The Pelvic Floor Project
This podcast is for anyone with a pelvic floor. Pssst….. everyone has a pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles responsible for controlling our bodily functions. I refer to myself as a physiotherapist for embarrassing issues. I routinely help clients address symptoms like incontinence, prolapse, diastasis, pelvic pain, intimacy issues and the list goes on. A theme that stands out to me is how little we learn about our private parts and the muscles surrounding. This podcast is for you if you are interested in learning more about your body. Focused on the female, I cover topics pertinent to puberty, athletics, pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, menopause, surgery and so much more.I promise to share evidence based information through discussion with other health care experts in their field with the goal to showcase a holistic and empowering approach to taking care of the only body you will ever have. I hope you enjoy!

19. Six things your labour and delivery nurse wants you to know with Kim Daniels
In this episode, I sit down with my friend Kim Daniels who happens to be a labour and delivery nurse. I asked Kim to speak about the most important messages she would like to voice as a nurse to moms planning a hospital birth.
Her and her colleagues who also agreed on the topics included!
Here is what Kim said about herself:
I’m a nurse and mother of two boys 15 months and almost 5. I’ve been a nurse for 16 years and 6 of those as LDR. I needed a change from cardiac nursing and was looking for other options when LDR was presented to me. I initially turned up my nose as I really didn’t enjoy that in nursing school but after a shadow shift I knew it was the next path for me. In those 6 years I’ve had two babies of my own both with very different pregnancies and labor’s, but thanks to my amazing practitioners doctors/midwives/nurses I have two very different but positive birth experiences. I have become passionate about providing positive birth experiences for my patients and their families, regardless of the type of labor and birth. I love that my job allows me to step into such an intimate and private part of someone’s life and be a part of so many births. It’s truly a privilege to witness new life with new hope and promise!
