In this weeks episode of the podcast, I am chatting with Emily Carson from @emilyandruby who is a somatic practitioner, acupuncturist and craniosacral therapist. She talks us through her knowledge about the body and helps us to think about preparing for birth and postpartum.  In particular, Emily shares the importance of regulating your nervous system and supporting the tissues in your pelvis. She believes that pelvic floor recovery requires a much more nuanced approach than just kegels, and helps us to understand how the jaw and pelvic floor are connected. This a fascinating episode which is full of useful information for women at all stages of life, including pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum, peri-menopause and post menopause. So please feel free to share it widely - and let us know your thoughts.
