As a birth professional, you’ve dedicated your life to supporting women through one of the most vulnerable and transformative experiences of their lives. You’re there for joy, for strength, for comfort — and for uncertainty.
But sometimes uncertainty shows up as
A labour that stalls
Slow progress despite best support
Conflicting advice in the room
FEAR
Or simply not knowing exactly what to do next
Optimal Maternal Positioning (OMP) gives you the clarity, language, and hands-on tools to confidently support labour progress, understand what the body is doing, and respond effectively with grounded skill, not guesswork.
Supporting Birth Requires More Than Knowledge
As a birth professional, you bring presence, experience, and care into every birth space. You support families with skill, advocate for physiology, and hold calm when things feel uncertain.And like all complex, real-world work, birth sometimes presents moments that invite deeper understanding — not because anything is missing, but because the body is responding in nuanced ways.
Optimal Maternal Positioning (OMP) offers a framework that helps you interpret those moments more clearly and respond with greater precision and confidence.

Empowered Mama
“Hi Ginny - I was the other heavily pregnant midwife at your Brisbane class:) I had quite an ordeal with my first birth stalled at fd @ spines with lots of intervention, failed vacuum and an emergency cesarean with scar extension and ligament damage and a two week hospital stay 😩..... I religiously did you daily routine From 34 weeks, stretched and became familiar with the labour openers and they became second nature on the day. My waters broke yesterday at 11 am- I popped my toddler to bed at 7:15pm we did the daily routine and the contractions started fast and fierce immediately as I stood from the inversion .I was rocking, swaying, stomping opening every pelvic diameter I could - I used every technique you taught us. I made it To hospital roaring my birth song on all fours in the foyer of the hospital. My Baby girl 4029 kgs, I’m 163cms tall arrived with me reclined on my left side soon after some amazing hip openers (pushing on the top of my hips) -that did the trick to bring her past my spines!!! From first contraction it was 3hrs later and I was holding her in my arms! I was home 6 hours later, without a single complication, happy and healthy mum and Bub. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, I truly believe it helped me achieve my vbac this time! 😍 sending lots of love 💕 x”
