations she wishes people understood sooner - before they start looking for treatment for back pain.
What are sessions like?
"The best thing has been having the space to slow down and feel into my body."
- Chloe, Frome
“Emilie helped me feel more in control, less apprehensive and to know what to expect, so I could navigate a calmer way through birth - knowing how to listen and respond to my body.”
- Alice, Bristol
“Emilie has really helped me to breathe, stretch and properly listen to my body. "
- Susie, Brighton

A 90-minute live online workshop where you'll learn practical, embodied skills to support your body through pregnancy and prepare for birth - whatever type birth you're planning.
This isn't about doing hundreds of pelvic floor squeezes or building a rigid birth plan. It's about understanding how your body works, building awareness, and setting yourself up as well as possible for birth and beyond.
You'll be guided through experiencing the anatomy of your pelvis and learn the 8 exercises I wish everyone started sooner in pregnancy.
Suitable and safe for all stages of pregnancy

What's different ?
✅ Shift habits
Many people find the work week 'undoes' the benefits they get from pregnancy yoga or prenatal massage. This is about getting some helpful ideas for everyday life in place.
❌ The focus is not on squeezes
We'll cover how to find your pelvic floor muscles, learn about how they work and give you options for funtional prenatal and postnatal movement.
✅ Trauma Informed
Emilie's a certified embodied trauma coach and works sensitively.
❌ Not a pregnancy yoga class
My background is in prenatal yoga, but this builds on that to offer a modern, biomechanics informed approach that's not about hip openers or pelvic squeezes.
✅ Whole Body Approach
That means your emotions too. Rather than just looking at the pelvic floor in isolation, we'll be integrating the whole of you. This approach involves moving your body well and treating yourself with kindness.
❌ No stress
This isn't a class. It's more of a reset.
Little and often - no need to roll out a yoga mat to get started. Building core foundations, calming your nervous system and building awareness.
Pregnancy does not need to be uncomfortable.
Learning more about your body can help you prepare for birth and postpartum in a way that's nurturing, supportive and adapted to you.
Many people are disconnected from their bodies - and no wonder. Our jobs and lives involve a lot of sitting and a lot more thinking than feeling or noticing.
Squeezes are not the cure-all that we're sold. Bodies need balance, strength, ease and space in order to respond.
Emilie's training
Solidly based in anatomy, embodiment and practical biomechanics.
As well as the trainings below, Emilie's completed an in-person training with Katy Bowman of Nutritious Movement, is a fully qualified yoga teacher, with pregnancy and postnatal training at Triyoga in London with Nadia Narain.

Franklin Method Pelvic Facia Trainer
The Franklin Method is a highly effective, evidence-based approach to movement education focusing on the body and its function.
It has been practiced for some 30 years and taught at numerous illustrious institutions around the globe.
Dynamic Neurocognitive Imagery is at the heart of the Franklin Method – this is the use of metaphorical mental imagery to support the development of healthy physical function, strength, mobility and coordination. In other words, we combine visualization techniques with physical exercises to improve movement.

Pelvic Pain Relief + PRESS Yoga
Isa Herrera’s approach to pelvic pain relief weaves together science, movement, and deep body awareness. Her PRESS Yoga method is an blend of breathwork, myofascial release, therapeutic yoga, and evidence-based pelvic floor techniques.
Rather than treating pelvic pain as an isolated issue, Herrera’s work honours the intricate web of mind, muscles, and fascia, guiding people toward resilience and ease with gentle yet transformative practices.
Isa Herrera is a physiotherapist specialising in pelvic floor health, with a background in integrative women's health. She's the author of 5 books on pelvic wellbeing.
