About this event

  • 4 hours

Optimal Maternal Positioning is a hands-on, practical and interactive birth preparation program designed to help both parents feel more confident and empowered.

Together you will learn techniques you can use in pregnancy to improve alignment and mobility in the pelvis to reduce aches and pains and create more space for baby, supporting them into the best possible position for birth.

You will also learn active and upright birthing positions and other tools to support labour progress and protect physiological birth.

At the end of this parent class, you will have all the wisdom you need to support


  • greater comfort in pregnancy and labour
  • a smoother pathway for baby
  • an easier, faster labour, and
  • a more empowering birth


Join me for the Aligned Birth Workshop: Practical Birth Prep - Optimal Maternal Positioning for Parents. This program aims to support your vision for a natural physiological birth with OMP pelvic alignment, labour support and upright birth techniques.

Like all great adventures, birth can be supported with preparation, and Optimal Maternal Positioning is a proven tool for supporting your body in preparation for birth.

Although most people hope for a natural birth, intervention rates in our maternity system are rising. And one of the leading reasons for these interventions, is complex positioning or non-optimal presentation of the baby.

The OMP for Parents Workshop is an interactive and hands-on class where you and your birth partner will learn proven techniques to create alignment and space in the pelvis during pregnancy and practical support tools for labour, which means greater comfort in pregnancy, an easier and more empowering birth, and a faster and more comfortable recovery.

As a doula, birth educator and homebirth mother, I have witnessed and personally experienced how these simple but effective techniques can help parents achieve an empowered birth on their terms, both at hospital, and at home.


During the Optimal Maternal Positioning for Parents workshop, you will explore:


  • pelvic alignment protocols for pregnancy
  • creating space for baby
  • active and upright labour and birth positions
  • practical hands on labour support techniques and comfort measures
  • overcoming obstacles and reversing protocols for labour
  • understanding birth physiology, anatomy and how birth works
  • using a rebozo for comfort, alignment and positioning support

You will also receive a workbook and the Introduction to OMP online support course for parents.


EARLYBIRD OFFER: Enrol before May 15 to receive a gorgeous Feelosophy of Birth guided pregnancy journal (valued at $52) as my gift to you.

You will receive an email with full details of your workshop, and registration forms after completing your booking.
