Body Ready Birth™
Body Ready Birth™ with Ellyn Gerry, RN, WHNP, LCCE, RPYT, BRM® Pro
Prepare for Birth with Confidence!
Whether you are planning on having a medicated or unmedicated birth, in this innovative 2 hour workshop you and your partner will learn and practice movements and hands-on techniques for a smoother, more confident birth experience.
This workshop is the ultimate solution for expecting families who want evidence-based tools to feel fully prepared, empowered, and ready for labor.
Through a blend of movement and discussion, you and your partner will learn:
- Movements that optimize pelvic space for baby’s journey through all 3 levels of the pelvis
- Exactly which positions to use & when for progressing smoothly during labor.
- Strategies to minimize (or avoid) birth injuries by utilizing breath work, pelvic floor training and functional core preparation.
- Hands-on Partner Techniques to support baby’s journey through the pelvis and develop confidence as a team.
- How to build mental clarity and connection with your body so that you can intuitively access these practices even in the stress of birth!
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
Your registration includes both the live workshop for both you and your partner with Ellyn and lifetime access to the student packet, PDFs and videos.
