Birth Strength (Childbirth Education Programs) – Gerringong, NSW
The Birth Strength learning series empower, inspire and prepare expectant parents for the wonders of pregnancy & childbirth, as well as reducing anxiety and fear of birth injury, and enhancing birth outcomes.
About the classes
Birth strength is a childbirth education program that boasts a fusion of pelvic floor strengthening, mindfulness & education for pregnancy & childbirth. The program is led by mother & pelvic floor & continence physiotherapist, Julia Berger.
Pelvic floor master classes aim to connect and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles to reduce the risk of bladder and bowel dysfunction and enhance the birthing process.
Embracing the mind body connection through mindful meditation allows us to befriend uncertainty and meet childbirth with awareness, calmness and clarity.
Calm & Connection Physiotherapy is passionate about empowering couples to lead a meaningful and healthy pregnancy with better mental and physical outcomes for childbirth.
Julia is trained with the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute and is a registered physiotherapist and member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association, The Continence Foundation of Australia and Women’s Health Training Associates. Read more about Julia.
