Push Prep™ Birth Preparation Class in Winston-Salem, NC
Giving birth is one of the most powerful experiences in a woman’s life. At Taylor PT & Wellness, our Push Prep™ Birth Class is designed to prepare you physically and emotionally for labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery.
Led by pelvic floor therapists that specialize in obstetric care, this class goes beyond what you’ll find in a hospital or OB birth class – offering evidence-based strategies to protect your pelvic floor, support your birth plan, and help you feel confident in your body’s ability to give birth.
We’re here to help you feel ready, supported, and empowered for your birth experience.
What You’ll Learn in Push Prep
In this class, you and your birth partner will learn practical, hands-on strategies for birth and recovery:
- Stages of Labor & Labor Positions — We dive deep into each stage of labor to understand what to expect, coping strategies, and exactly what mom should be doing at each stage. We provide pictures and include lab time to practice positions for all stages.
- Pushing & Breathing Mechanics— Learn breathing and pushing techniques to reduce pelvic floor strain and make labor more effective
- Prevention of Perineal Tearing — strategies to protect tissues and support gentle delivery
- Minimizing Interventions — Reduce unnecessary medical interventions for mom and baby by following evidenced-based strategies
- Early Postpartum Healing — guidance for early pelvic floor and core recovery from day of birth to six weeks postpartum
- Partner Involvement — We encourage moms to bring a support person to learn breathing techniques, pushing positions, and hands-on support you can practice together
Who Is This Class For?
Push Prep™ is designed for:
- First-time moms who want to feel prepared, confident, and supported
- Experienced moms who want a refresher or new strategies for a different birth experience
- Women planning a hospital, birth center, or home birth — medicated or unmedicated

Why Choose Push Prep™ at Taylor PT & Wellness?
Here’s how Push Prep is different from a typical hospital class:
- Taught by pelvic floor therapists — Unlike most hospital classes, our instructors are doctorate-trained providers who specialize in obstetric care.
- More than a tour — Hospital classes often focus on logistics: where to check in, what a delivery room looks like, and general education. Push Prep™ is focused on you and your body, with hands-on strategies you can actually use during labor.
- Focus on prevention & quality of life — Learn evidence-based techniques to reduce tearing, protect your pelvic floor, and set yourself up for smoother postpartum recovery.
- Whole-body, whole-mom support — Beyond birth, we connect you to resources for nutrition, lactation, massage, yoga, pelvic floor therapy, and our Pregnancy Prep & Postpartum Recovery Programs — all under one roof.
- Women-centered environment — Our clinic is designed specifically for women and new moms. From the physical space to the services we offer, everything is built to support you.
- Connected to the birth community — As part of the local birth network, we can help connect you with additional care providers and resources if you need them.
Birth is one of the most powerful moments of your life — feel prepared, supported, and confident when it arrives.
Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a current patient?
No. Push Prep is open to all expecting moms in the community.
How is this different from a hospital birth class?
