Childbirth Education

“The creator is not a careless mechanic”- Ina May Gaskin

Congratulations on becoming soon to be new parents!

My name is Nora Abdul Rahman (@birthlings), a mum of 3, co-founder for The Nest Wellness Studio.

My passion in women’s wellness started in 2006, when I registered as a yoga teacher in Singapore. In 2014, I certified as a  prenatal yoga teacher. In 2016, i certified in childbirth education with AMANI Birth in Singapore. The year after, I certified as a KGHypnobirthing teacher, in London UK. In April 2019, i certified in the Spinning Babies Parent Educator in The Netherlands with the Amazing Spinning Babies founder Gail Tully.

~Childbirth Education class for expecting parents

Almost all expectant parents that come to my childbirth classes have expressed their anxieties with their upcoming birth. I hope to shed some light into the mysteries & miracles of birth and get parents to get educated, empowered and excited about their baby’s birthday! We also find that daddies-to-be will leave with newfound awe and respect of the amazing bodies of mothers during pregnancy, labor and birth and also leave the classes with the knowledge on how to actively support mums during pregnancy labor and birth.

Our CBE classes are scheduled every month. You can view available dates and register here 

I have more details on my classes please read ahead! (scroll down)

~Prenatal Yoga class.

The prenatal wellness classes are a good addition to the birth classes. In this class, we explore prenatal yoga poses that can help offer relief to some of the common complaints in expecting mothers and also help bring balance back to mothers to help achieve an easier labor & birth. I urge mothers to be active during their pregnancy to help maintain balance in their changing bodies.

This class is for expecting mums only.

For January-March 2026 prenatal yoga classes, I am currently only accepting private small groups or 1-1 arrangements

~Bite sized workshops

There are bite sized workshop available each month. Supplementary notes & materials are included. Please book in 3 days in advance of workshop date.

a) The Breathing & relaxation workshop explores anatomy of the breath to help mothers fine tune the way they breathe everyday and especially during labor & birth. The topics covered are :

  • key muscles for labor & birth
  • anatomy of the breath
  • science behind visualizations
  • Up breathing for labor / down breathing for pushing stage
  • short relaxation exercise

This workshop is for mothers only.

b) The Final stretch workshop explores stretches mothers can do  ( focus on pelvic floor releases ) in their final weeks of pregnancy and also maternal positioning during pregnancy to help optimize baby’s positioning in the womb- to prepare for labor and birth.  This class is recorded and will be given to mothers  so they can practice them at home leading up to labor.

This workshop is for mothers only.

If you are unsure of which class to take and when, you can contact me directly at  +673 88 000 10 and I will be happy to talk or text you through 😊

Love & light,

Nora.
