Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interview with Lynn Schulte, PT: Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy: How to Physically Prepare for and Recover Well from Childbirth
Q: How does one push effectively during birth without causing pelvic floor strain?
By releasing the pelvic floor, aligning the pelvis, and practicing various pushing positions (sideline, hands-and-knees, tall kneeling) to allow for natural contraction and easier expulsion.
Interview with Lynn Schulte, PT: Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy: How to Physically Prepare for and Recover Well from Childbirth
Q: What are the most common issues for women during pregnancy and postpartum?
Pelvic and back pain are frequent during pregnancy, often tied to how the uterus and ligaments are positioned; addressing these mechanics early can influence labor and postpartum recovery.
Interview with Lynn Schulte, PT: Part 2: Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy: How to Prepare for and Recover Well from Childbirth
Q: Can you share more about your certification process for birth professionals?
The certification deepens practitioners' learning, requiring licensing to touch, and ensuring they demonstrate competency through case studies, assessments, and completed training, with certified professionals prioritized in searchable directories.
Interview with Cherionna Menzam Sills part 2: How Our Earliest Experiences Shape Attachment, Healing, and Human Potential
Q: I have one more question for you, Cherionna. Can you share how biodynamic craniosacral therapy is helpful for expecting parents and their babies?
It offers a gentle, energetically guided method to settle the nervous system of both mother and baby, supporting the baby's capacity to bond and the mother's ability to feel safe and grounded, which lays a foundation for healthier attachment and easier newborn settling.
Interview with Holly Lammer part two: Mindful Birthing: A Transformative Journey
Q: How do mindfulness practices apply after birth and into parenting?
Mindfulness helps parents regulate their nervous systems, let go of attachments to every feeling, and stay present with the baby, which supports bonding, safety, and smoother parenting transitions.
