To Birth and Beyond

Episode 272: Birth Mindset and Language Adjustments with Madison Cleckler


Listen Later

In today’s episode, Jessie chats with Madison Cleckler about all things birth mindset, and how to have conversations about birth with our pregnant clients and patients. If you work in any fitness, exercise, coaching, or health modality, this will be a really key discussion for you. We discuss how we consider lanugage we use with clients and patients around bith, so they can feel better prepared for what comes up around birth, but mostly how we can stay supportive figures for them.


* This is a conversation taken straight from Jessie's Prenatal Fitness Specialist Academy course, so enjoy this behind-the-scenes peek into what kind of education you receive in the pregnancy and postpartum coaching certification!
