What happens when movement science, body literacy, and deep respect for birth come together?

In this episode, we're joined by Lindsay McCoy, founder of the Body Ready Method, to explore her journey into birth work and the path that led her to develop an approach now used by birth professionals around the world.

Together, we talk about preparing the body for birth, the powerful connection between biomechanics and body awareness, and how science can deepen, not diminish, the wisdom that has always existed within birth. Lindsay also shares her thoughts on childhood experiences, the lasting impact they can have on pregnancy and birth, and why empowering people through education and understanding creates ripple effects that extend far beyond the birth room.

This conversation is an invitation to think differently about birth preparation, collaboration, and the role we all play in creating safer, more supported birth experiences. Whether you're an expectant parent, doula, midwife, or simply passionate about maternal health, you'll walk away with a deeper appreciation for the incredible wisdom of the human body and the importance of working together to support families around the world.

• Lindsay's journey into birth work and the creation of the Body Ready Method
• The connection between biomechanics, body literacy, and birth preparation
• Where science and intuitive birth wisdom meet
