Danae Birth Doula - Optimal Maternal Positioning Birth Educator Sydney

What can I say…Danae is a birth ninja! She has such extensive knowledge on all things birth and I am so excited to have her support me and my partner in our upcoming birth. Not only is she super knowledgeable but she also has such a genuine care for her clients and women world wide who have not had the support they so desperately needed. She is so confident about her OMP birth strategies that she teaches in the workshop that she makes me feel so at ease and confident about my own upcoming birth. The OMP class was so informative and it blew my mind how much control we actually have over our own birth experiences by following some really simple steps and techniques. Thank you so much Danae for bringing this information to the world, it’s so needed and we’re so grateful to have you on our birth team!

Thank you Danae for a wonderfully informative and engaging course. Your extensive understanding of the stages of labour and the many different elements that are part of each unique birthing journey is based on such an incredible wealth of practical experience as a much valued doula and birth support. Presented with warmth, humour and honesty, the exercises included in the course were thoroughly explained and demonstrated, and it was invaluable to have the opportunity to give each exercise a go under your watchful guidance. After completing your OMP course, I feel extremely well equipped and confident in practical measures I can implement to proactively manage my own pregnancy and labour. Thank you Danae!

Danae delivers a very practical course to prepare for birth for birthing women and birth partners - jammed packed with really clear information and delivered with huge amounts of passion. Thank you Danae!!

Our experience with the OMP course was educative, reassuring and highly motivational. Not only did we learn a great deal about the birthing process, including how OMP can assist both birther and the partner at the critical moments during labour, but we also were shown individually how to perform the OMP exercises both safely and effectively by Danae. Her contagious enthusiasm will bring even the must nervous first time parent out of their shell, especially when they hear the more experienced parents at the workshop recounting their own birth experiences with a mix of awe and tender emotion. All in all, we left the workshop feeling empowered by the possibility that we could both actively help our new Bubba into the world and look forward to the birth with less fear and trepidation!!

Danae is inspirational. She is not only incredibly well informed about all aspects of birth (she’s up to date with the very latest medical publications so can communicate with OBs using their language…as well as having a vast network of alternative therapist contacts she can link you in with) - but she is also an excellent teacher. Her presentation of the information is really clear and engaging. She gives lots of practical demonstrations and goes into the “why” behind various options, so you leave feeling empowered to make educated birth choices.She covers in detail how best to prepare your body for labour. She teaches you about what happens physiologically in birth, and what movements and positions you can use in various stages. Her course also covers situations when your body and baby are misaligned and how you might over come this through movement, rather than struggling and ending up with unnecessary interventions.Her explanations about the various bone, ligament and muscular structures in the pelvis contextualises the positions and movements she teaches, and leaves you with a new perspective on birth far beyond first/second/third stage of labour.Danae also offers on going support through her yoga classes and is really responsive to ad hoc questions before and after the course.We cannot recommend this course and Danae highly enough.

Just absolutely blown away by the power and wealth of information Danae has. Her beautiful soul lights up the room and makes what i thought would be the scariest experience of my life turned into the most uplifting emotional, loving and magical time of my life. 15/10 recommend!
