Born Ready
Empowering Birth Preparation for You and Your Partner
Prepare your body and mind for a confident, empowered birth with our Born Ready course.
Led by experienced physiotherapists, this program supports you with expert guidance births skills to make labour more efficient including optional positioning, breathing, movement, push techniques, pain relief strategies as well as guidance on pelvic floor health to reduce the risk of perineal tears and improve recovery.
What Is Born Ready?
Born Ready is a hybrid birth education experience combining self-paced online learning with a practical, hands-on 2-hour workshop for you and your birth partner.
The online component is broken down into bite-sized modules you can complete at your own pace. It’s filled with factual, science-based content that explains the physiology of birth, your choices in labour, and how to prepare mentally, physically, and emotionally.
The workshop is where you put that knowledge into action. You and your partner will learn:
- Pain-relieving strategies like massage, TENS machines, and breathing techniques
- Birth positions that support comfort and optimal baby positioning
- Distraction and coping strategies to help manage each contraction
- Troubleshooting skills for when labour doesn’t go to plan
- Multiple birth plan preparation, so you’re never caught off guard
This course is just as much for the birth partner as it is for the person giving birth. We want both of you to feel confident and capable, because feeling supported makes all the difference.
Why Born Ready Is Different
What sets Born Ready apart is our respect for individual choice. We know that every birth is unique, and the right choice will look different for everyone. Whether you’re planning a home birth, a birth centre experience, or an elective caesarean section, Born Ready gives you the tools and knowledge to make informed decisions that feel right for you.
Even when birth doesn’t go to plan (and sometimes it doesn’t), our students report feeling more at ease. Why? Because they understand what’s happening and why, making it easier to accept changes in the birth journey without fear or regret.
