Birth Preparation & Prenatal Support
Personalised guidance, education and preparation for pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.
Our approach to Birth Preparation & Prenatal Support
Birth preparation and prenatal support at Holistic OM is offered through personalised sessions that support understanding, preparation and confidence across pregnancy and birth. Rather than a standardised class model, sessions are shaped around individual needs, questions and experiences as they unfold.
Support may include birth preparation, prenatal yoga guidance, education about physiological birth and early postpartum recovery. Sessions draw on body awareness, education and practical preparation to support informed decision-making and readiness for birth and parenting.
This work is provided by practitioners with training in birth education, prenatal care and women’s health. Support is adapted to stage of pregnancy, previous experiences and individual goals for birth and early parenthood.

Practitioners within Holistic OM bring different training and experience in birth education, prenatal care and women’s health. Support is shaped around each person’s questions, preferences and stage of pregnancy, with approaches adapted to build knowledge, body awareness and confidence for birth and early parenting.
