What Practitioners Say About Our Courses

“I am a doctor of physical therapy and this course gave me little nuggets of education and manual skills that I did not get from school or from my training for internal pelvic floor work. I am so excited to utilize this knowledge on my pregnant mamas.”

Cheyenne H., Physical Therapist

“This is a must take course. My understanding of the pregnant body and the treatments to support pregnancy and labor and delivery have exploded with possibility. The treatments are gentle and extremely effective.”

Catherine N., Physical Therapist

“This course went above and beyond in providing a good understanding of how to work with pregnant individuals to assess and treat their pain and help prepare their bodies for labor. I was able to implement the material I learned the next day with my patients, provide excellent education and give them a better outcome with birthing their baby!”

Tia U., Physical Therapist

“The course was very good and exactly the hands on practice I was looking for. Lynn is a talented teacher and an excellent therapist. As a beginner in this field I found her way of teaching very accessible, I learned so much from this course. I also healed something during the course that was an issue for many, many years! Lynn gives you more in this course than you can imagine.”

Pragna W., Occupational Therapist

“This course has been more than I expected! So informative and instruction is excellent. I can’t wait to bring these techniques to my clients!! I think my effectiveness as a pelvic floor therapist has greatly increased when working with pregnant clients. I am so excited!”

Hilary V., Occupational Therapist

“This helped me increase my confidence and knowledge when working with pregnant women. I felt like I was coming up short or unsure prior to taking this course and now I feel I have more to offer each pregnant patient that comes to me.”

Jody H., Physical Therapist

“The best manual based pelvic physical therapy course I have taken as of yet. It goes into more treatment than other courses I have taken. It helped round out my knowledge in pelvic PT. Thank you, Lynn!”

Elony M., Physical Therapist

“Since I have taken this course I have gleaned so many techniques and knowledge which has helped so many birthing people prepare for labor and delivery. They often tell me how much more confident they feel going into birth after using these techniques :)”

Kerry T., Physical Therapist

“This was by far the best continuing education course I have taken. I took the Pregnant Body course in person and not only do you get to practice your skills with Lynn but you can look back at all the videos she has created if you need to! Thank you for bridging the gap between mind, body, and soul to make way for a new era of healthcare.”

Meaghan S., Physical Therapist

“An excellent class to truly understand birth mechanics and how to best support our pregnant patients. Lots of hands on and 1:1 learning that I have not experienced in other classes. A must take if you are looking to improve and fine tune your manual skills! Lynn and company really take the time to look at the pregnant Mama from the perspective of the mind and the body.”

Melinda D., Physical Therapist

“This is such a phenomenal course and resource. The information I learned in this course was immediately applicable to many of the clients I am seeing in my private practice and has enhanced my clinical “toolbox” immensely! The holistic approach which takes into account all of the various tissues of the body, as well as the energetic body, provided me with a much deeper knowledge and understanding of how I can best support the pregnant body. Thank you so much!”

Juliana S., Physical Therapist
