An online course to help prepare you for a vaginal birth
Growing your baby and preparing for birth shouldn’t feel confusing or overwhelming.
You deserve clear, evidence-informed guidance that helps you understand your anatomy, work with your body, and support your baby into an optimal position for labour.
This course is designed to give you exactly that.
Gentle daily techniques that make a difference
Created by a pregnancy and postnatal chiropractor with over 15 years of clinical experience, Birth Ready teaches you how your body actually functions in late pregnancy and birth — and how simple, gentle daily techniques can support:
Baby’s positioning
Pelvic mobility
Nervous system regulation
Preparation for labour and birth
It’s calm. It’s practical. It’s grounded in physiology.And it’s designed for pregnant women planning a vaginal birth.
What you’ll learn
This course teaches you the physiology behind alignment, space, mobility, and the ability of your muscles to release — and shows you the exact, simple movements to support them. By the time you go into labour, your body will know what to do.
And you’ll know how to work with it.

The course content
-
A calm, settled nervous system is one of the most powerful tools you can bring into labour. You’ll learn:
Why your pelvic floor responds directly to stress
How modern life (rushing, pressure, information overload) keeps your body in fight-or-flight
How that tension can slow labour or make it more intense
Techniques to shift into a calm, parasympathetic state
Simple practices you can use daily to help your body soften, release and open
This lesson forms the foundation for the rest of the course — because your body can only release when it feels safe.
-
Your baby’s position at the start of labour can make a measurable difference to how efficient and comfortable your birth is. You’ll learn:
The key ligaments around the uterus and why they matter
How sitting, driving and daily habits can tighten the ligaments and limit space
Why certain baby positions (like LOA) support easier progress
How forward-leaning postures and gravity naturally help your baby settle forward
Daily movements that create softness, mobility and space in the bump
This is practical, gentle and easy to integrate into everyday life — and can make a real difference in how well baby engages.
-
A flexible, responsive pelvic floor supports a smoother second stage of labour. You’ll learn:
Why a “tight” or over-activated pelvic floor can work against you
Why birth requires release, softness and stretch — not squeezing
How to mobilise the front, sides and back of the pelvis
How to create space at the pelvic outlet for baby’s head and shoulders
A guided sequence of movements and massage techniques to prepare the sacrum and deep gluteal muscles
These techniques help your pelvis move the way it’s designed to — giving your baby more room to rotate and descend.
-
Once you’ve learnt the principles and techniques, you’ll put them together into a simple 10–15 minute routine you can use every day until birth. This flow supports:
Baby’s position
Pelvic floor release
Sacral mobility
Nervous system calmness
Overall comfort in pregnancy
It’s safe, grounding and easy to follow at home.

One of the exercises included in this course is the Full Forward-Leaning Inversion. This is safe and suitable for the vast majority of pregnant women but I’d like you to read a few instances where it should be avoided:
This exercise is not suitable if you:
Have high blood pressure or pregnancy-related hypertension
Have glaucoma or increased eye pressure
Have been advised you are at risk of stroke or have any vascular condition.
Have a medical condition where inversions are not recommended
If this applies to you, a Mini Inversion alternative is provided, which offers a gentler and more accessible option while still stretching the ligaments of the uterus and supporting and foetal positioning.
If you experience heartburn or reflux, you may also find full inversions uncomfortable. In this case, you are encouraged to use the Mini Inversion instead.
-
