We want to make sure that every pregnant woman that wants it realizes she can have a functional pregnancy and doesn’t have to accept that pain and pregnancy is normal.

It is also important to us that we are able to train and certify other providers in what we have learned and found consistently so that we can expand our reach across the globe.

What people are saying

  • It helped me identify problems that I didn’t even know existed and modify my activities to keep me focused on my functional goal during my workouts and maintain the activity level I wanted throughout my pregnancy.

  • I was able to stand and focus in the operating room for longer periods of time and knew what to do before and after my surfers to keep me functioning at my best. My patients appreciate how much you helped me (and them).

  • Having multiple children while being pregnant made prioritizing what I needed to do hard. The BIRD Method helped me to focus on what should be highest on my list to keep me a happy and functioning mom for my kids, all of them, not just the one in my belly.
