The Foundation of the Body Ready Birth

The Body Ready Birth  program uses the "ICE" methodology:

  • Innerwork: Cultivates self-awareness and transforms your mindset surrounding the birth process, promoting resilience and positivity.

  • Communication: Learn to communicate effectively with yourself and your support team (including doulas) to ensure your needs and preferences are understood throughout labor.

  • Education: We provide the knowledge you need to understand your body's processes,  the physical aspects of birth to make informed decisions, and advocate for the birth experience you desire. 

Movements for Labor and Beyond

  • Practice the most effective birth positions before birth so you’re ready to intuitively find the position your body needs when it needs it

  • Create functional mobility in your pelvis to proactively address common musculoskeletal reasons for delays in labor

  • Prepare all 3 levels of the pelvis differently so you can open it for exactly where baby is during labor

  • Get your partner ready by practicing hands-on techniques together

  • Empower yourself to be an active part of birthing your baby and stack the cards in your favor for a more efficient birthing process

Birth Models

The Body Ready Birth workshop is designed to inform expecting individuals on both the medical and physiological birth models, empowering you to make choices that align with your preferences and needs. While the medical model views birth as a process to be managed with intervention, the physiological model emphasizes the natural flow and balance of childbirth. By understanding both, you can approach your birth with confidence.

With this class, you get:

  • 4 hours in-person class time, in the comfort of your own home, to learn and practice functional movement

  • Hands-on support techniques to practice with your partner

  • Time to ask questions and gain knowledge from a certified Body Ready Method Pro

  • Printable handouts for easy reference during labor
