What You Will Gain
1. Evidence-Aligned, Practical Skill Application

Translate biomechanics, maternal positioning, and labour physiology into practical skills you can use immediately with clients.

“Why didn’t they teach us this at university?”
— a question heard repeatedly from midwives year after year.

2. Confidence Across All Birth Settings

Whether supporting:

Physiological birth, Induction of labour, VBAC, Epidural labours Or births that deviate from plan. You’ll learn repeatable, adaptable strategies to support comfort, positioning, and labour progress and to respond calmly when complexity arises.

3. Instruction From Experienced Birth Practitioners

This workshop is led by Ginny Phang-Davey, founder of Optimal Maternal Positioning®.

Ginny is a global educator and doula who has supported over 1,200 births and trained thousands of birth professionals internationally over more than two decades.

You will learn from educators who have refined OMP through real-world application, not theory alone.

4. Tools That Create Immediate Change

OMP strategies can help to:

Reduce pain and discomfort in pregnancy

Improve fetal positioning, Support labour progress, Address stalls or slow patterns, Restore calm and confidence in challenging situations

These are practical, in-the-moment tools, not abstract concepts.

5. A Professional Community That Supports You

Join a private global network of 450+ midwives, doulas, and birth professionals.

Gain access to:

Case discussions, Birth reflections, Peer learning, Ongoing dialogue around applying OMP in diverse settings

You won’t be learning in isolation.

6. Deeper, More Informed Decision-Making

When you understand how to work with the body and guide women to do the same, you support births rooted in clarity, agency, and trust.

You’ll leave better equipped to support women holistically and confidently, whatever unfolds.

Hear what others have to share about their experience:

"The OMP workshop was so amazing. Thank you so much Ginny for sharing your birthing knowledge & wisdom. I learnt so much from the day & know that I’ll be able to support mums better just from doing your course." - Kate (HBA Practitioner Child birth educator)

"I have attended 4 workshops with Ginny and have learnt so much from her presentations and demonstrations particularly her amazing deconstructed pelvis. She is so enthusiastic, authentic and it is clear to see she has a wealth of knowledge and an abundance of inspiration to share. We have spent so many years focussing on foetal positioning, but I have always been convinced that we have to start with the mother – and now Ginny will be instrumental in sharing everything we need to know and more of what birth workers can do to help women before and during pregnancy, so we give baby the best chance of getting into an ideal position for labour and birth." - Vicki (Doula & Childbirth Educator)
