Build Up To Birth Custom Coaching
Your personalized training program for the strong, confident pregnancy and birth you've always envisioned.
You naturally want to know what’s coming, what to expect and what’s required so you can feel your best.
And there's no time this kicks into higher gear than in pregnancy.
But when you're in nagging pain, feeling depleted or aching in discomfort, your anxiety increases, doubt creeps in and your worry goes into overdrive.
Your capacity to prepare and the confidence you want to feel in the process can really take a hit.
In order to feel better we first need to hear the stories we're telling ourselves.
Maybe you find yourself feeling like:
→ you're stuck in a cycle, too sore and tired to move your body but know that moving will help you feel better
→you're afraid and anxious about birth and you want to feel calm and capable
→ dealing with constant pain and tension is leaving you feeling defeated and doubt and fear is starting to creep in
→ your body is working overtime creating your babe and you just want someone to take care and support you
You shouldn’t have to feel held back or worried about what’s right for your body.
You've got enough to think about.
Take a moment to breathe and imagine you could feel like this instead:
〜strong and pain-free as you move through everyday activities
〜 supported and encouraged through each stage of pregnancy
〜 confident and trusting of your body as you prepare to birth your baby
〜 energized and capable to keep up with life and do the things you enjoy
〜 calm and relaxed as you navigate the major transitions in pregnancy, birth and postpartum
The good news is, you can swap all that tension and overwhelm for the fresh energy and confidence you’re craving.

"After taking Laura’s course I felt empowered to give birth which was a wonderful place to be. The breathing and alignment work was invaluable for preparing my body for labor."
-Shannon L.B

Hey, I’m Laura Wood
Doula, prenatal movement coach and mama
I’ve been where you are. In my first pregnancy, I dealt with the frustration of constant back pain, weakened core and pelvic floor muscles and general exhaustion!
Even with 10 years of experience as a movement teacher and birth doula, I still felt lost, confused and embarrassed by not knowing my way around my own body.
This experience prompted me to develop a functional and supportive approach that has changed pregnancies around the globe for the better. And I can’t wait to help you too!
"Having the motivation to move became harder as I neared the end of pregnancy so the guided movement and grounding exercises were very helpful! I felt more flexible, strong and prepared for birth working with Laura."

Still got questions? Let me help you out.
-
Absolutely. As long as your care provider has cleared you for exercise, these classes will be appropriate regardless of previous experience. Options will be given during classes to simplify or challenge yourself even more. And our 1:1 sessions will allow us to go over technique and alignment and making any adjustments for your body.
-
Sessions, video classes and custom workouts are all a blend of yoga, pilates and functional strength work. There are restorative yoga classes, Pilates core focused classes as well as strength and mobility work. You’ll have a well rounded variety of movement styles to suit your mood and energy level.
-
Build Up To Birth One-On-One Coaching does provide you with a do-able monthly workout plan consisting of 2 recommended workouts each week. But you have the ultimate control over how many workouts you do and when you do them. And we will work together to create a personalized program that feels doable for you!
-
You should always check with your care provider before starting a new movement practice, especially if you’re dealing with issues such as Diastasis Recti or Pelvic Floor Symptoms but as an experienced prenatal trainer, I’ve supported hundreds of pregnant people dealing with these issues as well. Together we’ll find the exercises and modifications that are best for your body!
-
Build Up To Birth was specifically created to support you through your entire pregnancy but you can 100% start at any point. There is a 3 month commitment but you will automatically be moved into the postpartum coaching track if you give birth before the 3 months are completed.
-
Getting comfortable with movements and into a consistent groove takes time and commitment, so there is a 3 month minimum for one-on-one coaching, and you’ll have the option to continue on or cancel. If you give birth before your 3 months are up, you’ll move into the postpartum training program and sessions will be paused and resumed at 6-8 weeks postpatum.
