Ira May Aquanatal Canberra

Journey through pregnancy and beyond.

At Ira May Aquanatal Canberra, expectant and postnatal women in Bruce, Canberra can take advantage of a unique and effective fitness programme led by experienced Midwife Ira. With her extensive knowledge and expertise, Ira has been delivering exceptional services to women and their families since 2001.

Extensive research has shown that engaging in regular exercise during pregnancy, specifically 150 minutes per week, provides significant health benefits for both the mothers and their babies. To achieve these benefits, it is recommended to start exercising as early as 14–16 weeks into the pregnancy. Apart from improving overall health, regular exercise during pregnancy reduces the risk of caesarean section and instrumental delivery.

For those who prefer the soothing sensation of being in water, Aquanatal Programme classes are available at Belconnen. The temperature-controlled pool, set at a comfortable 32 degrees Celsius, provides weightlessness and relaxation. In addition to Aquanatal classes, participants can also engage in other exercises such as yoga, walking, or using a stationary bicycle to complement their fitness routine.

In addition to her Midwifery services, Ira also offers Remedial Massage Therapy to further support the overall wellbeing of her clients. Working closely with physiotherapists and osteopaths, she ensures optimal results and client satisfaction.

Joining the Aquanatal Programme at Ira May Aquanatal Canberra comes with various benefits. Besides the physical aspect, participants can enjoy a joyful and social environment, make new friends, and engage in brainstorming conversations while in the water. The programme offers self-paced learning on various topics related to pregnancy, birth, and baby's health, and provides easy strategies to prevent complications. By implementing these strategies, women can achieve a well pregnancy, better birth, and a strong baby.

The Aquanatal Programme also helps in building a stronger core and pelvic floor, toning the heart and body, boosting mood, and facilitating a bonding experience with the baby.

It is recommended to prepare the body before conception, as pregnancy challenges the integrity of the skeletal, ligamentous, fascial, and muscular systems. To support clients in this aspect, Ira offers Remedial Therapy Support bundles, which can be explored on the website.

The Spring 2023 term for the Aquanatal Programme with Midwife Ira is currently open for registration. Classes are 15 weeks long, and participants can join at any time on Wednesdays at 7:15 PM. Casual classes are available for $40 per session, with registration forms available at the pool. Dads and partners can exercise for free if space permits.

For those looking for more cost-effective options, packages of 5, 10, or 15 continuous classes are available, offering discounted rates per class. Additionally, bundled options including pregnancy massages are offered, providing further savings. The small pool entry fee is not included and should be paid directly to CISAC.

Ira May Aquanatal Canberra has a cancellation policy in place, ensuring that packaged and bundled classes are committed to continuous use and not for casual use. To claim a makeup class, a 24-hour cancellation notice is required.

Additionally, regular exercise throughout the year, especially during winter, helps strengthen the non-specific immunity and resistance to seasonal colds.
