Birth Ready: A Crash Course in Birth Education

A half-day, hands-on workshop for couples who want real skills, not just information.

If you’re expecting a baby—and especially if you’re hoping for a smoother, more empowered experience this time around—this workshop is for you. Birth Ready is your no-nonsense, movement-based crash course in how labor works, what to expect, and how to actually prepare your mind and body for the birth experience you want.

Led by Elise Hall—birth doula, prenatal yoga teacher, and perinatal fitness and pelvic floor specialist—this workshop combines just-the-essentials birth education with partner practice, movement, breathwork, and physical prep.

We’ll cover:

-What’s going on in labor (and how to tell where you are)
-How to manage contractions with breath, movement, and mindset
-What your partner can actually do to support you—and how to practice it now
-Prenatal yoga and body-based strategies to prep for labor and birth
-How to navigate the unexpected with confidence, calm, and flexibility

This isn’t a sit-and-listen lecture. We’ll move, breathe, and practice—so when labor starts, you’re not guessing. You’ll have tools you’ve tried, support you trust, and the confidence to meet your birth with clarity and calm.

Perfect for first-time parents or experienced couples who want to prepare differently. Come as you are. Leave birth ready.
