What is the Birth Balance Method ?
The Birth Balance training was developed by Rosie Moore, a specialist pelvic health physiotherapist who has taught pregnancy class since 2015 . She has helped hundreds of women in her local community teaching classes, offering physiotherapy during their pregnancy and postnatally. She has combined elements of yoga, alignment work for birth, myofascial release , Pilates and hypnobirthing through her classes for many years. Her method offers the essential education, relaxation and holistic practices needed to address fear and anxiety in pregnancy and birth, but also the physical side creating stability , release and alignment .
