Supporting birthing people well requires both presence and precision, a deep understanding of the body in motion, and the ability to respond confidently when labour doesn’t follow the textbook.
Optimal Maternal Positioning (OMP) gives you practical tools, biomechanical insight, and guided strategies that expand your toolkit so you can support women expertly through pregnancy, labour and birth, even when curveballs appear.
Learn techniques that help:
Encourage pelvic alignment and mobility
Enhance progress through the cardinal movements
Support comfort and reduce unnecessary tension
Respond adaptively when labour slows or stalls
(This is not just theory — it’s applicable work you can use in real births.)Â
Beyond knowing what to do, you’ll understand why you do it and when specific protocols make the most sense. This gives you the confidence to support clients with calm, grounded decision-making.
This course draws on 19+ years of clinical insight and experience attending 1,200+ births. Ginny Phang-Davey bridges biomechanics with real-world labour support in ways that resonate with seasoned professionals and emerging practitioners alike.
You’ll connect with an active, growing global group of OMP ambassadors, midwives, doulas and allied practitioners, a network where wisdom is shared, questions are welcomed, and collective experience enriches practice.
Whether you are a:
Midwife, Doula, Labour ward nurse, Obstetrician or OBGYN, Childbirth educator, Physiotherapist or allied health provider/bodyworker
This program supports you in integrating positioning, mobility, and alignment principles with grounded clinical and non-clinical care.
Build confidence across a wide range of labour and birth settings with practical, evidence-informed tools that support women to make informed, empowered choices.
Set the stage for confident learning with a roadmap tailored to how professionals absorb and apply content.
Explore the biomechanics of pregnancy and labour, including cardinal movements and how pelvic alignment influences the body’s ability to progress.
Discover how to use pelvic mobility techniques, alignment protocols, and active positions in both antenatal care and labour support.Â
Bring together everything you’ve learned with clarity on how to assess progress, interpret bodily response, and select appropriate techniques when labour doesn’t unfold as expected.Â
You’ll also learn:
How to read movement patterns during labour
Comfort strategies that help rather than distract
How to support mobility without interference
Ways to reduce unnecessary interventions with informed, physiological support (These techniques extend what you already know they don’t replace your expertise.)Â
