Walk into your birth with knowledge & confidence

This hands-on bodywork session works by gently releasing overactive or guarded pelvic floor muscles, improving tissue mobility, and restoring healthy communication between the pelvic floor and the nervous system.

So that you can birth your baby with more confidence in knowing how to lengthen particular tissues with breath and how to manage intra-abdominal pressure for your pushing phase.

Many women experiencing pelvic pain, tightness, or dysfunction aren't weak, they're over-protective, holding tension stored from pain, stress, surgery, or emotional experiences.

Through slow, consent-led internal contact, the session creates the safety and awareness needed for the body to soften and move out of protection and into ease, improving circulation, reducing pain, and helping you reconnect with sensation and control in your pelvic space.

Sessions may also incorporate external body release work, scar release work, Body Ready Method assessment, and Spinning Babies techniques.

The most frequently asked question I get is when is the best time for this care. Most of the time, my response is 'it depends' because it does. However, usually I see women as early in their 2nd Trimester as possible for an exploration session. We unpack what's brought you to land on this care and then see if we can piece together some things to give us clues. From there I can write up a very specific tailored program for you to begin implementing because this work, just like any regular body work can be fleeting if you don't make appropriate changes to your body/lifestyle.

If there are no specific things you need to address then I suggest another session as close to birth as possible, so that you can have those results nice and fresh for birth.

Discount of $150 is applied to your third session.

I had the honour of being supported by Susanna. Words can’t explain the comfort I felt with just the first time meeting her - demonstrated by our 2 hour yap about my motherhood journey, which felt like 10 minutes. She held space for me, gave me all the time in the world and I could see that she was really in it with me. I felt incredibly safe and that she was in tune with my body and what it needed. It is not often you meet someone who helps nourish you mentally, physically and emotionally. Eternally grateful to you x

Sus cared for me over four beautiful sessions of internal release work. This was something I wanted to use to compliment my pregnancy and birth process after having a past Caesarian section and to work through some emotional blockages. Sus was so welcoming and made me feel so comfortable. The work she offers is so special and so personal it was important to me to find the right person. The sessions felt very tailored to me and what I was wanting to gain from the process. Each session started with a lot of emotional work and getting to know one another. She had some very targeted questions that triggered a lot of thought processes that facilitated healing and prepped me for my upcoming birth letting go of the expectations and pressures I had put on myself. I ended up having a Beautiful healing birth and believe Sus had a big part in that.

I was planning to have a VBAC for my second birth & decided to invest in a doula as part of my support team, so contacted Susanna. She provided a wealth of knowledge, support & guidance in my birth prep which I believe largely helped me achieve my VBAC. Her presence at the birth was calming, grounding & my partner also took great comfort in having her there to support & assist us. I couldn’t recommend Susanna highly enough to be a part of your pregnancy/birth/postpartum journey - it was invaluable to us.

As the partner, having my fiancé work with Susanna from The Birth Suite completely changed my perspective. I was honestly very skeptical about having a doula and whether it would make much difference, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Watching the support and preparation in the lead up shift her mindset was huge, and during labour having Susanna there to guide, support, and advocate made all the difference. It also gave me clarity on how I could actually show up and support her properly. The whole experience felt calmer, more in control, and far more supported. I’d never want her walking into a birth without Susanna again.
