At Southern New Hampshire Health, our childbirth educators are dedicated to supporting families through all stages of pregnancy, delivery, and parenting. One educator, Brenda Jones, PT, MEd, CYI, CRQTC, is an Orthopedic and Women’s Health/Pelvic Health  Physical Therapist, as well as a Yoga, and Qigong instructor for over 25 years. Brenda’s passion for prevention, wellness, and self-care led her to blend these practices to help her patients, clients, and students maximize their overall health and wellness. Her experience working in the field of Pelvic Health and Women’s Health for over 25 years allows her to bring a wealth of knowledge regarding self-care during pregnancy, delivery, and beyond to her classes.   She has developed and taught many programs to support Moms and Parents at every stage of their journey.   Her hope is that someday every Birth Parent has access to both Physical Therapy and perinatal practices to care for themselves as they care for their children and families.When not working or developing programs, you are likely to find Brenda outside with family and friends, hiking, kayaking, gardening, and enjoying nature.

Staying active and healthy throughout your pregnancy isn’t always easy. Your growing baby may prevent you from participating in programs or lessen your motivation to exercise. Southern New Hampshire Medical Center offers a unique yoga program designed to meet the specific needs of expecting moms.

This program meets once a week and is designed to help you learn postures, breathing, and relaxing techniques tailored to pregnancy and the postpartum period. Core strengthening, flexibility, and self-care techniques are also incorporated throughout the session.

Taught by an orthopedic and pelvic health/women’s health PT who is certified in Yoga, Qigong and Childbirth Education
