Pregnancy, childbirth, and the first year postpartum will be studied on many levels. These life topics are delicate in nature. Please be mindful of your journey as sometimes past or unresolved feelings may come to light. As such, time to debrief and discuss is available. This fosters the ability to ultimately help others without attaching personal feelings on someone else's life path.
- Pelvic Floor and Core Health instructed by Dr. Rachael E. Miller, Physical Therapist and Women's Health Coach
As program director and lead trainer, Elise Bowerman was fortunate to grow up in a household with a holistic mind-set and practiced yoga 10 years before her first child was born. She taught and practiced yoga throughout the entire pregnancies of both children experiencing first-hand what it's like to evolve at this time in life... personally and professionally. Due to her healthful living background she works closely with and advocates for doulas, midwives, chiropractors, holistic medicine, pelvic floor physical therapists, perinatal and antenatal psychologists. Elise is a proud member of Birth Detroit's Board of Directors, building the first non-profit birth center in the city.
