In this free training, a pelvic floor PT shows you how to break that cycle — with the no breath-hold technique, clinical tearing prevention, and the delivery room confidence your OB doesn't have time to teach you.

You've read the books, toured the hospital, packed the bag. But when it comes to the actual moment of pushing — nobody has prepared you for that.

You've read the books, toured the hospital, packed the bag. But when it comes to the actual moment of pushing — nobody has prepared you for that.
You're scared — of birth & pain
Your body tenses — muscles brace
You hold your breath — bearing down hard
Pelvic floor locks — can't open
Tearing — the outcome nobody wants

When you don't know how to push, your body guesses. It tenses. It holds its breath. It bears down instead of opening.
This is not your fault — it's what happens when nobody teaches you the technique. Your OB has 10 minutes with you in the room. This training fills that gap.

Join live this Thursday at 7PM ET.

Under an hour. Taught by a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Designed to fill the gap every birth class leaves open.

The fear → tension → breath → tearing cycle explained, and the no breath-hold technique overview that breaks it.

A breakdown of all 4 grades of perineal tears so nothing surprises you in the delivery room.

The #1 cause of severe tearing most moms never hear about — and what you can do before your due date.

Delivery room advocacy: exactly what to say and how to communicate your preferences — even when you're exhausted.
Your complete perineal massage guide — one of the most evidence-backed ways to reduce tearing risk — yours free just for showing up live.

I had been dreading the pushing stage my entire pregnancy. After this training I finally understood what my body needed to do — and why my fear was actually making it harder. Game changer.

Nobody — not my OB, not my hospital class — had ever explained the breathing connection before. Once I understood it, I felt completely in control. My delivery nurse even said my pushing was textbook.


As someone who had three deliveries before finding Dr. Betsey, I can't tell you how much this training would have changed things. The fear-tension-tearing connection alone is worth every minute of your time.

"I'm terrified of tearing and I don't know how to prevent it."
"I don't know how to push correctly and nobody's taught me."
"I know fear makes things worse but I don't know how to stop it."
"I hope everything goes okay."
I understand what causes tearing — and exactly what I can do about it.
I know the technique. I've practiced my breath. I'm ready.
I know how to break the fear cycle — in my body, not just in my head.
I have a plan. I'm walking into that room prepared.

I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy, pelvic floor specialist, and mom of four — including twins. After my own difficult birth experience, I spent years studying everything that leads to a positive, injury-free labor and made it my mission to share it.
I've helped 7,000+ students prepare for birth with clarity and confidence. This free training is the clinical knowledge I give my private clients — simplified and delivered in under an hour.
7+ years of graduate-level education. Been in the room. Know what actually happens. And I'm going to tell you what your OB doesn't have time to.
Severe tearing can mean weeks of painful recovery, pelvic floor dysfunction affecting bladder control and intimacy for years, and significantly higher rates of postpartum depression.
Prepared moms have better outcomes. The research is clear.

Everything you're wondering, answered honestly.
Yes — especially if you're getting an epidural. You'll push without full sensation, which makes technique more important, not less. The fear-tension cycle still applies even when you can't feel pain.
Hospital birth classes are broad by design. They cover everything from contractions to car seat safety and typically spend very little time on pushing technique or tearing prevention. Think of this as the class inside the class.
The live training is under an hour. Join July 16th at 7 PM ET, or watch the 48-hour replay at a time that works for you — even if the nursery needs finishing first.
Absolutely. Tearing can happen in any delivery. Many moms who had a difficult first birth find this training the most impactful — because they know exactly what they want to change.
Yes — appropriate at any stage of pregnancy. The earlier you watch, the more time you have to practice what you learn (especially the perineal massage bonus).
