In today’s episode, Anita welcomes special guest and close friend (and fellow Pelvic Health Physiotherapist), Robyn Synnott, back to the show! And, today, we are going to be talking all about partner labour prep sessions. We reveal what they are about, why they are important, what we find missing from most labour prep classes, and feedback we get from clients! We hope this helps practitioners lead - and clients find - the best labour prep!
