Certified Body Ready Method® Pro

Magdalena Eschenberg

As a certified BRM® Pro, I offer 1:1 Body Ready Method® assessments.

Body Ready Method® is based on 5 pillars: Upper Body Mobility, Core, Pelvis, Pelvic floor and Movement Patterns. Incorporating these pillars into your movement during pregnancy can help you:

  • Have a more efficient birth

  • Minimize pregnancy aches and pains

  • Optimize recovery

  • Minimize unnecessary abdominal separation and pelvic floor dysfunction

  • Optimize pelvic floor responsiveness

  • Work smarter not harder!

As a certified Body Ready Method® pro…

  • I have a deep understanding of how to help you prepare for your desired birth

  • I can help you address and minimize pregnancy related aches and pains

  • I can support you in experiencing a smooth transition into recovery and postpartum.

“Pregnancy, birth and postpartum recovery are no small feat! Both physically and mentally – this journey is a big one, yet very little guidance or support is typically given to support the expecting family. Outcomes in our modern medical complex are abysmal and we know that families deserve better. We believe that with the right support, we can shift the paradigm of how we prepare during pregnancy, how we adapt during birth and how we approach postpartum recovery. We know that for the best possible outcomes it takes a proactive, prehab approach to prime the body for birth (of all kinds) and recovery. What you do during pregnancy can have a massive impact on both birth and recovery – by optimizing the core and pelvic floor to be more responsive during pregnancy, postpartum recovery becomes much easier – however the baby arrives. That means less core and pelvic floor dysfunction, less aches and pains and less pregnancy and birthing injuries. The preparation of the body and mind during pregnancy is often underestimated, but sometimes things happen that are out of our control so being ready and knowledgeable can make a huge difference.

And if you’re planning a vaginal birth – the same principles also help stack the cards in your favor, taking control of the controllables of making birth more efficient!”

— BRM®

All of my birth clients receive an assessment and individualized movement and I am also offering these sessions to non-birth clients. I am accepting Medi-Cal and Kaiser Permanente insurance plans for this service at a $0 out of pocket cost.

Your body was designed for this process, Body Ready Method® helps it remember how.

What is Body Ready Method®?

Body Ready Method® (BRM®) is a science-backed, movement-based approach to pregnancy and postpartum that helps you feel strong, resilient, and prepared through every stage of childbearing. Our work together focuses on understanding your body’s unique compensation patterns, learning how to move and lift safely during pregnancy, restoring balance with movements selected specifically for you, and supporting optimal recovery postpartum.

Overall alignment in the body’s tissues (from right to left and front to back) plays a tremendous role in supporting a strong, pain-free pregnancy. When the body is balanced and moving well, labor can be more efficient, recovery can be smoother, and postpartum healing is often easier.

When you commit to practice and intention with preparing your body for birth using BRM®, you are more likely to:

  • Feel good in your pregnancy

  • Have a spontaneous labor

  • Have a smoother, more efficient labor

  • Access intuitive movement in birth to help your baby navigate the pelvis

  • Experience an easier recovery from birth

Body Ready Method® aims to prepare the body from an individual perspective, addressing your history. Trauma, injury, and daily movement patterns all play a role in how we birth. With BRM® you are less likely to:

  • Have pain in pregnancy

  • Have baby be in a suboptimal position (breech, transverse, occiput posterior)

  • Need augmentation in labor

  • Have a cesarean for a stalled labor or arrest of descent

  • Have a long labor with stalls

  • Have a long pushing stage

  • Postpartum incontinence

  • Pelvic floor dysfunction

I cannot make guarantees about how your birth will unfold. I can promise you that Body Ready Method® will help prepare your body for birth to optimize your chances of having a smooth, uneventful labor and birth.

I offer Body Ready Method® alignment and corrective sessions to my birth doula services, and they are also available to non-doula clients. Sessions are appropriate at any point during pregnancy or postpartum. During pregnancy, we work one-on-one in your home to optimize balance, strength, and resiliency in your body. I may suggest specific positions and use gentle, hands-on techniques to support alignment and create space for the physiological process of birth. In the immediate postpartum period, I can help you establish a simple, sustainable recovery protocol to encourage healing and restore function.

What does this look like?

  • Functional Movement Assessment

  • Personalized Movement Plan
    Creating a tailored strategy to bring more balance and efficiency to your body
