Pregnancy Strength 6 Week Course
Starting at Erina on Tuesday 18 August - a 6 week Pregnancy Strength Course.
Pregnancy is one of the biggest physical changes your body will ever go through. This six week program is designed to help you feel strong, move well and prepare your body for birth, recovery and the physical demands of motherhood.
Led by MumSafe™ Trainers and pre and postnatal exercise specialists, each 45 minute class combines evidence-informed strength training, practical education and functional movement in a welcoming, supportive environment.
You'll learn how to strengthen your body safely throughout pregnancy, improve your confidence with everyday movement, better understand your core and pelvic floor, and develop skills that will support you long after your baby arrives.
Every session includes a mix of mobility, strength training, breathing and movement coaching. You'll also take away practical tips you can apply at home, whether that's lifting your toddler, managing pressure through your core, or preparing for a smoother return to exercise after birth.
Suitable for all fitness levels, these classes can be adapted to your stage of pregnancy and previous exercise experience.
Whether you're new to exercise or already active, you'll be supported to move safely, build strength and become part of a village of local mums who are navigating pregnancy alongside you.
What we will cover:
Week 1: Build Your Foundations
Breathing, pressure management and moving under load.
Week 2: Strong Legs and Hips
Building lower-body strength and learning how to squat well.
Week 3: Upper-Body Strength for Motherhood
Preparing your back, shoulders and arms for lifting and carrying.
Week 4: Core Strength During Pregnancy
Understanding your core and learning how to lift from the floor.
Week 5: Move Well Every Day
Practising functional movements for everyday life.
Week 6: Fourth Trimester and Recovery
Early postpartum movement, returning to exercise and when to seek additional support.
If you cannot make a class you can do a make up at Ettalong The Village Collective on Wednesday.
The Birth Prep Course Erina 19 September
Preparing Your Mind & Body for Birth
A Full-Day Birth Prep Course for You and Your Birth Partner | 9am – 5pm
Most birth education teaches you about labour. This workshop teaches you what to actually do when it starts.
You'll spend the day with a team of four specialist practitioners — a Home & Hospital Birth Midwife, a Doula, a Lactation Consultant, and a Pre & Postnatal MumSafe Personal Trainer — who work with birthing families every single day. This isn't a generalist prenatal class. It's a full day with the exact people families call on through pregnancy, labour, and those first fragile weeks postpartum, all in one room, all focused on you.
Why Families Choose This Workshop
Most antenatal courses leave you with information but no idea how to use it when contractions start. This workshop closes that gap.
Birth isn't something you learn about — it's something you move through, respond to, and experience in your body. Understanding the process matters, but practising the tools with experienced practitioners in the room is what builds real confidence going into labour.
Across the day, our team will help you:
Understand what your body is doing during labour, physiologically
Practise practical ways to support and work with the birth process
Rehearse hands-on tools before labour begins, not for the first time during it
Give your birth partner a clear, confident, active role
A Team With Range — Not Just One Perspective
Because you're learning from a Midwife, Doula, Lactation Consultant, and Pre & Postnatal PT together, you get a rounded picture of birth preparation that a single-practitioner course can't offer:
Midwifery expertise on the physiology of labour and how it progresses in home and hospital settings
Doula-led hands-on comfort measures, positioning, and continuous partner support techniques
Pre + Postnatal Trainer-guided movement, strength, and pelvic preparation you can safely continue at home
Lactation consulting insight into the fourth trimester, feeding, and the early postpartum transition
You leave with one cohesive plan, built by the specialists who each live in their part of this journey daily.
What You'll Learn
Understanding Labour
What happens physiologically during labour
How labour progresses and what supports it
How to work with your body rather than against it
Movement & Body Preparation
Birth-supportive exercises to build strength and endurance
Pelvic mobility and positioning to support baby's movement
Floor-based and birth ball exercises you can continue at home
Breath & Nervous System Support
Simple breathwork to reduce tension and support focus
Ways to stay grounded as intensity builds
Tools to support your nervous system during labour
Hands-On Labour Tools
Labour positions and movement sequences
Partner support techniques for comfort and positioning
Acupressure for pregnancy and labour
How to use a TENS machine, including pad placement
Rebozo and birth sling techniques for comfort and release
The Fourth Trimester
What to expect in the early days after birth
Understanding newborn feeding and sleep cues
How to support yourself and your baby through the transition into parenthood
Built for Partners Who Want a Real Role
The most common thing we hear from partners is: "I want to help, but I don't know what to do."
This workshop is designed to answer that directly. Partners leave with practical, rehearsed tools for movement, comfort measures, breathwork, and positioning — so instead of standing by, they walk into the birth space knowing exactly how to support you.
What's Included
A full day with four specialist practitioners in a small-group setting
Hands-on guided practice throughout the day
Full access to birth balls, TENS machines, rebozos and slings
Take-home resources to keep practising after the workshop
Tea and light refreshments
Dedicated time for your questions and individual support
Who This Is For
This workshop is ideal if you:
Are in your second or third trimester
Want a practical, hands-on approach rather than another lecture
Feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice online
Want your partner to feel genuinely confident and involved
Are after a supportive, evidence-informed approach — without rigid rules or pressure
A Gentle Note
Every birth is unique. This workshop isn't about controlling or predicting how your birth will unfold — it's about helping you feel prepared, adaptable, and supported, whichever way your labour goes.
Ready to Feel More Prepared?
Spend a full day with a Midwife, Doula, Lactation Consultant, and Pre & Postnatal PT, and leave with the knowledge, tools, and partner-ready confidence to approach birth feeling calm and prepared.
