- Feel confident and connected as an active part of your birth team
All so you can have your easiest possible birth — together.
There is so much you can do to prepare your body when you have the right knowledge and tools!
Note: Please call or email Whitney Marrero before registering for this class. Body Ready Birth workshop does require student pack materials from me and a release from your OBGYN stating you are safe to engage in light to moderate exercise. I will provide both of these to you after we connect.
