Experience More Comfort In Your Pregnancy & Confidence In Your Birth
Often when women find out they're pregnant, they're told they should do the same exercise and body work they did before they were pregnant with no thought about how physiology affects pregnancy and birth.
But then, in the final months of pregnancy, they learn that their baby isn't positioned as optimally as possible for labor, maybe their baby is posterior and causing extra back pressure, or maybe their baby is even breech and natural birth looks out of reach.
Some women will struggle with various levels of pelvic floor dysfunction, like incontinence or prolapse. Or they may have abdominal muscle separation after birth. Or they may experience a lot of hip, back, or rib cage pain during pregnancy.
I know this sounds like a lot to worry about because we're told by the conventional medical system that this is normal and beyond our control.
But is it really beyond your control?
All of these situations are the result of a mix of stress and long-term body compensations that affect optimal function of the body under the changes of pregnancy and birth.
Most importantly, these situations can be minimized, and sometimes avoided with an approach that identifies and assesses physical patterns and provides simple tools to rewire them.
This is why following a program specifically designed for pregnancy and birth can improve so many aspects of your pregnancy and birth experience.
This is why I became a Certified Body Ready Method Pro®.

Stories From Happy Moms
I've had the privilege of working with Tristin for about 8 years. I originally went to see her after being recommended by a friend and have subsequently told basically anyone who will listen about how helpful and healing her work is. She has helped me with a number of issues but most notably, a difficult fertility journey and then 2 healthy pregnancies - one set of twins and a singleton. Her breadth of knowledge is remarkable and rare. I'm grateful for her curious and thoughtful approach. She is a force of sanity and balance in a health system that for me, can be overwhelming and anxiety producing.

I've been seeing Tristin for several years now and I have recommended her to so many people in my life, for a multitude of issues. For one - she seems to be a miracle worker on the fertility front. She has helped not just me, but my sister and more friends than I can count on my fingers - all with health issues or histories of miscarriages or years of infertility - carry out healthy pregnancies and beautiful, healthy babies. She has an amazing understanding of how the whole body works together and can tend to issues ranging from pain to temporary sickness to chronic illness. She also uses needles the most efficiently that I have ever experienced (meaning you won't be laying there with fifty needles - she knows where to put maybe four or five that are just as effective). I can't recommend her enough.

I couldn't recommend Tristin enough. My first ever experience with acupuncture was with Tristin, and she put me at ease immediately. We spent the first portion of the visit talking, so she could get to know me in a holistic way. By the time we got to needles, they were practically a minor detail! I walk away from my visits with Tristin feeling calm and empowered. She truly has a gift.
