1 on 1 Coaching for Pregnancy with Scoliosis & Fusion

Personalized coaching with individualized support for your specific body and individual needs so that you can feel confident and prepared for the pregnancy & delivery you dream about.

Why you should work with a pregnancy coach

  • There are a lot of unknowns surrounding pregnancy and childbirth, particularly when you have a spinal condition.

  • Fear based marketing & unhelpful social media forums with lack of skilled professional advice can lead to more anxiety and insecurity about the pregnancy & birth process.

  • Knowing your specific considerations for late stage pregnancy, delivery & postpartum improves your confidence & ability to feel calmer going into labor & delivery.

  • Coaching can help you prepare for the expected and even the unexpected, improving your chances of the outcome you’re wanting.

  • One on one support with a coach provides you with actionable, tactical steps to tackle any roadblocks that come up along the way.

  • A coach can assist you with programming or provide exercises to modify your fitness routine or manage any pain which could happen during pregnancy.

How Your Coaching Program Works

Your pregnancy journey is as unique as your spine and you are, so your coaching may look very different than someone else’s. This program is designed to be flexible and tailored to meet your specific needs. As a coaching client you are granted a formal monthly coaching call, full access to me with your questions via email or Voxer, as well as access to all my pre-recorded pregnancy content. You can begin coaching wherever you are in your journey to baby — if you’re planning on getting pregnant or if you are already pregnant — and you are allowed to continue coaching as long postpartum as you need to recover from delivery and return to your preferred fitness activities.

What’s Actually Included

60-minute Initial Introduction/ Kick-Off Call
Your scoliosis journey is uniquely yours, as will be your pregnancy. The introductory call is how I learn your specific medical background, your journey with scoliosis and/ or spinal fusion, and get to know your goals. I help you set initial goals and expectations, and together we develop an action plan to set you up for success. This may include determining your specific considerations for choosing your birthing team, troubleshooting a movement or pain issue, finding specific exercises or strategies to support your body, locating local birthing resources, and so forth.

30-minute Follow-up Monthly Calls
All currently enrolled coaching clients are entitled to monthly individual calls to be used for any concerns or support based on the stage of pregnancy (or pre-pregnancy). Again, the topic or focus of each month’s call may vary but sessions typically include discussions about pain management, modifying fitness routine, providing recommendations for more comfortable daily activities, any issues that are coming up for you surrounding body changes during pregnancy or birth prep.

Unlimited Voxer Support
A lot of questions can come up between coaching calls, and the anxiety can feel very real. Ask your questions realtime in this voice and messaging platform, with all questions answered within 36 hours. This can prove invaluable when preparing for a doctor’s visit, choosing your birth team, understanding a new symptom or preparing your baby registry.

Access to Online Learning & Birth Planning
All coaching clients gain access to both 90-minute pre-recorded webinars which cover everything you could ever need to know about pregnancy with scoliosis & spinal fusion, plus pregnancy & delivery prep. You will gain lifetime access to the password-protected recordings for you to review in the future, including any future pregnancies. Additionally, you will get access to my signature Pregnancy + Birth Prep guide to help you and your birth team be prepared for all possibilities during your baby’s birth.

Hi! I’m Dr. Laura!

I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from University of North Georgia. I’m proud to be an active member of the Academy of Pelvic Health as well as the Global Pelvic Health Alliance. I’ve completed Level 1 & 2 Schroth certification to assess & treat complex spinal conditions including scoliosis and kyphosis, and will have completed the third and final certification in November this year. I’ve also had two pregnancies & deliveries with a severe spinal curvature and fusion. I have supported countless women through their own pregnancy & postpartum experiences with scoliosis & spinal fusion, and have perfected my approach to helping women achieve their best pregnancy experience. I have trained a number of women in how to best regain strength and pain-free movement postpartum with scoliosis and spinal fusion.

With my experience & training I am uniquely qualified to meet your spinal and pelvic health needs during this time of life, with the added benefit of having been in your exact situation twice. I am the expert in pregnancy with scoliosis & spinal fusion and love helping women write their best pregnancy & birth story.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • It can be really powerful just to check in & have an expert chime in on what's to come in the next stage of pregnancy, or the next doctor's visit.

Here’s your chance for a healing birth.

In a world where so many women feel disempowered and traumatized by their birthing experience, this is one way to take control of your story and reach for an enlightened, empowered pregnancy & birth story.

The Price

Monthly coaching costs $197 a month and will roll over on a monthly basis until you no longer need support. For best effect I recommend most women participate in coaching no fewer than 4 months to allow the time to get a solid labor & delivery plan in place. Many women choose to remain in coaching until after their 6-week postpartum check in order to get more personalized insight into their return to sport, fitness or other activities after baby is here. You are always free to decide for yourself when you would like to end coaching.

Level up your pregnancy & delivery.
