BIRTH PREP COURSE
I had a 3rd degree tear with my first baby.
By my third, I had zero tearing and the birth I'd always wanted.
The difference? I finally learned how to actually prepare my body for birth. Now I teach other women to do the same — in just 7 days.

Jo Hartley, Registered Nurse
Certified Pregnancy & Postnatal Coach
Three Births. Three Very Different Outcomes.
One Lesson.
My first birth, I was terrified but tried not to show it. I was an emergency nurse — I'd seen everything that could go wrong, so I chose the biggest hospital "just in case." I did what most women do: read the books, went to antenatal classes, assumed I was prepared.
I wasn't.
Seven hours of labour. A 3rd degree tear. Long-term pelvic floor problems I'm still managing years later.
My second birth — honestly, I just went with it again. Episiotomy this time. Another difficult recovery.
After that second birth, something shifted. I threw myself into research. I studied pregnancy and postnatal exercise. I became a certified pregnancy and postnatal coach. I learned about the three levels of pelvic mobility that your body actually needs to birth a baby — the stuff that's barely mentioned in standard antenatal education.
I realised that no one had ever taught me how to physically prepare for birth. Not the books. Not the classes. Not even my medical training.
For my third pregnancy, everything changed. I did targeted birth prep exercises consistently. Breathing techniques for each stage of labour. Pelvic mobility work that actually matched how the body births a baby.
The result: I arrived at my local birthing centre and birthed my daughter 20 minutes later. No tearing. Healthy baby. My fastest, easiest recovery by far.
Now, as a postpartum nurse, I see the difference every single shift. The women who prepared their bodies — their outcomes are consistently better. Less tearing. Shorter labours. Faster recoveries. And the ones who didn't prepare? I support them through exactly the kind of recovery I went through myself.
That's why I created this program.

THE PROGRAM
Your 7 Day Journey
to a Birth Ready Body
Each day builds on the last — a complete, progressive system designed around how your body actually births.
1
Understanding Labour
What to expect during labour, and how to create space in your core and pelvis for your baby to move through with ease.
4
Opening the Inlet
Exercises to help your baby engage into the top of your pelvis effectively — the first level of pelvic mobility.
2
Breathing for Labour
Two breathing techniques: one for contractions, one for pushing. Plus mobility exercises to improve breathing capacity.
5
Midpelvis Mobility
Movements to help your baby rotate through the middle of your pelvis — the level most birth prep programs never address.
3
Pelvic Floor Release
Your pelvic floor needs to relax and lengthen for birth — not tighten. Guided exercises for release and awareness.
6
Opening the Outlet
The final level — exercises to open the base of your pelvis for less resistance and less tearing during birth.
7
Putting It All Together
A complete birth ready routine combining everything. Including 4 bonus resources for postnatal recovery.

From Women Who've Been Where You Are
Prue's Story
Christchurch
I truly believe the strength, awareness, and confidence I built in these classes were a key part of my successful home birth with no medical intervention. I’d highly recommend it to any expecting mum wanting to feel strong, prepared, and connected to their body for birth.
Jo really knows her stuff and has set up a fantastic space for women no matter their challenges
Kelly's Story

I’m so appreciative of the antenatal program with you. Made all the difference
Cherize's Story
Christchurch
I understand a bit better how the body works. Even in ways I never expected.
Take the time to attend this class to enrich yourself about how every muscle react to the work it does to bring your baby safely into the world. It's worth every cent.
Anna's Story
Rangiora
I have attended Jo’s pregnancy fitness class every week since approx 20weeks. At first I just signed up to stay active during pregnancy - however I have gained so much more out of each class... From breathing techniques, to learning about how the body works in labour, Jo’s always there to answer your questions, inform and tailor the exercises to the groups and personal needs.
Jordyn's Story
Christchurch
Jo was so lovely and knowledgeable. The pregnancy classes were a great way to stay active and feel strong to prepare for labour and birth. A nice, supportive environment to make time to focus on you and baby each week and feel good during pregnancy.
Katherine's Story
North Canterbury
The movement and exercise learning were also really helpful to manage aches and pains during pregnancy and prepare me for birth.
Rose's Story
North Canterbury
I met Jo at her birth prep class where my partner and I learnt a lot about our journey ahead and left feeling a lot more confident.
It's given me confidence about birth and empowering myself with the help of my partner. He learnt how important he is during the process too.
Milly's Story
Kaiapoi
There’s only so much reading you can do, so it was good to go through some practical stretches and exercises. I felt so much better after the class, just receiving supportive, informative words and encouragement from both
Erin's Story
Kaiapoi
I really have enjoyed learning more theory behind the movements and why they are important plus the length of the workouts is good as aren't too overwhelming.
