Learn Prenatal Movements, Comfort Measures and Labor Positions

With a Certified Body Ready Method® Pro

This 1:1 session reveals how we can work our body and baby for an easier, more comfortable pregnancy, labor and birth! Creating more mobility now, also encourages baby to find optimal positions for labor, and make birth less painful!

How soon can you start preparing your body for this wonderful journey? Anytime! This session is tailored to you, so I will always meet you where you are. We will learn all about the unique way you move through the world and create a greater opportunity to find more alignment in your day to day life.

We'll also dive deep into preparing for labor. By understanding your baby’s active role in birth you can support their descent in labor. The baby needs to pass through the three levels of the pelvis - the inlet, the mid-pelvis and the outlet - so they can come earth-side. Providers in general focus too much on dilation (what your cervix is doing), when the focus should also be: where is baby in the pelvis (station)? The combination of those 2 elements tell us a lot about what kind of position is most helpful at that stage of labor. Babies fit the space they have available, so let's make room for baby!

You will learn:

Individualized movements and activities to support a more comfortable pregnancy, and a healthy birth.
Bring your birth partner to learn how to help you have a more comfortable pregnancy, labor and birth
Learn about birth physiology and the "why?" behind so many comfort measures and positions
Learn dynamic movements and positions to help open up space in your pelvis, better engage your core, avoid common discomforts and more! Together, you and your birth partner can use these techniques during pregnancy, to ease discomfort, and during labor to help “make room for baby”.
Learn to help birth muscles to relax and add comfort now to ease birth later.

" Our experience with Rachel was smooth all the way. She is considerate, knowledgeable, respectful and very caring. She guided us through our natural birth from the pre-natal classes to our 1-1 meetings. Most importantly she gave us great guidance on the day of the birth and was with us all the way. As my wife said: "I couldn't have done it without her".."

"Rachel is worth her weight in gold! We absolutely loved being able to work with her, and felt really lucky to have her as a doula for our first birthing experience. She is warm, kind, reliable, creative, quick-thinking, assertive, and experienced- exactly the kind of person we wanted on our team when trying to have a natural birth in a hospital setting."
