• Labor and Delivery Support: Continuous support during labor and birth, including comfort measures like massage, positioning, and breathing techniques.
• Postpartum Follow-Up: A visit to discuss the birth experience, assist with breastfeeding, and provide resources for postpartum care.

Body Ready Birth Workshops
What is a Body Ready Birth Workshop?

Body Ready Birth is a program designed to prepare the body for labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery.  The workshop focuses on optimizing physical readiness through exercises, techniques, and education addressing birth biomechanics. The goal is to enhance comfort, reduce complications, and support a smoother birthing process.

A Body Ready Birth workshop typically includes:
1. Education on Biomechanics: Understanding how the body works during pregnancy and birth, and how to align and move to facilitate an easier birth process.
2. Exercise and Movement: Specific exercises that strengthen and balance the muscles involved in pregnancy and childbirth, such as pelvic floor exercises, stretching, and posture alignment techniques.
3. Breathing Techniques: Learning effective breathing methods to manage pain and support relaxation during labor.
4. Pain Management Strategies: Non-medical pain relief options such as massage, positioning, and visualization.
5. Partner Involvement: Techniques and tips for partners to support the birthing person effectively, including hands-on support and emotional encouragement.


The workshop is interactive, with participants engaging in practical activities, demonstrations, and discussions to understand and practice the techniques fully.
