The jaw and pelvic floor are very closely intertwined, especially when we are discussing pregnancy + child birth.

Try this for a minute: unclench your jaw, take a deep breath and soften… you will notice your pelvic floor is able to soften and relax along with that.

Let’s talk about it! 🗣️

We have a connection with the pelvic floor + jaw with :
• fascial + muscular - when the fascia is tight in one area it generally also tightens in the other as well.

• nervous system - fight or flight signals to the jaw/pelvic floor tension. Safely to the nervous system allows softening to both mechanisms.

• breath - The diaphragm works in tandem with the pelvic floor. When the jaw is tight, breathing tends to be shallow, which limits the natural rise-and-fall movement of the pelvic floor.

💡 A practical tip for labor:

A soft open jaw = a soft open pelvic floor = smoother birth.

Postpartum goes well beyond the first 6 weeks. 🗓️Depending on who you ask it can actually look more like the entire first year - 18 months.

Somewhere along the way, we’ve been told that the “six-week check-up” marks the finish line of recovery.

But the truth is, healing and adjusting after birth takes time and in many ways, it’s a lifelong journey.

Your body is still recalibrating, your hormones are still shifting, and your heart and mind are still learning the rhythms of life with your baby. Six weeks is only the beginning.

✨ This is why caring for yourself matters:
• Because rest is not indulgent—it’s essential.
• Because nourishing your body fuels your healing.
• Because tending to your emotional and mental well-being helps you show up fully for your baby and yourself.
• Because when you thrive, your family thrives.

Postpartum is a season, not a number on the calendar. Give yourself permission to continue receiving support, slowing down, and honoring your needs well beyond that six-week mark.

Birth is not a privilege. It’s a right. 👊🏼
Women must always hold the power to decide what feels right for their body, their baby, and their birth.

This is where our passion is within midwifery led care 🙌🏼

✨ The Hormones of Labor ✨

Your body is wise—it releases just the right mix of hormones to guide labor and birth. Here are the key players:

✨Oxytocin – the “love hormone” that powers contractions, helps the cervix open, and encourages bonding.
✨Prostaglandins – soften and ripen the cervix, preparing it for dilation.
✨Endorphins – natural pain relievers that bring calm and help you cope.
✨Catecholamines (adrenaline & noradrenaline) – give energy and alertness in the pushing stage, but too much stress can stall early labor.

Your body truly knows how to work with you and your baby.

When you are in our care you have an hour for your prenatal visits.

Within that hour we give space for you to ask your questions and then we go over our education + questions for you based on gestation.

We also listen to baby via Doppler or fetascope, palpate baby’s position, measure your belly and do basic vitals on you.

During your visits we are also getting to know YOU. We are building trust with each other, hearing about your concerns, wishes and desires for birth.

Prenatal visits are much more than just a check in.

They are part of the foundation ✨

How do we change the world for our kids? Like this.

Let them see you cared for by loving hands. Let them be a part of it all. Let them see you asked “Can I touch your belly?” so they know how their body should be treated.

Let them see you respected and loved. Let them see you vulnerable and also powerful all at once.

Let them watch. Your story will become their deep knowing ❤️
