PRENATAL AND CHILDBIRTH WORKSHOPS
Preparation is the key to feeling empowered during your labor and delivery.
Prepping for labor & delivery can be overwhelming with all of the information, options, and opinions out there. Join Dr. Amanda, a pelvic floor PT and owner of ConqHER Pelvic Health for a ConqHER Labor & Delivery workshop and replace that overwhelm with knowledge and confidence for your labor and delivery experience!
What kind of birth are you planning? See how our prenatal workshops can benefit you:
Hospital, birth center, and home births
This workshop is focused on empowering you to create the labor & delivery experience you feel is best, no matter which birthing environment you choose.
Unmedicated birth
You’ll learn about how to work with your body best and other pain management techniques through the entire labor & delivery process, which are both imperative for the goal of a natural birth.
Epidural or medicated birth
There are still so many choices that you get to make if you choose a medicated birth and we will be going over how to best optimize labor and delivery with all of those options!
Hiring a doula
Doulas are wonderful resources for a comfortable labor & delivery experience. This workshop will help you work and communicate even better with your doula to create the labor experience that is in alignment with your wishes.
Planned cesarean delivery
A planned c-section may not get a ton of benefit out of this workshop as most of the education will be directed at navigating the full labor experience. However, I still highly recommend seeing a pelvic floor therapist following your delivery for guidance on appropriate postpartum healing and rehab!
See HERE for my birth wishes worksheet for a planned C-section delivery to help you prepare and go through your options with your doctor!
Feel overwhelm by all the conflicting childbirth info online?
It can be tough to cut through the noise and find out what you really need to know about labor and delivery. If you’re feeling anxious about giving birth, wondering how to prepare your body for the big day, and hoping for some guidance on how to work with your birth care team, then our labor and delivery workshops are just what you need.
We’ll help you reduce the fear and stress, understand what to expect, and learn how your partner can best support you during this crucial time. We’ll even cover the less-discussed aspects of postpartum life, so you’re not caught off guard.
Our workshops are designed to leave you feeling confident and empowered to make the right choices for your birth experience. You’ll gain a better understanding of your body’s capabilities during labor and delivery, and you’ll be equipped to ask questions and express your preferences with your medical team.
By the end, you’ll have the tools to communicate your wishes to your birthing partner so they can support you in a way that feels right for you. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of the pros and cons of various birth-related decisions, along with practical steps to prepare for labor, delivery, and immediate postpartum recovery.
Our goal is to give you the confidence and knowledge you need to embrace this journey with a sense of calm and control.

WHAT MAMAS ARE SAYING
“I went to see Amanda for a birth prep session and couldn’t have been happier with my experience. I left the session with so much knowledge, not just about how to prepare for birth, but also for what to expect afterwards. Amanda told me about many different exercises I could do prior to giving birth so I could best prepare my pelvic floor. We also talked through different tools for labor and how I could best advocate for myself and feel confident throughout the whole birthing experience. She left space for me to ask any and all questions I had, and made the whole session feel like such a safe and open space. I feel like I learned more through this session with Amanda than I did during my labor and delivery class. I couldn’t recommend Amanda more!”
