this is all about you!
Finding awe & agency in your body.
The human body is fascinating and brilliantly designed. It has inner intelligence and tremendous capacity. This truth is never more apparent than during pregnancy and birth! Bodies – your body – are dynamic, adaptable, resilient, and full of vibrant potential! If you don’t believe that can be true of your body, you will soon.
At The Mama’s Physio, you’ll learn the secret of true health and wellbeing: cultivating a loving relationship with your body, with others, and with yourself. It is a process that’s created in the big things but also the small daily things. And what you input into your body – also your mind, heart, and spirit – will grow and change you in incredible ways!

PHYSIOTHERAPIST, BIRTH WORKER, and mama to 5 littles
Hi there! I’m Ibbie, the friendly face behind The Mama’s Physio. If you can’t already tell, I’m pretty passionate about all things birth and pelvic health.
My personal and professional experiences over the past 17+ years have led to my convergence point and clarified my mission: I’m here to help women step more fully into who they are. To re-connect to the deeper parts of themselves. To be reborn, in a sense, through the awakening of their bodies – especially their pelvis!
Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are such beautiful windows of opportunity for this rebirth. Here we can get familiar with our inner landscapes, honour our feminine physiology, discover our creative powers and potential, and nurture whole, sustainable, health. This is deep stuff ya’ll. And I absolutely love it!
When I’m not wearing my physio/birth worker hat, I’m fancying myself an urban homesteader, learning natural & herbal remedies, contemplating theology of the female body, creating music, sipping tea with a friend, or (most likely) herding my five very energetic kids.
Learn more about me (and the fancy-schmancy resume stuff) here.

I felt strong and empowered.
While working with Ibbie, I felt strong, knowledgeable, and empowered in my pregnancy and birth experience. She helped me to reshape how we view our pregnant bodies to see the power and resiliency that our bodies have and were designed for. In addition, she helped me gain a better understanding of what strategies are available to help facilitate our body’s natural and incredible process of childbirth.

She is a true healer.
I am so grateful to have found my way to Ibbie. She is an incredible practitioner: skilled, knowledgeable, insightful, supportive, and wise. She has been an integral part of my preparation for and recovery from birth with my second child, and with her support, I was able to go into this birth with confidence and excitement. I especially appreciated her openness to working with my husband, teaching him/us techniques in our sessions that helped us both prepare physically and emotionally for birth. He, too, felt at ease and supported by Ibbie; she will forever be part of our birth experience and story.

Ibbie has made such a big difference in my life.
And I’m so grateful. She was my guide and cheerleader in preparing me for my first natural, physiologic birth. I felt totally equipped and even excited to give birth this time around thanks to her incredible preparation and encouragement on so many levels. I learned so much from her that I wish I’d known during previous pregnancies! I was able to have a beautiful physiologic birth thanks in large part to how she empowered and educated me ahead of time with the right mindset and practical skills.

She is truly one of a kind, a rare gem.
The Mama’s Physio came highly recommended by medical professionals and having experienced incredible healing thanks to Ibbie’s care, I cannot speak highly enough about her. Ibbie provides exceptional pelvic floor physio weaving genuine care and concern into every conversation. Her compassion and empathy for pain and life-long struggles, coupled with her passion to make a difference, makes her an outstanding therapist in her field.

I learned so much in the process and can’t thank her enough.
I started to work with Ibbie for preventative measures when I was about 30 weeks pregnant. She has an energy about her that made it very easy to discuss intimate topics. This all came in handy when I ran into some unforeseen pelvic-floor issues post-birth. Ibbie held space for how devastated I (initially) felt about it, and helped guide me on a path towards my goals. I am so grateful that I had her on my team, and really felt like we worked together to get me to a place I was happy with.
