Femiliarise
A nested word which contains 4 meaningful words: feminine, family, familiarise and rise. Femiliarise is an integrative midwifery approach and body movement service based in Oslo, Norway.
Its mission is to inform, educate, empower and support both women and families. Our bespoke approach offers services in the fields of parenthood preparation & support, lactation and reproductive health.
The body movement section provides tailored yoga, somatics and breathwork blended classes to assist your body and mind through the different phases of the feminine life.
Our approach
Our approach is holistic and is rooted in the natural and unique ability of our bodies to adapt, restore, find equilibrium and heal when they meet the appropriate «tools».
These «tools» are;
- Nutrients
- Exercise
- Environment
- Self-awareness
- Lifestyle
- Evidence based information
They can be used adjunctively when and where medical attention is needed.
The hybrid model that we use for our services is based on the pillars of telehealth. It gives everybody the flexibility to choose both the location and the environment adjusted to their personal needs.
Our services are conducted in a diverse, unbiased & non-judgmental environment.

Our Services
Family
Becoming a parent starts as a feeling and an idea and follows us throughout our life.
Αt Femiliarise you can find services which will assist you for this journey.
Lactation
Breastfeeding is the mammals’ natural way to feed their newborn(s).
Despite the multiple benefits it offers, it is often accompanied by challenges.
In every case, at Femiliarise, we develop a personalised plan with love and respect for the newborn(s), the mother, and the family.
Reproductive Health
Reproductive and sexual health is an essential part of your overall health and well-being.
At Femiliarise, we provide a wide range of services to support your needs.
Infant Massage
The practice of infant massage is a part of nature.
Considering that both the newborn’s skin and sense of touch develop through the first few weeks of life in utero, massaging is a way for the parents/guardians to help and ease the transition from the womb to the outside world, not only for their newborn, but also for themselves.
Movement & Breath
Yoga practice, somatic movement, and breathing techniques are proven to be effective ways to prepare, heal, and find balance.
At Femiliarise, our focus is to enable you to experience your Soma (body) from inside out and guide you towards natural equilibrium at any stage of the reproductive journey.
There is no "Hocus Pocus"
There is not magic piece of advice. The more you understand how your body and brain function the better equipped you are to meet every phase of your life according to your terms.
At Femiliarise we use tailored methods and «tools» to meet your specific needs and
requirements.
