Sinéad’s #1 Tip:
“I want people to know that pregnancy related kind of aches and pains is very different than pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain. So it's important that people kind of understand that outta the gate. So that way if you self-identify yourself in this now umbrella of pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain, now where this, in this nociplastic pain, you can immediately understand you need to go to someone to get some guidance and some help. Ideally, someone who has some understanding and pain science. It doesn't even matter if they don't even live in your same country because most of this care can be delivered really well virtually. Sometimes you'll only need one or two consultations with a skilled person to be able to kind of figure things out and get on track.”

Christina’s #1 Tip:
“Your body is strong and your body is resilient. And if pelvic issues come up, we know how to handle them. But that does not mean that your body is not strong and that your body is not resilient. It's just rehab.”

Laura’s #1 Tip:
“For clients, for families that are pregnant or having babies, my one piece of advice is dig deep and listen to your intuition, trust yourself, and then also really trust your baby. It's a relationship that's going to last, forever. So start that relationship really, really young where you have this relationship of trust between the two of you. And it pays often and is pretty cool when you can have older kids that still trust you. So start at a young age.”
“For professionals, I would just say be yourself as an educator or a doula and don't be afraid to really jump in there and do it. If you have a passion for it, jump in and do it, but then do it as yourself. A lot of times when I train people, a lot of times people become a doula because they had a doula, and they love their doula, but then they kind of try to be their doula. Follow your passions and be yourself as a doula or an educator because people are going to be attracted to you for you. But if you're trying to put on somebody else, you're gonna struggle with that because you're not going to be as natural with people are going to pick up on that.”
