Transforming birth through a deeper understanding of the physiology of birth and labour

About Optimal Birth

We deliver training to birth professionals and pregnant women.  Change the conversation about childbirth - helping recognise  the ways obstetric routines can work against birth optimising physiology using safe, non-invasive techniques.

About Molly

During her 20 year plus clinical career Molly worked in the community, obstetric units and in a midwife led unit where she  witnessed hundreds of undisturbed physiological births.  5 years later she’s shared her skills with thousands of midwives, obstetricians and doulas all over the world.

Our courses

Evidence based learning including graphics, videos, audio commentary and detailed illustrations. Content includes movements and positions, staying mobile, watchful attendance, better tools to recognise dystocia, positions and movements to help “stuck” labour and the conflict between some obstetric routing and birth physiology.

A fantastic course, great group interaction. Thank you Molly for teaching us & creating such a welcoming space for us to learn. I feel like I have learnt a huge amount that I will use in my education & when supporting my clients.

Thank you Molly for a brilliant course. I learnt so much and will definitely be implementing it into my work as a midwife and also teaching it to the students at the Uni.

Loved the course, found it so interesting, helpful and relevant to my practice. Molly is also very passionate which has been a breath of fresh air especially with what maternity services are facing at the moment. Thank you.
