Your pelvis is designed to move during birth.

In this video, I’m moving my hips slowly—feeling the stretch, exploring my range of motion and allowing my pelvis to move without forcing it.

During labor, the ability to rock, sway, circle your hips and change positions can help create space as your baby navigates through the pelvis. Belly dance is a fun way to practice that mobility, improve body awareness and become more comfortable moving before labor begins.

I’m thinking about starting a beginner-friendly Belly Dance for Birth class at Ivy Fitness Center on Fort Carson. No dance experience—just gentle movement, music and birth preparation.

I’m the Personal Trainer and Certified Rolfer® at Ivy, with a background in Labor and Delivery nursing, childbirth education and pre/postnatal fitness. I want to create something fun and useful for the pregnant women in our military community.

If you would be interested, comment BELLY DANCE below. If there’s enough interest, let’s get a class started! 💃🏽

Participants must be service members, military dependents or other eligible DoD ID cardholders with access to Fort Carson.

Something new is available at the Fort Carson Ivy Fitness Center—Rolfing® Structural Integration.

If you’re wondering, “What the heck is Rolfing?” you’re not alone! Rolfing works with the body’s fascia and overall structure to improve balance, mobility and how you feel in your body. It can be especially valuable during pregnancy and postpartum, but it isn’t only for mothers. Rolfing is for men and women, pregnant or not.

I’m also a Certified Personal Trainer specializing in prenatal and postpartum fitness, so if you see me working out at Ivy, come say hello. You can also message, email or call me with questions.

My experience as a labor and delivery nurse showed me how deeply the body’s alignment and soft tissues can affect pregnancy and birth. That is what inspired me to become a Certified Rolfer™ and integrate bodywork with movement and fitness.

I also volunteer with the American Red Cross at Evans Army Community Hospital, so you may see me on the OB unit or Labor and Delivery from time to time.

At the heart of everything I do is a desire to help women feel stronger, supported and empowered for birth—while helping every client move and feel better in their body.

Rolfing sessions at Ivy Fitness Center are available to eligible DoD ID cardholders. But if you’re not - No Worries- come see me at my Manitou Springs Location!

What if the birth trauma we call “normal” is actually the warning sign?

Too many women leave childbirth feeling unheard, unsupported, rushed, over-managed, and traumatized.

Too many families walk away saying, “I didn’t know I had options.”

That is why you need to watch Birth Time.

This powerful documentary exposes the reality of modern maternity care and shows why informed birth choices, respectful care, physiologic birth, and true labor support matter.

This is not just an Australia issue.
This is not just a United States issue.
This transcends borders.

You can watch Birth Time from your own country and feel like it was filmed in your hospital, birth center, community, or system.

That should wake us up.

As a labor and delivery nurse and creator of Dysfunctional Labor Maneuvers, I believe change has to happen at the bedside and in the hands of the people supporting labor.

That is why I created the DLM Workshop for birth workers.

The DLM Workshop is designed for labor and delivery nurses, doulas, midwives, OB providers, childbirth educators, and birth professionals who want practical skills to support challenging labor.

It teaches birth workers how to better understand labor dystocia, support physiologic birth, reduce unnecessary interventions, and use hands-on strategies that make a real difference.

I also created The DLM App to help parents and professionals navigate prodromal labor and difficult labor patterns with more confidence.

Families need tools.
They need support.
They need birth workers who know what to do when labor gets hard.

If you are a doula, midwife, labor and delivery nurse, OB, childbirth educator, or birth professional, watch Birth Time.

Have a watch party.
Start the conversation.
Let it move you.

Star Legacy Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing pregnancy loss and neonatal death while improving care for families who experience these devastating losses. Its work includes family support, professional education, research, advocacy, and safer-pregnancy awareness.

The Colorado Chapter was established in 2024 and serves Colorado Springs, Denver, and surrounding communities. It is completely volunteer-run and works locally to support families, educate healthcare professionals, and raise awareness about pregnancy and infant loss.

For military families stationed in Colorado who may be far from their usual support systems, the Colorado Chapter is also a valuable local resource to know about if support is ever needed.

As I train for my upcoming races, I’m using my platform to help more people learn that this organization and its resources exist. My Star Legacy Colorado running team is not organized, sponsored, or funded by Star Legacy Foundation. It is simply an opportunity for runners who choose to join me in raising awareness for this important cause.

Learn more about the Colorado Chapter:
https://starlegacyfoundation.org/chapter/colorado/

If you would like to donate directly to the Colorado Chapter, message me and I will send you the clickable donation link.

Every conversation, share, and donation can help another family feel less alone.
