Prenatal Essentials Course
This evidence-based course helps new and experienced parents feel empowered and prepared for birth. Just as you wouldn’t train for an athletic event without preparation, birth deserves the same intention, with practical strategies for each phase of labor.

- Basic anatomy and function of the pelvic floor
- Exercise during pregnancy

- Phases of labor and what movements to do during each
- How to relax your pelvic floor when pushing

- Diastasis Recti

Let Us Support You in This Journey
Research shows that, in addition to regular nursing care, continuous labor support such as a birth partner or doula can:
- Reduce C-section rates
- Shorten labor
- Lead to fewer reports of dissatisfied labor
- Decrease the need for analgesia
We help ensure your birth partner feels prepared and able to help support you through this process.
Client Reviews
"Absolutely love! 5 months postpartum and I feel so strong and capable of more than what I thought I could be. Dr. Kelly and Dr. Priya provide such a personal experience to your care and have a variety of options for their strength training and pelvic floor and Pilates reformer. All to help you get strong after pregnancy. I didn’t go during my pregnancy, but plan to next time so I can maintain the strength I have gained coming here."
-Laura L.
"I love Dr. Kelly! She was very knowledgable and helpful to integrate working out while pregnant. She always listened to my concerns and answered questions when I had them. Her suggestions helped ease pain as well as stay strong before delivery! 10/10 would recommend Pelvic Floor PT with her! Although, I would trust her with other physical issues if they were to arise! You won't be disappointed!"
-Samantha H.
"Priya and Kelly were wonderful in helping me with my diastasis recti. Thanks to their support, I now have a stronger core and can better engage those muscles to help prevent back pain. They truly listen and are committed to helping you reach your goals."
