In this episode, Doula Deb sits down with the wonderful Adrianne Buyer—a birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, placenta encapsulator, and Reiki practitioner in Tacoma—to dive deep into all things Body Ready Birth Workshop. Adrianne shares how this transformative class goes way beyond your average childbirth class to empower families with movement, mindset, and partner support that make birth a team effort.
✨ Here’s what we cover:
- Why birth is not just a physical event (hello, mind-body connection!)
- The power of movement during labor—and how it helps baby corkscrew through the pelvis
- How partners can step in and be true birth sidekicks (bye-bye, fish-out-of-water moments)
- Why oxytocin is the secret sauce for labor (and how touch supports it)
- How to harness affirmations, visualization, and emotional preparation to build confidence and calm
- Deb’s personal experience working with Adrianne on pelvic pain—and why this knowledge is a game-changer
💛 Key Takeaways:
- Movement is magic: learn how to work with your body and baby.
- Mindset matters: visualize, affirm, and down-regulate your nervous system.
- Partner power: bring them into the process—hello, oxytocin!
