As Seattle Explodes Around Us, Moms and Moms-to-be Find Sanity, Solace and Strength with Bodies for Birth
Pregnant and postpartum women are flocking to Bodies for Birth for specialized exercise instruction, labor preparation and a close knit community amidst a city that is changing all around us.
Registered Nurse and Pre- and Postnatal Exercise Specialist, Maura Shirey [36], of [Seattle, WA] is on a mission to create a “birth and fitness revolution,” improving the health of future generations one mom and baby at a time. As Seattle changes at lightning speed, the timing could not be more important.
“It’s not about getting back into your skinny jeans, it’s about setting your child up for optimal health at birth and beyond. We live in a fear-based birth culture that is full of misinformation and myths surrounding exercise and pregnancy. Yet, the numerous benefits for both mom and baby are undeniable and backed by science,” reports Maura. Her mission is to provide education, resources and to change the current conversation and culture.
“The pressures of parenthood are magnified by a rapidly changing Seattle; an ongoing discussion topic among attendees as they strategize to arrange and save for maternity leave, child and healthcare costs.” The Bodies for Birth community is providing solace, sanity and strength amidst the chaos; empowering women in mind and body, while utilizing movement as a forum for education, stress reduction and self-awareness.
Group classes and one-on-one sessions are held at the Outrageously Fit training studio located in Ballard. Prenatal Intervals and Mom & Baby classes are offered as a series of four or five sessions meeting once weekly, encouraging familiarity and community among classmates.
