Strengthening Intuition Through Embodied Movement | with Rachael Robertson

We talk a lot about intuition in the pregnancy and birth space. But intuition isn’t something you magically access when labor starts. It’s something you strengthen — and it starts in the body. In this episode, I sit down with kinesiologist and Pilates specialist Rachael Robertson to explore how embodied movement builds trust, awareness, and nervous system regulation. We discuss: What embodiment actually means (and why so many women feel disconnected) How chronic tension, old injuries, and overtraining impact intuition The link between nervous system safety and physiological birth Why pelvic stability and breathwork matter long before labor begins Movement as preparation for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum How to stop overriding your body and start listening to it This conversation is about rebuilding strength without force — and developing the kind of body awareness that carries into labor, motherhood, and everyday life.
