Ep 41 BIRTHFIT Prenatal Chiropractor and Leader Dr. Ashley Harper

March 09, 2022 • Dr. Shannon and Doula Rachael • Episode 41

Dr. Ashley Harper joins us on the show to talk all about B!RTHF!T. We’ve mentioned this program on several episodes before, but today, we get to define what exactly BIRTHFIT is with leader/coach and prenatal chiropractor, Dr. Ashley. She has a wonderful exercise background and she uses that knowledge with her chiropractic training to help expectant parents keep their physical bodies prepared for upcoming birth as well as supporting people postpartum. Birthfit has an amazing foundation in movement, but how to live an overall wellness lifestyle is a big part of the classes too.
In this episode we talk about:

What is BIRTHFIT and what are the foundations (the 9 core values)
What does it offer prenatal and postpartum moms (or even non-pregnant people)
How are the classes structured (online vs in-person and community)
Why is breathwork important (breath is life - and it’s connected to the pelvic floor)
How does it help with birth and postpartum
How Dr. Ashley found BIRTHFIT during school and the impact it made during her postpartum (more on that in part 2!)
