The wonder births approach brings together movement, physiology and psyche to empower our clients through birth and beyond.

Our key approaches

Movement

Our movement methodology is informed by our training in Spinning Babies® yoga, movement and bodywork, as well our continued learnings in applied physiology and anatomy. We do not believe in a one-sized fits all approach; we tailor our exercises and manoeuvres - from squats to lunges, to myofascial release technqiues and comfort measures - based on your unique anatomy and range of motion.

Physiology

We equip our clients with an up-to-date understanding of the birthing body through a physiological lens, so that they can fully embody the experience of pregnancy, labour and birth - a key factor in having an empowering birth experience. Our trainings in Body Ready Method® and Franklin Method® allows us to individualise exercises and labouring positions.

Psyche

We educate our clients on the importance of the psyche and it’s relationship to birth and parenting journeys, and the impact of past trauma on their well-being at birth and beyond. We adopt evidence-based practices to help our clients manage uncertainty, anxiety and pain. In planning for births, we follow the paradigm of Birth Cartography® to help families navigate birthing systems.
