"I truly enjoyed the low-stress, in person sessions where I could bring my baby and be around other moms as well who just "get it". It allowed me toget out of the house and feel human"

YOUR BIRTH TO BARBELLS TEAM
Birth to Barbells is the passion project of two moms in healthcare: Brigitte and Alanna. Between them they have experienced four pregnancies and deliveries, all of which where unique and changed their entire approach to treating pregnant and postpartum women. They realized through their own experiences and their experiences treating other women, that moms deserve BETTER. They need access to better information, more resources, and a strong community to stand with them.
