Prepare your body and mind for childbirth—working with your baby for a more easeful and best possible birth experience.
I believe childbirth education is an important and empowering part of preparing for childbirth, while at the same time being mindful of remembering to trust and respect the intuitive and physiological process of childbirth. It is also important to remember that though we prepare for childbirth the best we can, birth is still predictably unpredictable and each birth experience is unique. Research still shows that childbirth education is an effective way to increase your ability to have a positive birth experience.*
I completed a comprehensive childbirth education professional training program called Mindfulness Based Childbirth and Parenting. I have created a series of childbirth education classes that combine all the elements of what I teach to my birth doula clients but do not include one on one birth doula support. These classes are especially helpful to those that already have a doula or prefer to prepare for birth without doula support. I also offer these classes to those when I don’t have birth doula availability but can still offer educational support.

What is Body Ready Birth®?
Body Ready Birth® is revolutionary birth prep, similar to Body Ready Method®, however more geared for you and your birth partner/support person. It especially focuses on birth preparation in the last trimester of pregnancy… both body and mind! It is a wonderful option when you would like to connect and learn with other birthing families creating a sense of community. Body Ready Birth® alone is taught in two class segments with each class being approximately 2.5 hours long. (3 hours long for group sessions.)
AND… I am excited to share that I am now authorized as a Body Ready Birth® teacher to teach Body Ready Birth® in person to my local birthing community! I have added this powerful workshop to my comprehensive mindfulness-based childbirth education classes if you desire to take both. It can also be taken separately.

Childbirth Education Complete Series: $450
Combined with my BRM Pro® experience, BRB® teacher training and mindful-birthing expertise, this is a one-of-a-kind and comprehensive, yet compact childbirth education opportunity.
