Pregnancy is a huge physical feat, yet most are not given the tools they need to appropriately and adequately support their body through this process. We believe an empowered pregnancy should include specific education and support for the pregnant body including the core, pelvic floor, upper body mobility, pelvis, and body alignment or movement pattern education.

Not only can this minimize or even eliminate symptoms and dysfunction that we are often told are "just a normal part of pregnancy", but it also prepares the body for a more efficient birth and a smoother postpartum recovery.

As a BRM® Pro, I work with pregnant people who want to optimize the balance, strength and resiliency of their pregnant body. I work with birthing people who want a professional by their side who can suggest positions and perform hands-on techniques to create balance and space in the birthing body to support the physiological process of birth. I work with immediate postpartum people who want a simple protocol to follow to encourage optimal recovery from pregnancy and childbirth. And I work closely with other perinatal professionals to help my clients reach their goals and feel empowered through their childbearing experience.

 

The Body Ready Method® empowers expecting and birthing folks to take control of the controllables of prenatal preparation and birth support. The BRM® approach allows them to feel resilient and strong in their bodies and prepared for the incredible journey through birth, regardless of the type of birth they are planning or end up having.

 

Why work with a BRM® pro?

Body Ready Method® professionals understand, deeply, how to support the pregnant body to find resilience, strength, and mobility. They are equipped to help you prepare for a more functional pregnancy and a more efficient birthing process. Moreover, these professionals are experts in pelvic mechanics and understand what to do during every stage of the birthing process to encourage progress and optimize balanced space in the pelvis and surrounding soft tissues.

 

Who should hire a BRM® pro?

  • An individual who is pregnant and wants to prepare their body for birth.
  • Somebody who has had previously difficult birth experiences and desires to be more proactive and find more support for their next pregnancy and birth.
  • An individual who is pregnant and worried about their core, diastasis recti, pelvic floor function, or other body issues.
  • Anybody who is pregnant and looking for a more holistic way to remain strong, functional and resilient through the entire journey.
  • Those who value function over fitness. BRM® is so much more than modified-for-pregnancy exercise and we value function over appearance.
