this is not another birth class - it’s a physiological training method that conditions your body for labor through practice, movement, and nervous system resilience.
birth is not something you learn, it’s something you remember.
⏀ the wavework birth training system
most birth education stays in the brain, wavework lives in the body.
if you’ve read the books, followed the accounts, and still feel unprepared… it’s not because you’re missing more facts.
it’s because your nervous system hasn’t had the chance to practice birth yet.
this is where it begins.
what makes wavework different...
⟐ inside wavework: your full-body birth prep journey ⟐
wavework is a 7-part embodiment system that trains your body to meet birth through simulation, breath, movement, and nervous system conditioning. you’ll move through each layer of preparation—from strength and alignment to emotion and instinct—so your body isn’t just informed… it’s ready.
🌊 module 1: the labor simulation blueprint
orient your nervous system and set the stage. this is where you’ll understand what wavework is, why it’s different, and how to begin training for labor before it begins.
💪🏼 module 2: physical body preparation
develop strength, mobility, and deep core awareness. learn to manage discomfort, align your body, and train the foundation for birth with science-backed prenatal tools.
🧠 module 3: mental + emotional preparation
release fear, rewire stored emotion, and integrate pleasure as a tool for labor. here we meet the emotional resistance that often shows up in birth—and clear it before it blocks you.
🌙 module 4: consciousness shift training
birth requires you to leave your thinking brain behind. this module guides you into altered states through meditation, breath, and visualization so you’re not caught off guard when labor shifts.
🔥 module 5: primal instinct activation (module 5 = formerly module 6)
train the 3 R’s—rhythm, ritual, and relaxation—to access your body’s natural instinctive rhythm. this is how we soften, surrender, and move with the wave.
🌀 module 6: the full wavework simulation
this is the culmination. practice contractions, the push breath masterclass, and recovery phases in real-time. simulate the actual rhythm of labor so your body remembers what to do when it begins.

⟐ your instructor ⟐
karissa is a female physiologist, birth worker, and women's wellness educator specializing in birth preparation, nervous system training, and embodied movement. with over a decade of experience in female physiology, hormonal health, and somatic healing, she has worked with hundreds of women to prepare for birth—both virtually and in-person around the world—through preconception, pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery.
her background spans corporate wellness, prenatal movement, and women’s health, but her work is rooted in something deeper: helping women remember what their bodies already know.
karissa is the creator of wavework, a first-of-its-kind approach to birth preparation that integrates breath, biomechanics, and nervous system conditioning into a fully embodied experience. this method was developed through years of hands-on doula work, birth support, and postpartum care, refining what truly works to help women train their bodies for birth, rather than simply learning about it.
she is the founder of golden teacher women, a community-driven space where women train for birth, cyclical health, and embodied healing. her mission is clear: to bridge the gap between science, intuition, and physiology—so that women step into birth not with fear, but with full-body knowing.
⟐ wavework testimonials ⟐
"i’ve taken other birth prep courses, but nothing felt as real as wavework. practicing the full integration of breath, movement, and nervous system conditioning made me feel like i had already experienced labor before it even began. when my contractions started, my body just knew what to do. i wasn’t panicked. i wasn’t resisting. i was fully in it, fully prepared. karissa’s approach is unlike anything else—she doesn’t just teach birth prep, she helps you embody it. this method is birth preparation the way it was meant to be."
— sarah t.
"before this, i thought birth was something i had to just get through. i had no idea i could actually train my body to move with it instead of against it. wavework completely changed my mindset and my confidence going into labor. karissa made me realize that birth isn’t about learning something new—it’s about remembering. i felt strong, intuitive, and deeply connected to my body. and when it was time, everything i had practiced kicked in naturally—like i had been here before. every woman needs this."

⟐ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ⟐
when should i start wavework?
as soon as possible. the earlier you begin, the more your nervous system can integrate this work—but it’s never too late. we’ve had women start at 10 weeks and others at 41. this system meets you exactly where you are.
is this for first-time moms only?
not at all. wavework supports any birthing person ready to connect more deeply to their body. whether this is your first baby or your fifth, this training brings you into a new level of awareness, embodiment, and confidence.
can i use this if i’m planning a hospital birth or epidural?
yes. this isn’t just for “natural” birth, it’s about helping your body regulate, soften, and respond intuitively in any setting. even with an epidural, you’ll still move through labor and pushing. wavework supports all types of birth plans.
what if i’m planning a VBAC?
wavework is an incredible tool for VBAC preparation. it helps release fear from past birth experiences, reconnects you to your intuition, and trains your body to move with confidence again.
how is this different from other birth classes?
most birth classes teach information. wavework trains integration. this is the only method designed to simulate birth in real time—through movement, breath, nervous system conditioning, and full-body rehearsal. it’s not just what you know—it’s what your body remembers.
what’s the time commitment?
wavework is self-paced and built for busy lives. you can begin with just 10–20 minutes a few times a week. the simulation module lets you rehearse labor in a condensed but powerful way. this is preparation that fits your life.
how long do I have access?
you get lifetime access to all modules, downloads, bonuses, and community features. you can revisit the material as often as you’d like, even after your baby arrives. due to the downloadable nature of the content, all sales are final and no refunds are provided.
