You can find a video by OM founder, Nicole Daedone talking about OM here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vux_OSvTQ3w

Through the practice of OM, women connect more deeply to their bodies, their partner and the subtle sensation and energy available that is usually overlooked .  By being able to attune our awareness to this sensation, women find a deep sense of pleasure and connection available, in pregnancy, childbirth and beyond.   

OM is not just a practice for the childbearing time, it is a daily practice for all women who want to understand their bodies, sexuality and connection in a deeper way.
