About this episode
We talk a lot about intuition in the pregnancy and birth space. But intuition isn’t something you magically access when labor starts. It’s something you strengthen — and it starts in the body.
In this episode, I sit down with kinesiologist and Pilates specialist Rachael Robertson to explore how embodied movement builds trust, awareness, and nervous system regulation.
We discuss:
- What embodiment actually means (and why so many women feel disconnected)
- How chronic tension, old injuries, and overtraining impact intuition
- The link between nervous system safety and physiological birth
- Why pelvic stability and breathwork matter long before labor begins
- Movement as preparation for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
- How to stop overriding your body and start listening to it
This conversation is about rebuilding strength without force — and developing the kind of body awareness that carries into labor, motherhood, and everyday life.
