The weeks following birth are not still. They are not empty. They are full of subtle, essential motion — not the kind we’re often taught to seek, but the kind your tissues are already asking for.

Birth is a biomechanical event.

The bigger picture behind the suture/no-suture debate.
In the birth world, the question of whether or not to suture vaginal tears can feel like a line in the sand — a binary rooted in two opposing cultures. On one side, the medical model insists on suturing everything. On the other hand, some corn...

If you know me at all then you know I'm reading historical non fiction, or fiction, written by women.

As you may have seen in my recent instagram reel, I'm not a fan,

If you are like most people and not sure how this relates to pelvic health, don't worry, in this video I'll connect the dots for you!
