In this episode, Dayna and Rhonda have the pleasure of chatting with one of our colleagues and fellow Canadian physiotherapists, Anita Lambert!
Anita Lambert is the owner of Holistic Health Physiotherapy, creator of the Bump to Birth Method and co-host of the To Birth & Beyond podcast.
She’s a mom of two and a perinatal pelvic health physiotherapist with a focus on prenatal and postpartum care. She is also one of the select few physiotherapists in Canada to complete physiodoula training (which she also assists in teaching to other physiotherapists).
She’s passionate about helping clients connect with their body and pelvic floor, plus teach strategies to keep clients active and comfortable during pregnancy. She also loves to help clients navigate postpartum recovery and return to exercise (including sports and dance) without pain or pelvic floor symptoms.
We’re so grateful for Anita for sharing her passion and wisdom with us. We touch on a lot of topics in this episode including:
🔹How Anita got into the physiotherapy profession and why she decided to focus on pelvic health
🔹Her two pregnancy and birth experiences and what surprised her most about them
🔹Advice she gives her clients regarding exercise during pregnancy
🔹How she uses her unique expertise to help her clients prepare for birth
🔹Why she thinks it’s so important to help her clients prepare for postpartum during pregnancy
🔹The importance of rest and seeking out support postpartum
🔹Her experience being a physiodoula
Enjoy! ☕️🧘🏻♀️
