BRM® Body Ready Birth Workshop
Stack the cards in your favor for your most efficient birth!
The Body Ready Birth workshop is a 4 hour live class with unlimited access to additional movement videos and printable PDFs to supplement and reinforce your in-person learning, and to take with you for your birth. You will have the tools to create a supple and strong body specifically for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. BRM® Birth Preparation gives you and your partner the tools to access pelvis-opening movements that become intuitive muscle-memory, through practice and familiarity. You and your partner will be equipped with THE SAME understanding of the physiology of birth, with special focus on the 3 levels of your dynamic pelvis, and 8 core movements, that can be combined into 4 (or countless) positions to make more space available for your baby and your most efficient birth.
Find your WHY through inner-work and communication exercises. Find the WHAT of tuning your nervous system to access your intuitive labor flow state, and find the HOW to identify where baby is in the pelvis, and what positions and movements can make birth more comfortable and efficient.

Comfort and Connection for Birth and Beyond
Tying it all together!
You are investing deeply in your best possible pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. Now take those same tools to the next level with a deep understanding of a calm and regulated nervous system, individually and relationally, through deliberate and mindful connecting, personally, as a couple, and with every member of the family. You will pull together your knowledge and skills including breathing, moving, and touch, and the simple and accessible tools for comfort, support, and connection that you have been preparing for your birth, and apply them to your whole family, and for the rest of your life.
Using the inner-work of attention and reflection, you will be able to identify and locate:
Exhaustion, hunger, tension, restriction, and pain,
Stress, decision fatigue, and executive-function overload,
Blues, depression, anxiety, loneliness, and fear,
Apathy, inadequacy, guilt, shame, and more.
Using narration and communication tools such as prayer and meditation, journaling, and speaking and listening, you can enhance the whole family’s respect for each person’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs, and know when and how to seek outside resources for additional help.
