Mission statement of Optimal Pregnancy and Birth. My goal is to support every woman to have her optimal pregnancy and birth, for it to be as ideal as possible according to her life values and needs. I wish for every woman to have a healthy and enjoyable pregnancy and birth. In my work as a Birth Doula, Manual Osteopath, and Massage Therapist, I always do my best to help women to have that experience. All the services of Optimal Pregnancy and Birth are provided by Frida Hauksdottir. Frida is a British trained Manual Osteopath (Bodywork), Certified Massage Therapist, Certified Birth Doula, and a Massage Teacher for pregnancy, birth and new parents. Frida has specialized in treating pregnant women and was a part of a team in a holistic pregnancy wellness center in Iceland. Her treatment methods are uniquely suited for pregnant women aiding them with aches and pains, as well as stress. Simply explained osteopathic manual therapy is a treatment system using a hands on approach to treat many physical aches and pains, as well as stiffness, related to any region of the body. Osteopathic manual practitioners work to restore your body to a state of balance, where possible and without the use of drugs or surgery. The manual osteopath uses a vast array of techniques including osteopathic manual therapy, specialized joint mobility techniques, visceral techniques, stretching and massage techniques. The aim is to relieve pain, to reduce muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, to help your body’s own healing mechanisms, and to restore restricted joints back to normal function through stretching and soft tissue release that an osteopath can achieve with their specialized training. Through teaching her workshop and as a Birth Doula Frida has so far assisted close to 500 couples during pregnancy, preparing them for birth. Her successful methods have proved to be very beneficial to expectant mothers for easier pregnancy and birth. As a Birth Doula Frida is committed to support the hopes and life values of each and every woman she work for. It is Frida's true goal to serve the mother and her family to the best of her ability.
