wavework

wavework · facilitator training · 2027 cohort

carry the method into the room you already hold.

wavework is a rehearsal method for birth. the facilitator training is how it moves into your hands, into the prenatal sessions and the labors you are already sitting in.

2027 cohort · waitlist only · no payment today

the 2027 cohort is not open yet. the waitlist is, and the prerequisite can be met before it begins.

karissa in the sanctuary, moving with the birth ball

whose hands this is in

show me one wave and i can already see the threshold. i see where she braces, where she leaves her body, where the breath catches high in her chest, and where her own instinct is reaching to take over if she would only let it.

for ten years i have walked alongside thousands of women as a birth educator, a physiologist, a guide for altered states and a dancer, specialising in the pelvic floor and the chemistry of birth.

before birth, i built bodies and frameworks. i worked at mit, in higher education, across recreation, women's and mental health, and movement and physical education. i have led more than three thousand movement classes, spent eight years mentoring movement and somatic professionals, and built frameworks for movement that other practitioners now work from.

and the part that matters here: i have prepared thousands of women for the birth portal through the wavework framework, in one to one, group, online and in person containers.

wavework is what ten years of reading that same pattern distilled into. not a curriculum i collected, something i built from the labours themselves, so that one woman can hand another woman her own way through.

  • higher education at mit · recreation, women's and mental health, movement and physical education
  • builder of movement frameworks · the body as the practice

you don't rise to your affirmations in birth. you fall to the level of your nervous system patterns. so we rehearse.

who this is for

doulas, midwives, nurses, educators, doctors, and the ones who support birth in ways that have no title for it yet. you already sit with people at the threshold. this gives you a way to rehearse it with them before they arrive.

in the prenatal room

the rehearsal becomes what you do between visits. not another handout, a practice the person can run on their own, with your voice still in it.

in labor

it gives the two of you one language for the edge before you are standing at it. what you have both already named out loud is easier to meet in the room.

after the crossing

integration for the birth that changed them and had nowhere to go. this is the part of the work most practitioners are asked for and least equipped for.

the prerequisite never changes

wavework first, and your own embodiment with it. that order does not move, and it is not waived for experience. it is also why you can begin now.

one · the method, in your own body

you move through wavework yourself before the training begins. not to learn it, to meet it. the training assumes you know what this practice does to a person from the inside, because you will be the one holding the room when it does.

two · your own embodiment, ongoing

this is nervous system work. what you have not crossed in yourself is what you will flinch from in a client. we ask for a living practice, before the cohort and through it, not a certificate you collected once.

three · then the facilitator training

the 2027 cohort takes you from using the method with clients to holding it for others. the pedagogy, the contraindications, the reading of a room, and the ethics of standing at a threshold that is not yours.

both prerequisites can be met before the cohort opens. that is the point of starting now.

what is yours now, and what waits

you are already holding women. the moment the method is in your hands it goes into that room with you, before the training is finished. the training is what lets you hold it for other practitioners.

already yours

  • holding a woman inside wavework through her prenatal care, in the sessions you are already having with her
  • guiding her through the shared nervous system module inside the wavework portal, at her pace, with your voice in the room
  • bringing the rehearsal into how you prepare her for labor, and into the birth plan itself
  • calling it wavework, and telling her honestly where you learned it

what waits for the cohort

  • holding the method for other practitioners, instead of for the woman in front of you
  • training, certifying, or teaching wavework to others
  • calling yourself a wavework facilitator before the training is complete
  • running cohorts or practitioner programs of your own
  • the name and the mark, which travel with the training

none of this is a wall. it is a sequence. the first half is open to you now, and the rest opens when the cohort does.

the movement

wave-informed care is the future of birthwork

wavework is how prenatal care will be supported. it is the birth plan, rehearsed before the threshold instead of written to be read once and set aside. a woman should be able to find the birthworker who practices this, so there will be a directory: women certified and licensed in wavework and wave-informed care, in one searchable place.

women are the bridge. this was never going to move through one teacher. it moves through the hands of women who have crossed it themselves, and every one of them becomes a door for the next.

it is not built yet. when it opens, the women on this waitlist are the ones told first, and the first ones listed.

questions birthkeepers ask

join the 2027 waitlist

join the list and you will know before anyone else: when the 2027 cohort opens, and when the directory of women certified and licensed in wavework opens with it. waitlist women are the first told, and the first listed.

join the waitlist

one email when the cohort opens. nothing else.

the prerequisite · open now

you do not have to wait for the cohort to begin wavework.

wavework is the full method: the four waves across seven modules, moved through in your own body first, so you know it in your tissues before you carry it into anyone else's birth. the portal opens at your pace, and the prerequisite is met long before the cohort begins.
