Pregnancy asks a lot of you. Your body is changing, your days are changing, and often the way you see yourself is changing too. It can be exciting, tender, overwhelming and joyful, sometimes all in the same afternoon.

Most of pregnancy care focuses on the physical: scans, checkups, blood tests. Those things matter. But there's often little space to simply pause, talk honestly about how you're feeling, and be around other women who understand what you're going through.

That's why we created the OVA Pregnancy Circle.

A gathering, not a class

The Pregnancy Circle is a small community gathering for pregnant women. There's nothing to perform, nothing to get right, and no need to know anyone beforehand. You can share as much or as little as you like, or simply listen.

Each evening follows a gentle rhythm:

Arrive and settle in with a warm cup of tea and a few gentle movements to help you land in your body after the week

Guided meditation to quiet the mind and make space to rest

Reflective journalling with prompts to help you explore what's coming up for you in this season

Guest speaker – each week we'll welcome a trusted practitioner, such as a midwife, doula or allied health professional, to share their knowledge and answer your questions

Connection and sharing – time to talk, listen and feel supported by women who are walking a similar path

You'll leave with practical insight from people who support women through pregnancy every day. More than that, you'll leave feeling a little more grounded, a little more connected, and a little less alone.

Who it's for

The circle is open to all pregnant women, in any trimester. Whether you've just seen two lines, you're settling into the middle months, or you're counting down the final weeks, you're warmly welcome. First pregnancy or fourth, it doesn't matter. There's a place for you here.

When

Tickets

Full series (all 3 evenings): $99. That's a $36 saving on booking each session separately.

Single session: $45

We recommend joining for all three evenings if you can. As the weeks go on, the group gets to know one another and conversations deepen. Each session also features a different guest speaker, so you'll hear from a range of perspectives.

Numbers are limited to 15 women per session so the circle stays small, warm and intimate. We expect places to fill quickly.

What to bring

Your own yoga mat

A water bottle

Comfortable clothes you can sit and move gently in

A journal and a pen

We'll have bolsters, blankets and blocks for you to use, plus herbal tea ready when you arrive.

Accessibility

Guests will sit on bolsters on the floor during the circle. If you require other seating, email us at hello@ovaacupuncture.au and we'll do our best to arrange something that works for you.

Please note the studio is up a flight of stairs and isn't wheelchair accessible. If you have any questions about access, we're always happy to chat.
