About this episode

We are back with a super informative episode with Clare Bourne, a friend, specialist pelvic health physiotherapist and author of strong foundations.

Clare shares why loving your pelvic floor truly leads to a better birthing experience and why so many women miss it! We also delve into how society has taught us to disconnect from the pelvic floor and how we can reconnect with our bodies!
