G.Lorri Labour Bodywork

Gabrielle has a unique skillset within the pregnancy midwifery realm. She is warm, knowledgeable and professional, and happily arranged a last minute after hours appointment for me late in my pregnancy and really took her time during the session. Would definitely recommend seeing Gab for pregnancy aches and pains and getting baby in a good position for labour!

Gabrielle is amazing! I went to see her postpartum regarding some pain in my back and she just went above and beyond. I went back to see her during my second pregnancy to help stay active as well as prepare my body for birth.She was so knowledgeable, warm and thorough and helped me relieve my pain.Her holistic knowledge regarding pregnancy is what sets her apart from others. I left every session feeling better not only physically but mentally as well.Would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a postpartum and pregnancy trainer you can feel comfortable with.

I am so grateful for Gabrielle, for the longest time I have been searching high and low for a PT who GETS women, mothers & pregnancy. Gabrielle is so knowledgeable, professional and kind. I started at 15 weeks, I am now 21 weeks and feeling strong and I am getting to know my body better than I ever have before. I will continue all throughout my pregnancy and postpartum (basically for as long as Gabrielle will have me as a client). You’re the best Gabrielle, appreciate you SO MUCH! x

I found out my baby was in the breech presentation at 32 weeks. When she hadn’t turned on her own by 34 weeks I saw Gabrielle for bodywork to help my muscles soften to either allow baby to turn on her own or for the chances of an ECV to be more successful. At each appointment Gabrielle prescribed exercises/ stretches for me to do at home plus she performed release work on the ligaments connected to my pelvis. In the end I had a successful ECV and a relatively quick labour and vaginal birth at 40 weeks! So glad I reached out to Gabrielle who was super knowledgable about birth and how the body holds tension but she also intertwines this knowledge with her midwifery brain!

Gabrielle was wonderful to work with and accommodated me in another state by doing an online session. She explain all muscular concepts well, demonstrated release work effectively and has given me the skills I need to prepare my body for labour in the upcoming weeks with confidence. She is a MUST as part of your birth prep!

I’ll be eternally grateful for Gabrielle’s guidance and support during my pregnancy. With a toddler in tow, doing Zoom classes at a convenient time ensured I was able to attend weekly classes in the convenience of my home. Each class was tailored specifically for my needs and left me feeling stronger and energised rather than exhausted. Gabrielle’s knowledge and philosophy around birth was such a gift and ensured that I was physically stronger but also empowered approaching labour. Not only did I finish each class fitter, I felt confident and excited about what my body was designed to do. I can’t thank Gabrielle enough for all that she did for me and cannot recommend her and her expertise more highly.

Gabrielle is super professional and inveigle well infringed in her practice. She helped me avoid an induction with some body work to help release tension to help the baby to descend. I would absolutely recommend her if you want help at any stage in your pregnancy.

I’m SO grateful to have stumbled across Gabrielle’s Instagram account just before I got pregnant, meaning I have been able to benefit from her sessions since I was only about 5 weeks! I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and have been seeing Gabrielle twice a week. She has kept me motivated to remain active throughout my pregnancy and I thoroughly enjoy each and every session! I have noticed an increase in my overall strength and mobility and have gained so much knowledge from Gabrielle. She always starts our session by checking in with how my body is feeling and my energy levels so as to cater the session to my needs. Each session concludes with core work, an area in which I have experienced significant improvement. Gabrielle has really helped me to connect with my pelvic floor and I now have excellent control over my deep lower abdominal muscles. In addition to helping me prepare physically for labour, birth and postpartum, Gabrielle’s midwifery knowledge has been invaluable. She is always willing to answer any questions I have around pregnancy, labour and birth and I have loved our many in-depth chats! I highly recommend Gabrielle to anyone who is pregnant or postpartum. Her sessions are really reasonably priced and there are very few PTs around with her expert knowledge in the field of pregnancy, birth and postpartum!

I’m so glad I found Gabrielle for my 3rd pregnancy!I booked in for her Optimise Labour package as I knew there was a high chance I would be induced for the 3rd time & I wanted to make sure my body was in amazing condition leading into labour & birth.I can wholeheartedly say that all the labour prep we did during our sessions & the exercises she got me to do at home absolutely helped me have the most amazing labour & birth - the best out of my 3!I will be recommending all of my pregnant friends come & see Gabrielle!

My partner and I completed a series of one-on-one childbirth education classes with Gabrielle in the lead up to the birth of our first child. Gabrielle is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate in her education, pacing things to our needs and providing practical advice and tools along the way. With Gabrielle’s help we felt prepared and empowered when discussing birth plans with hospital medical staff to advocate for our wishes where needed. She was flexible, responsive and extremely affordable. Highly recommend working with Gabrielle to all parents to be!
