This VBAC client’s first contraction started the moment we released one fear from her fascia after days of cramping with zero progress.

I’m Gabrielle, creator of The G.Lorri™ Method.

After a decade in practice, I discovered that fascia holds emotional patterns that can block birth completely.

When we released her deep fear, labour started immediately.

Eight hours later: an intervention free VBAC, just hours before her scheduled induction.

This is why The G.Lorri™ Method transforms birth outcomes—we address the whole story held in the body.

I used to think pelvic alignment was everything.

But after watching perfectly aligned pelvises still struggle with posterior babies, I had to ask: What are we missing?
The answer wasn’t more angles or more positions. It was fascia!!

That silent web of tension patterns, old scars, and emotions that no pelvis model ever showed me.

The G.Lorri™ Fetal Positioning Method teaches birth workers to feel beyond structure, to read the fascial story first.

Because when you release what’s restricting movement, babies often find their way with ease.
This changed everything in my practice. And it’s why fascia comes first. 🎉

This story still gives me goosebumps.
A VBAC mama came at 35+4 with her belly button so far to the right, her linea nigra didn’t even meet it. 
Her first birth had ended in a posterior baby, induction, and caesarean. She was determined this time would be different.

What fascinated me most, her right hip was locked tight, but wouldn’t release until we worked the left side first. 
A perfect example of fascia’s “tissue buddies.” Sometimes the side that feels tight isn’t the cause, it’s the protector.

Four sessions later, after combining bodywork and nervous system support (addressing stored birth trauma too), her belly button had centred and baby found perfect alignment.

Weeks later she texted me from her VBAC—joyful, empowered, and pain-free. Her body had shown us the way the entire time.

Your belly button tells a story. 
You just need to know how to read it 🌷

We need to move away from the idea that pain is something to ignore or push through.
Pain isn’t a nuisance — it’s a message. A carefully crafted, intentional signal from your body.

And during pregnancy, that message gets louder.
Why? Because it’s birth preparation 🌸

Your body is communicating imbalance, tension, or areas needing attention — things your baby can also sense and respond to as they find their position for birth.

So when your body speaks, listen.
Seek support.
Address what it’s showing you instead of silencing it.

In doing so, you’re not just finding relief — you’re creating space, comfort, and more choice for both you and your baby.

Every sensation has purpose.
Are you listening? 🤍

We absolutely loved attending the book launch of Sarah’s ‘Matrescence Becoming Mother’ from .

The book includes the beautiful stories of 50 mothers transitions into motherhood, with absolutely gorgeous moments captured between them and their babies 🥹

She does such a beautiful job capturing moments, we have two of her images in our clinic space that get so many beautiful compliments, congrats on your book launch Sarah, it’s a gorgeous read ❤️

Had a client the other day who’d been having prodromal labour for two weeks.
Physically, everything looked perfect — baby well positioned, pelvis balanced, minimal aches.

But her nervous system? Still holding her first birth trauma 🌸

This is why we can’t just work muscles or fascia in isolation.
If the nervous system doesn’t feel safe, labour stalls.
If we’re disconnected from ourselves, oxytocin — the hormone that thrives on connection — can’t flow freely.

Our approach? Helping the brain understand what the body’s holding.
Think of it as relationship counselling for your internal systems 🤍
When they start speaking the same language — supporting instead of resisting — everything shifts.

It’s not just about getting labour started.
It’s about transforming your entire birth experience, whatever the outcome.

Birth workers, ready to bridge that mind-body gap? 💜

I used to think as a midwife…

I used to think posterior babies were just unlucky—stuck in a tough position that made labour harder.
That’s what we were taught… until I started bodywork 🌸

Over time, I began noticing something deeper, intention behind their position.

Sometimes I’d find a posterior baby, but the only tension present was what I’d normally see with a deflexed pattern.
Other times, there was no physical restriction at all—just a nervous system holding protection.

That’s when it clicked:
Posterior isn’t a “stuck” space.
It’s a chosen space—a baby’s intelligent way of navigating something harder.

When you start understanding the intention behind their movement,
the way you support both baby and body completely changes 🌷🙌

Had a chat with midwife the other day and she said,
“This baby just won’t engage, and I don’t know why.”

I asked one question: “Where’s the baby’s chin pointing?”
“Up,” she said.

That was the clue 🌸
A lifted chin (deflexed) means there’s tension behind the head.
She checked—and found a tight lower uterine segment.
Once we worked with that, baby tucked beautifully and descended with ease.

This moment changed everything for me.
Babies aren’t malpositioned—they’re intelligent little navigators, moving around what feels restricted.
Every position tells a story about where space is missing.

✨ Deflexed? Look behind the head.
✨ Off-centre? Check for one-sided pull.
✨ Overlapping? Something’s blocking the inlet.

Our babies are the wisest teachers in the room.
All we have to do is listen 🌷

We have to stop normalising our body asking for attention.

It’s not failure—it’s communication.
And I get it. For years, I thought scar numbness was “just how it is” too. That’s what we’re taught. Midwifery degrees rarely mention fascia—the network that explains so much of what we see and feel.

But scars speak. They hold stories, and they ask for care in ways we often miss.
Here are a few signs your scar might be asking for your help:
🌸 Numbness or loss of sensation
🌸 Sharpness or pain despite healing well
🌸 Pulling or tightness with movement
🌸 Gradual tension—hip, back, or pelvic discomfort months later
🌸 Emotional resistance to touching or looking at the scar

These are not random symptoms—they’re messages.
And the best part? Every one of them can change.

When we listen, fascia responds.
When we meet the body with understanding, healing happens—physically, emotionally, and for every birth that follows.

“My linea nigra is wonky—is that normal?”

This question yesterday made me realise how many practitioners miss this incredible assessment tool hiding in plain sight.

Your tummy line is like a tension meter. When it’s straight, fascia is balanced. When it veers, pulls, or splits? Your body is literally drawing arrows to where baby needs help to create softness!

I’ve tracked hundreds of these lines. The mum whose line suddenly veered at 38 weeks? Baby had gone off centre. The one with a split line near her p***c bone? Significant sacral ligament tension affecting engagement.

Nature gives us these clues. We just need to know how to read them.
Ever noticed your line pattern? Share below—I’m curious what you’re seeing and what it linked with!

A midwife colleague sent me photos last week: “This mum’s stretch marks are wild—all on her left side. Is that significant?”

YES. It changed everything about how I approached her case.

Here’s what I’ve discovered after 1,200+ sessions: stretch marks form where fascia is under the most tension. When they’re uneven or one-sided, they’re literally mapping where your body is holding patterns that affect baby’s position.

That off centre baby at 40 weeks? Her stretch marks showed me exactly where to work. The left-sided clustering meant significant left body tension—when we traced it back, found tight ribs pulling everything off-centre.

This isn’t woo-woo. It’s fascia responding to mechanical stress. Where there’s more tension, skin stretches more. Simple biomechanics that tells us exactly where baby needs more space.

Look at your marks differently now?

Was such a beautiful day celebrating amazing achievement of launching her second book 🎉

Postpartum is a deeply undervalued space, so an informative book such as this should be a must when preparing for the fourth trimester.

Forever grateful meeting and working with like minded women in this space 🙌

Congrats Sophie 🎉🎉
