Ep. 31 - How to BEST prepare for a positive birth experience while protecting your Pelvic Floor and a full postpartum recovery with Chantal Traub Your Pelvic Health

Chantal Traub is a prominent New York City birth facilitator, doula, childbirth educator and wellness coach. In her 20-plus years in practice, she has become internationally acclaimed for her expertise on the pelvic floor and her Pushing Power technique. Early on, Traub identified a severe lack of preparation among birthing people for the pushing stage of labor. Thus began a mission to properly educate and teach birthing moms—and professionals in the field—to better understand the pelvic floor; through her classes, her one-on-one work and her doula practice, Traub has helped thousands of women birth babies without tearing and without episiotomies. Traub speaks often on the subject of pelvic floor health and safe, effective pushing. In recent years, Traub has expanded her training and practice to be able to serve the health needs of women of all ages and at all life stages.
