There’s nothing more frustrating...
… than seeing your client struggling to progress in birth and not being able to help them move along faster.
You might feel like you aren’t quite sure which tool to suggest (even though you’ve learned many) because you aren’t clear on when exactly to use them.
Or even like it isn’t your place to speak up about physical moves during the birth, and if you did, the birth team wouldn’t listen anyway.

I struggled with this too.
I couldn’t understand why, even with all my training, I still couldn’t seem to effectively progress birth. Especially when there was a delay.
I felt more and more helpless as I kept seeing doctors intervene way before birthing people were even given a chance to try something different.
I knew in my bones, this had to change. There HAD to be a way to delay medical intervention and give the body a chance to progress in the way it knows how to…
So I went away. And I did all the reading. And I did all the research. I attended many, MANY births. Then I took all the wisdom from exercise science, anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics and applied it to birth and the ever-changing pregnant body.
I had conversations with ALL the birth & perinatal pros—midwives, nurses, OBGyns, doulas, OTs, PTs, chiros, bodyworkers, CBEs and movement pros…
And I found the answer.
I developed a method that changed the game in birth. And suddenly I was having those priceless moments again, and again, and again.
And more pregnant women and families were having their own priceless moments and having better births. And I knew more birth pros NEEDED to know what I knew…
And what I knew started WAY before the birth…
To facilitate the best possible birth, get involved during pregnancy
Know how to get your clients moving to improve fetal positioning and pelvic space.
Hone your eye to better understand the possible sources of common aches and pains.
Learn which movements will progress labor most, and how to practice the ones best suited to your client’s body to prepare.
Improve your ability to understand the big picture yet notice all the small things AND what to do with this information.
Confidently help your client prepare for the birth they desire.
To elevate your role on the birth team, learn essential skills to facilitate an efficient birth
Know what positions to suggest to encourage progress—delaying or even eliminating the need for medical intervention.
Be clear on what will work best for your client’s unique body (and why) to decrease pushing time and likelihood of injury.
Be prepared with specific hands-on tools to encourage progress and address delays, plus certainty on when, why and how to use them!

Accomplish this and more when you train in the Body Ready Method®!
“This is the best training I have ever taken… truly! Other trainings left me feeling like I didn’t understand the why or physiology behind the recommendations and tools. BRM® finally brought it all together and connected all the pieces of wisdom.
I learned life-long skills and tools to share with clients that still allowed me to stay within my scope of practice. This training needs to be a part of every doula training.”
– Cathy Gomez, Birth Doula, Nurse, Yoga Teacher, Mindfulness Based Childbirth and Parent teacher Parent reacher, certified BRM® pro California, United States
Know “what to do when” instead of worrying if you’re doing enough
If your client…
is experiencing a delay during birth… they need someone who understands what may be going on and who can confidently suggest positions and releases to make balance and space, facilitating real progress.
wants to stack the cards in their favor for an unmedicated vaginal birth... they might need pelvic floor yield and good core support.
is struggling with back pain or pelvic pressure… they might need to stop bearing down (and ensure their hips are well-aligned).
is concerned about a diastasis recti (abdominal separation)... they might need to be assessed for intra-abdominal pressure and given a set of targeted exercises.
wants to know how to optimize body healing and recovery in the 4th trimester… they might need the 5-5-5 and daily 7 protocols.
With BRM®, YOU become the expert, equipped with a thorough understanding of their pregnant and birthing body, what it's capable of, and the tools it will best respond to.

What our certified BRM® pros across
the world say...
“The BRM® training makes it possible for me to serve birthing people with deeper insight about physiological birth. Helping people have an optimal birth experience makes me feel more empowered as a birth doula. BRM® is the training that should be a necessity following becoming a doula.”
— Psalms Frye, Doula, certified BRM® pro Minnesota, USA
"The BRM® Professional Training completely reignited my passion for birth work. It boosted my confidence and reminded me how much I love what I do. I’ve done so many trainings and CEUs over the years, but BRM® stood out – it shifted how I see the pregnant body and gave me the language to explain the why behind everything I suggest. My clients notice the difference and feel more reassured and supported. The learning experience itself was so thoughtfully designed – it never felt overwhelming, just inspiring. Honestly, I didn’t want it to end."
— Berfu Gümüş, Pilates, yoga, dance instructor, certified BRM® pro Turkey
"After 20+ years working with pregnant bodies, this training gave me a whole new lens. The results speak for themselves. BRM® is more than a birth pro training course – it’s an investment in better care for all women."
— Rebecca Goodwin, Massage therapist, doula, Spinning Babies Aware Practitioner, certified BRM® pro Maine Birth Alliance Doula
"After nearly 40 years in birth work, the BRM® Pro Training gave me a whole new lens. I now see alignment and movement patterns everywhere – and finally understand how much they impact labor. This training has been the most comprehensive I’ve ever taken, and I’m using it with every client to support a more comfortable, effective, and empowering birth."
— Debbie Gordon, Childbirth educator, doula, nurse, wellness advocate, certified BRM® pro Utah, USA
Yesterday confirmed how important BRM® is to my base of knowledge to support my wonderful clients!
I had a prenatal #2 visit and immediately assessed several key physiological / tensegrity issues that were invading my client's physiological strength and mental & emotional upheaval! Thanks to BRM® , I felt confident to gently work key re-positioning into her lifestyle.
I left with her already feeling better, more aligned, and with a stronger sense of empowerment for her body as she navigates the final phase of her birth journey!”
— Roxane Thompson, Doula, certified BRM® pro I had a prenatal #2 visit and immediately assessed several key physiological / tensegrity issues that were invading my client's physiological strength and mental & emotional upheaval! Thanks to BRM® , I felt confident to gently work key re-positioning into her lifestyle.
I left with her already feeling better, more aligned, and with a stronger sense of empowerment for her body as she navigates the final phase of her birth journey!”
California, USA
“The BRM® training is by far the most comprehensive, well-structured and supportive birth worker training I have ever attended. As a doula, prenatal yoga teacher as well as manual therapist, I am deeply appreciative of the paradigm that BRM® brings to my work. It has enabled me to make my "why am I doing this?" clearer, and has given me the confidence to assess clients in an empowering language with the tools to explain why this movement or exercise is useful. What heartens me as well as a BIPOC birth worker is the racial diversity of the team and lecturers, the language of inclusivity that was used throughout the programme, and the deep understanding that it is important to talk about these issues too. Make no mistake, these things matter to us who do not identify with the majority race. I highly recommend attending this programme.”
— Dewi Chen, Doula, prenatal yoga teacher, manual therapist, certified BRM® pro Singapore
“The BRM® training has completely changed the way I support my birthing clients. I can now confidently recommend a position based on where the client’s body is in labor and where the baby is with intentional purpose. And that wasn’t possible after I took my ‘accredited’ doula training program. The BRM® training should be included in EVERY doula and medical maternal health program.
If you don’t know biomechanics, you cannot fully understand how your suggestions are truly impacting the person and baby you are supporting. Lindsay and her team are so generous with the information they share. It’s an intense few weeks of education, but also they teach it in a very practical way. Because of the BRM® training, I am more confident teaching my childbirth education classes, supporting clients prenatally when they feel ‘common’ pregnancy discomforts and can provide tools postpartum to gently ease them back into a fitness routine. I am so grateful for the work that they do and am excited to share it with my local community.”
—Fiona Wright, Childbirth educator, doula, lactation counselor, womb steam facilitator, certified BRM® pro New York, USA
“The BRM® training was the best, most comprehensive and most professional add-on training I could have ever taken as a full spectrum doula. I now not only understand physiological birth better, but I understand the whole body better. Because of the BRM® training, I now have skills that allow me to help my clients thrive in pregnancy, make birth easier and heal better postpartum. In my opinion every birth professional should have this knowledge and take this training! I feel so much more confident and prepared and am so deeply grateful to have had this amazing learning experience.”
— Mona Alkhelewi, Doula, yoga teacher, certified BRM® proAustria
"The BRM® Professional Training gave me the confidence to support my clients more intentionally – and to stand strong in birth spaces, even alongside skeptical medical teams. I now assess where each client is and use the right tools to help them reach their goals. This training deepens your understanding of the birthing body – and reminds us all to trust its power."
— Rose Mireille Exumé, IBCLC, Childbirth educator, Certified doula, certified BRM® pro Haiti
“I loved every minute of the training and all aha moments. İt’s priceless. Thank you so much the entire BRM® team for creating a space for all people around the world to come together and be part of something big like BRM® !”

It is extremely comprehensive and everyone who facilitates is helpful and encouraging.
I am so much more confident in meeting people where they are and being more body aware. Thank you a million times over!”
— Lindsey Shigemoto, Doula, certified BRM® pro Michigan, U.S.A.

— Gemma Mrizo, Childbirth educator, doula, certified BRM® pro California, USA
“BRM® training was one of the best learning experiences I have had. I was finally able to figure out which tools to use and when to use them during a birth. Every technique and move became clear after getting to know the physiology behind it. The BRM® training has given me the confidence to aid people in birth like a PRO, having an active role in shifting the paradigm for birth.”
— Anam Zaidi, Doula, certified BRM® pro Pakistan
“I am the talk of the hospital using all that BRM® has taught me!” "I am the talk of the hospital using all that BRM® has taught me!"
— Lee-Anna Keats, Midwife, certified BRM® pro Australia

Yes, they'll need less massage and bodywork… but that's a good thing!”

I’ve already seen a shift in how I support clients – validating their experience and offering tools that bring real relief. This training takes the mystery out of birth work and empowers you with science-based, practical support."
— Bre Striff, Doula, childbirth educator, certified BRM® pro California, USA
“This is a must-take course for anyone working with pregnant women. The course is of high quality both in terms of logistics and content—it’s detailed, in-depth, and practical.
It’s already had an mazing impact on my work! I’m integrating the new knowledge into the yoga classes I teach for pregnant women and in personal sessions, and I feel that now I have so many tools to help with specific issues in a very precise and effective way.”

What these active birth pros added to their toolboxes…
“This training is changing lives and it’s got a ripple effect without end.

This has been the most valuable training to my work by far.”
— Leslie Maria Matos, Doula, CBD (AWWS), certified lactation support counselor, certified BRM® pro Connecticut USA

— Michelle Gosselin, Doula, certified BRM® pro New Hampshire, USA
“BRM® offers priceless information to confidently share with and support my clients throughout their pregnancies and beyond. This training is the most comprehensive birth body preparation class I have taken, greatly increasing my knowledge and confidence in the way I approach my work.”
— Anne Heckheimer, Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified RYC® Teacher, Spinning Babies® Aware, Arvigo® Practitioner, certified BRM® pro New York, USA
"This training deepened my understanding of body biomechanics – deepening what I started learning with Spinning Babies. I now feel more confident choosing the right tools to support labor. It’s a truly complete and valuable training."
— Silvia Dossi, Midwife, certified BRM® pro Italy
“As a fertility and birth doula, the Body Ready Method® training has been one of the most invaluable trainings that I have taken thus far in my career. The depth of knowledge, insight, and skills I have gained from this training have dynamically changed the way I practice. I have a deepened understanding of the biomechanics and how different compensation patterns can affect labor and birth. Furthermore, I have concrete tools to help the people I serve be more optimally prepared physically for labor and delivery, and for when challenges arise. I feel more confident in my work as a doula and better equipped to serve. I honestly think that this training should be a requirement for doula certification. I HIGHLY recommend taking the Body Ready Method® training as it will enhance your skills as a provider. You WILL NOT be disappointed !“
— Jazman Allen, Doula, certified BRM® pro Texas, USA
“This training has helped me understand the process of pregnancy and labor so much more than any nursing text book could. BRM® has supported me in becoming a “detective”, to assess what tools/tips would be the most effective for my patient’s individual needs, and allowed me to support naturally progressing labor. My patients are no longer pushing for 4+ hours, I am able to prevent decelerations in the baby's heart rate and there my patients experience fewer primary c-sections. I am so grateful to the BRM® team for this!”
— Shaylene Carter, Labor & delivery nurse, certified BRM® proNew Jersey, USA
“The BRM® training is easily one of the best I've ever taken. It connected the dots for me, providing a holistic approach to pregnancy, birth & recovery, rather than just throwing out tricks to spot treat an issue. This program prepares you to work with your clients prenatally, in order to help them balance their body for an optimal birth and recovery. BRM® explains why certain techniques we learn as doulas work, the timing with which to implement and how to help your client prepare ahead of birth. It has given me much more confidence to support my clients. Having the ability to assess what is happening in their body at a given time and then offer tools to optimize their body for birth and recovery is a game changer in the way that I practice. Additionally, I am able to incorporate this training into my pre & postnatal dance classes to further support my clients with preparing for birth and restoring their bodies afterward. I highly recommend this training to all doulas.”
— Kemeera Nimahat, Doula, movement pro, certified BRM® pro Illinois, USA
"BRM® took what I was already teaching and gave me the why – plus the tools to individualize it. It boosted my confidence, sharpened my birth detective skills, and opened my eyes to a whole new level of care.

— Amanda Kay, Childbirth educator, certified BRM® pro Louisiana, USA

— Chatequa Campbell, Doula, certified BRM® pro New York, USA

— Vanja Rizvic, OT, certified BRM® pro Oslo, Norway

— Susan Pokorny, Doula, Pilates teacher, yoga teacher, movement/fitness pro, certified BRM® pro Wisconsin, USA

— Molly Casey Duffy, Doula, certified BRM® pro Virginia, USA

— Paeonia Sherrow, Student midwife, bodyworker, certified BRM® pro North Carolina, USA

— Aly Romot, Doula, Certified Lactation Counselor®, HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator, Evidence Based Birth® Instructor, certified BRM® pro Ohio, USA
“The BRM® training has transformed my doula practice! It taught me how to look at the pregnant body prenatally and while in labor to help facilitate better birth outcomes. BRM® has given me the tools to identify weaknesses and imbalances in the body so that I can assist in providing tools for clients to bring awareness to and help improve body alignment.”
— Briana Vega, Doula, CBE, certified BRM® proCalifornia, USA
“In one word I LOVE this training. Everything is evidence based and scientific! The BRM® training makes it possible for me to support my clients' goal of a smooth labor and delivery. Because of the BRM® training I have been able to look through clients' physiological journey during pregnancy, clues to look at during labor progress and to guide them through the postpartum period with proper knowledge.”
— Kazi Nabia, Doula, certified BRM® proBangladesh
"I use what I learned in the BRM® Professional Training with every birth and massage client now. It gave me the missing piece – the why behind positions and techniques – and boosted my confidence in assessing and supporting the body before and during birth. I only wish I’d learned it sooner."
— Julia Martin, Doula, massage therapist, , certified BRM® pro Oregon, USA
"BRM® gave me a more organized way to approach birth prep and offer more targeted education based on each client’s needs. It also helped me understand the reasoning behind the concepts I teach, which made it all click."
— Janice Bacak, PT, DPT, certified BRM® pro Ohio, USA
“Can’t tell you how grateful I am for this training. I’ve been in the birth world for 30 years and a professional CBE and birth doula for 12. I know what I’m doing at a birth but now I can better prepare my clients before labor and I have a clearer understanding of when to use "tools" and why.”
— Suzanne Castro-Miller, Doula, CBE, certified BRM® pro Kansas, USA
“I have taken countless courses, but the Body Ready Method® training has been an absolute game changer. As an experienced birth doula, I have quite a full tool box for supporting clients in pregnancy and throughout labor. The Body Ready Method® helped me dive deeper into biomechanics of those tools, and learn how to better adapt and apply them in my work. I also gained many new hands-on tools for assessing clients, how they move and how to best encourage their most comfortable experience. Though the training is quite long, every single week provided exceptional content. Not only was I learning quality information, I was taught how to actually apply what I was learning.
