Feelgoodmama

Wom­en’s health is at the heart of our Feel­go­od stu­dios. We accom­pa­ny women on all aspects of fem­i­nin­i­ty, preg­nan­cy and moth­er­hood: from the desire to have chil­dren, preg­nan­cy and birth prepa­ra­tion for cou­ples (pre­na­tal), to recov­ery after birth (post­na­tal).

We sup­port you in feel­ing com­fort­able with all these changes in your body and your wom­an­hood. It is impor­tant to us to cre­ate a space where you can exchange ideas with oth­er moth­ers and sim­ply be your­self. We also want to offer a space for top­ics relat­ing to rela­tion­ships, sex­u­al­i­ty and wom­en’s health — before and after the birth. Togeth­er with Dr. Julia Rakus from Feel­go­odmed­i­cine, we have there­fore devel­oped an all-round offer for women and expec­tant moth­ers. You can find some of the offers here: 

Birth preparation courses

We have been offer­ing birth prepa­ra­tion cours­es for cou­ples for many years, because we know from our own expe­ri­ence that “being togeth­er” dur­ing a birth can make a sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tion to expe­ri­enc­ing this major event better/more inten­sive­ly. The course cov­ers the fol­low­ing topics:

• Prepa­ra­tion for the birth for moms & partners
• Phas­es of birth
• Birth posi­tions
• Relax­ation and breath­ing exercises
• Mas­sage tech­niques & hand move­ments dur­ing and after pregnancy
• Deal­ing with pain
• Emo­tion­al issues of the moth­er or the couple
• Post­par­tum
• Sex­u­al­i­ty after birth
• Exchange & questions
• and much more!

This course is designed to pre­pare you well for your birth, but also to exchange ideas with oth­er Feel­go­od­ma­mas and cou­ples. Because you are nev­er alone! There is also plen­ty of room for all your ques­tions and per­son­al concerns. 

And if you can’t wait for the course, we have a lit­tle good­ie for you in the form of a short video to help you pre­pare for the birth at home: Acu­pres­sure for expec­tant moms with Dr. Julia Rakus

Postnatal training and mama baby yoga

The invo­lu­tion varies from woman to woman, depend­ing on age and phys­i­cal dis­po­si­tion, includ­ing con­nec­tive tis­sue, mus­cles and bones. The invo­lu­tion is hor­mon­al­ly con­trolled and the body lit­er­al­ly begins to “regress” imme­di­ate­ly after birth. 

The moth­er’s recov­ery phase after the birth is very impor­tant. Allow your­self plen­ty of rest and pro­tec­tion in the post­par­tum peri­od so that you soon feel strong again. 4–6 weeks after the birth, you are wel­come to start the post­na­tal units with us. The post­na­tal units are about find­ing your­self as a moth­er and woman again in your old — new body. We teach you gen­tle but effec­tive exer­cis­es that rebuild the mus­cle bal­ance between the abdom­i­nal and pelvic floor mus­cles. The aim of the post­na­tal exer­cis­es is to restore good abdom­i­nal wall and pelvic floor ten­sion. We prac­tice with joy with­out overstraining! 

If you have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to come alone, all your atten­tion will be on you and your exer­cis­es. If you would like to come with your baby, we look for­ward to see­ing you both.

There will also be plen­ty of room for ques­tions and exchange to learn from each oth­er — from mom­my to mom­my. All ses­sions can be attend­ed as nor­mal with a 5/10 block or sea­son ticket. 

Women’s health and osteopathy

At the Feel­go­odmed­i­cine Cen­ter for Pre­ven­tive Med­i­cine at Schot­ten­feldgasse 71, we offer you holis­tic med­ical sup­port before and after your preg­nan­cy from gen­er­al prac­ti­tion­er Dr. Julia Rakus and her team.
