Dr. Ashley Harper’s Birth Storiesand the impact of BIRTHFIT
About the episode:
“You’ve got to birth where you feel comfortable” You have to feel safe where you are birthing - where are you going to be able to surrender”
In part 2 of Dr. Ashley’s interview we talk about how she had her first child while in the chiropractic program and began to switch her chiropractic focus from sports to prenatal and pediatric care. Being in school also impacted how she approached the birth of her first. And she also discovered BIRTHFIT during that postpartum time.
She shares the birth story of her first and how different it looked compared to her second child! From a medicated hospital birth first time to a home birth second time around. And she shares how her postpartum experiences differed drastically. From running a half marathon in one postpartum time period to embracing rest in the next, she shares how the foundations of BIRTHFIT helped her form a stable base and be more intentional with her movements. She also talks about how she approaches care with the expecting families she works with which includes
lots of patient education
defining what true health is
the impact of chiropractic care on the nervous system
how to encompass a wellness lifestyle ( movement, mental, and nutrition)
helping people take ownership of their health
And hosting postpartum BIRTHFIT classes.
