Birth Preparation That Goes Beyond Education
Most birth preparation focuses on education, breathing techniques, and labor positions. While these are important, they don’t always address whether your body is physically prepared for delivery.
Your pelvic floor needs to be able to lengthen, relax, and coordinate with your core and breathing to support effective pushing and allow your body to adapt during birth.
That’s why we created the research-backed Ready2Push™ Method. Our hands-on birth preparation protocol creates physical changes to support pelvic floor mobility, more effective pushing, less tearing, and improved postpartum recovery.
The Ready2Push™ Method
Prepare Your Body
Using hands-on techniques to improve tissue mobility, reduce restrictions, and physically prepare for delivery.

Improving pelvic floor mobility and tissue flexibility to help minimize tearing and support your body during delivery.
Better Coordination
Improving the connection between your breath, core, and pelvic floor to support more effective pushing during delivery.

Created. Researched. Published.
The Ready2Push™ Method was developed by Dr. Brenda Heinecke after recognizing a missing piece in pregnancy care: women were being educated about birth, but not adequately prepared physically for delivery.
Our hands-on birth preparation protocol was researched and published, making it the first method of its kind designed to improve birth outcomes through specialized pelvic floor therapy.
After helping hundreds of women feel more prepared and confident going into birth, Dr. Brenda now trains clinicians across the country in the Ready2Push™ Method to continue redefining the standard of pregnancy and postpartum care.
