Body Ready Method® —
Shifting the paradigm in pregnancy, birth and recovery

Body Ready Method® is revolutionizing the way we train during pregnancy, give birth, and recover postnatally.

Q: Is BRM® safe for people with diastasis recti or pelvic floor dysfunction?

Absolutely. Both Body Ready Prenatal and Body Ready Postpartum were designed with pelvic floor and core healing in mind. You’ll find: Safe adaptations for diastasis recti (abdominal separation). Gentle, progressive exercises for pelvic floor dysfunction (prolapse, leakage, hypertonicity). Cesarean-specific recovery guidance. Our approach is about healing smarter – not harder.

Founded by 2 determined professionals with over 30 years’ combined experience in delivering expert care, BRM® goes beyond what is typically taught and is recommended by Doulas, Midwives, OB/GYNs and Perinatal Pros.
We create evidence-based, online pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery programs designed to support families and professionals worldwide. These programs are reshaping modern clinical and holistic practices across the globe.
We believe everyone should feel empowered, knowledgeable and safe on their journey into parenthood and beyond.
This is also true for the passionate professionals who care for families during this huge transition… So we support them too 🙌 – our professional certification has trained 1000+ pros and we’re just getting started.
We’ve built a global community of dedicated birth and movement professionals who want more for their pregnant clients and share our vision of equal access to evidence based care, no matter your background.

BRM® is unlike anything else out there

Pregnancy, birth and postpartum recovery are no small feat! Both physically and mentally – this journey is a big one, yet very little guidance or support is typically given to support the expecting family.

Outcomes in our modern medical complex are abysmal and we know that families deserve better. We believe that with the right support, we can shift the paradigm of how we prepare during pregnancy, how we adapt during birth and how we approach postpartum recovery.

We know that for the best possible outcomes it takes a proactive, prehab approach to prime the body for birth (of all kinds) and recovery.

What you do during pregnancy can have a massive impact on both birth and recovery – by optimizing the core and pelvic floor to be more responsive during pregnancy, postpartum recovery becomes much easier – however the baby arrives.

That means less core and pelvic floor dysfunction, less aches and pains and less pregnancy and birthing injuries.

The preparation of the body and mind during pregnancy is often underestimated, but sometimes things happen that are out of our control so being ready and knowledgeable can make a huge difference.

And if you’re planning a vaginal birth – the same principles also help stack the cards in your favor, taking control of the controllables of making birth more efficient!

Our online programs teach families how to prepare mentally AND physically for pregnancy, birth and beyond. They include structured movement classes, pelvic floor training, birth position training and partner support techniques you can practice at home.

We need the pelvic floor to be able to yield (to let a baby pass through) but still be responsive (not leak when you jump, laugh, sneeze, etc.). We need balance in the body to help babies get into better positions and we need the core to be prepped for recovery once babies are earthside.

 
We empower families with the knowledge, skills and confidence for any type of birth. BRM® helps minimize injuries and supports families to be active participants in their journey at every stage.

 
Our expert-led programs are accessible to every level of fitness and ability. We provide ALL the most up-to-date movement classes and information and help shift mindsets and ideas of what’s possible.

 
Our professional training is a deep dive into the physiology of prenatal preparation and birth support and teaches pros how to navigate and best support families during this intimate phase.

The Body Ready Programs have helped 10,000’s of families rock
their journeys into parenthood AND BRM® has coached 1000+
birth and movement pros to help their clients with our
ground-breaking methods.

Our mission is to change the status quo and
support families to take an active role in their
pregnancy, birth and recovery.

We want to see less pregnancy and birth related injuries, less birth trauma and more positive and empowered experiences. With the right tools, information and support – we can help more families enter parenthood the way they always wanted. Our message is spreading across the globe and each year we teach more perinatal, birth and movement pros how to use our cutting-edge methods to facilitate more efficient, easier births. Which leads to less core and pelvic floor dysfunction and more empowered families!
BRM® is the only method that blends birth biomechanics, movement science, and trauma-aware care in a complete training and support system for both parents and professionals.

The Founders

Lindsay McCoy

Exercise Physiologist and Doula

Hey, I’m Lindsay! Co-founder of BRM®, Exercise Physiologist, Doula and a mother of four!

I’ve worked with thousands of families in person as a childbirth educator and birth doula and tens of THOUSANDS online since starting BRM®.

“My passion is pregnancy and birth.”

Birth talk was dinner talk in my house growing up! I come from a big family with a long line of Labor and Delivery nurses and OB/GYNs! So it must be in my blood!

I’ve spent years of my professional life learning about exercise and movement as an Exercise Physiologist and specifically how exercise and movement relate to pregnancy and birth – this is my unique skill set.

Caring for families as a doula and being present for the entire process has given me knowledge and skills you can’t read in a book or glean from a website. Supporting someone through pregnancy, birth and their postpartum recovery is an honor and a privilege I don’t take lightly.

I believe everyone deserves to feel strong, beautiful and empowered through pregnancy, birth and recovery.

As a professional, that means actively listening to my clients and giving them options to help solve their aches, pains and issues. Nobody should have to “just deal with” back pain or sneeze pee because they’ve experienced pregnancy and birth.

Becoming a parent is a powerful and transformative time in life HOWEVER it happens. Whether it’s your first or twelfth baby, whether you were medicated, non-medicated or had a surgical delivery – it can be a positive, joyous experience.

Helping families through pregnancy, birth and recovery is truly my life’s work.

I know that when you give parents the right tools, information and care, it can make a huge difference and lead to more positive outcomes for the whole family.

BRM® is revolutionizing 21st century pregnancy and birthing practices and I couldn’t be prouder to be leading the charge.

Body Ready Method® for Professionals

BRM® is a comprehensive training for birth and movement professionals that is shifting the paradigm within the birthing world away from unnecessary interventions and towards family centered care.

BRM® Pros develop a profound understanding of the pregnant and birthing body which allows them to take the support they can offer their clients to another level. Our graduates know how to read the pregnant body to identify what each individual needs, rather than following a script where everyone gets the same things. They also know, deeply, how to read the birthing body, how to encourage labor flow, and how to use physiological tools to support empowerment, progress and ease. Their care is vital and has helped avoid interventions on countless occasions.

Body Ready Method® for Professionals

Truly, BRM® Pros are changing the game!

We have created an inspirational community of graduates who all share the same vision – a world where there is no disparity in treatment or outcomes due to race, gender, ethnicity or wealth.

Where everyone has access to a care model that allows them to feel safe, heard and valued during their pregnancy, birth and recovery.

This is what drives us at BRM®, our passion to give everyone the equity to birth safely and efficiently. We are continuing to cause ripples as our movement gains momentum. We want to flip the birthing world on its head, shift the paradigm and remove the fear mongering so prevalent in our medicalized birthing society.

Body Ready Programs

Our pregnancy, birth and recovery programs are targeted
to each stage of the pregnancy journey:

Body Ready Prenatal

Body Ready Prenatal prepares the body for all types of birth during pregnancy with intentional training designed specifically to help the body adapt, minimize tearing/prolapse/abdominal separation and other common injuries. We take the guesswork out of training when pregnant and support our students to gain confidence in themselves and their bodies.

Body Ready Birth

Body Ready Birth teaches the muscle-brain connections that help you recall how to open the pelvis at every level during a vaginal birth. We teach students how to understand each stage of labor and what to do to progress smoothly. We even get your partner involved and show them hands-on techniques they can use during birth to help with progress and comfort.

Body Ready Postpartum

Body Ready Postpartum gives clear steps that help recovery as soon as baby is born. We show how to heal common postpartum issues like incontinence, scarring, tearing, prolapse etc and help calm any nagging worries or uncertainty.

Body Ready Method® programs offer you all the benefits of regular exercise plus so much more.

Our programs use a specific method that helps prepare key muscles for encouraging an easier,  more efficient birthing process – for all types of birth. We train the core and pelvic floor  in ways that actually work (vs the outdated “just do your kegels” or “squat a bunch” or “do prenatal yoga”)  and provide tools and techniques to aid the understanding of the pelvis and how it opens during birth. 

BRM® is the antidote to online confusion – all our information is filtered, vetted and collated by  the BRM® team with clear steps that help get recovery started as soon as baby arrives.

What are the benefits of BRM® during pregnancy?

Body Ready Prenatal was designed for helping you feel strong, mobile, and ready for an easier birth offering benefits such as:

Reduced aches, pains, and stress
Improved fetal positioning
Stronger, more balanced core and pelvic floor
Minimized risk of tearing and birth injuries

Can BRM® help reduce tearing during birth?

Yes. One of the unique aspects of Body Ready Birth is teaching you how to open the pelvis at all three levels and how to practice yielding techniques. These tools help minimize unnecessary pressure and tearing, while also improving pushing efficiency.

Is BRM® safe for people with diastasis recti or pelvic floor dysfunction?

Absolutely. Both Body Ready Prenatal and Body Ready Postpartum were designed with pelvic floor and core healing in mind. You’ll find:

Safe adaptations for diastasis recti (abdominal separation).
Gentle, progressive exercises for pelvic floor dysfunction (prolapse, leakage, hypertonicity).
Cesarean-specific recovery guidance.

Our approach is about healing smarter – not harder.

How does BRM® support postpartum recovery?

The Body Ready Postpartum program provides intentional healing from day 1. Instead of waiting 6 weeks with “take it easy” advice, we give you:

Step-by-step daily and weekly recovery workouts.
Guidance for healing tearing, scarring, diastasis, prolapse, and cesarean birth.

What makes BRM® different from prenatal yoga or general fitness classes?

With BRM®, you’ll find:

Biomechanics-based training tailored to birth.
Pelvic floor–safe movements at all stages.
Targeted recovery protocols instead of one-size-fits-all.
Partner involvement with practical, hands-on tools.

For example, Body Ready Prenatal focuses on preventing injuries and discomfort, while Body Ready Birth trains you for pelvic mobility and labor progress – things no general class covers.

Can my partner participate in BRM®?

Yes! Body Ready Birth includes specific partner training, with hands-on comfort measures and positioning support. Your partner will know exactly what to do in labor to help you progress and stay comfortable.

No. Most exercises use props you already have at home (pillows, chairs, towels). Substitutions are always suggested.

Yes.
