the portal practice · for the women who just came through

you felt the edge of it in the practice. now take it into the body.

wavework is simulated birth rehearsal, inside a room of women. your body learns the crossing one wave at a time, until intensity has nothing left to take from you.

i am ready for the portal

in your third trimester or your first weeks of knowing: it is not too late, and it is not too early. it is your time.

your body is already keeping the time

your window is your own.

you are in your third trimester

weeks, not months. this work was built to fit inside a body that is already close, and the 7-day drop exists for the final stretch, when there is no time left to be taught and only time to practice.

your induction or cesarean is already on the calendar

a dated birth compresses everything. seven days of guided audio can still change what your body brings into that room, and it can begin tonight.

you are past your due date and waiting

this is the strangest window there is. something to do with your hands off the clock, that settles your nervous system instead of winding it up.

your last birth left you braced

the body returns to what it has not rehearsed differently. this is rehearsal, which is the only thing that has ever changed that.

you are afraid of the pain

most women are, and being told not to be has never once helped. here you meet intensity on purpose, in small doses, until it stops arriving as a threat.

you do not want to be a passenger in your own birth

this practice puts the decisions back inside your body before anyone else's hands are on it.

and if you are a doula, midwife, nurse or educator

this page is for your own body and your own birth. it is not the facilitator training, and it does not certify you to hold this work for other women. the certification is separate, it runs as a cohort, and it is not sold here. but you are in the right place either way. wavework is the path you walk first, the prerequisite for that training, and entering here keeps your name for the next cohort of facilitators.

inside the portal

only what brings it into the body.

nothing here is scheduled, so nothing can be missed, and that is the only shape that works when your body decides the timing. everything is inside the moment you enter, and it stays.

audio immersions

guided audio you move through with your eyes closed. her voice, your breath, and enough repetition that your nervous system stops treating intensity as a threat. nothing to watch and nothing to memorize.

facilitated video practices

karissa guiding the work on film the way she guides it in a room: the positions, the breath, the pressure, shown first and then done with you, so your body copies a body.

nervous system practices

short and repeatable, for the moment intensity arrives. what you practice here is what comes with you into labor, in your own voice and no one else's.

the circle

a private room in circle where the women moving through this work already are. self-paced does not have to mean alone, and here it does not.

the portal code

ten days, ten codes. you find your threshold signature, map it, and let it draw the line of your journey through wavework. you met it in the practice, and now it is yours to keep.

wavework · the method

the method and the room, together. nervous system mapping, the four waves, the architectures of birth, the rehearsal suite, the shared nervous system module, and the women moving through it beside you. this is the part that takes what you learned and puts it in the body.

the 7-day drop

a companion immersion to wavework: seven days of guided audio that condense the method and move you through it fast. it deepens a full immersion, and it was made for the third trimester, for the woman who is close and does not have ten more weeks to give.

the ripple

a share of every enrollment is set aside so women without the means can enter this work. your yes puts another woman at the threshold. that is the ripple, and it is the reason this is a circle and not a product.

there is no cohort here and no date to miss, because it opens the moment you do. what does not last is this page. the portal code and the 7-day drop are free to the women the practice sends here, and only here. anywhere else they are $149 and $97.

if your timing is the question, write to me before you buy. i would rather answer than have you guess.

everything is self-paced, with lifetime access, and it opens to you all at once, the moment you enter. because it is digital and yours from that first breath, sales are final. it is held for you alone and not for sharing on.

this is embodied education. it is not medical advice and not a substitute for your midwife, doctor or prenatal care, and it is not the facilitator training or a certification to hold this work for other women.
