Education for Parents

Our team of midwives and lactation consultants have enjoyed teaching small group classes since 2015. We’re incredibly grateful to have had the privilege of teaching over 2,000 clients so far; thank you for making our courses so well-loved! Our classes are evidence-based & interactive, with time to learn important information and connect with the local community.  

We truly love helping people to feel more informed, supported and confident in their decision-making. We facilitate birth, parenting, and professional education & deeply enjoy welcoming curious minds to our classes. 

Comprehensive “Classic” Course  

Our birth education is based on physiology, informed decision-making and best available evidence. We appreciate the nuances that come with birth & postpartum. There truly is no one-size-fits-all approach and we simply want to help parents feel confident to navigate their journey & have a positive experience. 

    • Supporting yourself in the final trimester (e.g. perineal massage, antenatal expressing, optimising balance in the body) 

    • The role of labour & birth hormones  

    • The phases of labour  

    • The importance of the support person & practical guidance 

    • Strategies for working with contractions (e.g. breathwork, massage) 

    • Medicated pain relief options (e.g. epidural, nitrous oxide) 

    • Potential variations & complications (e.g. inductions, instrumental and caesarean births) 

    • Postpartum recovery 

    • Helping babies adjust to the world 

    • Breastfeeding 101 

  • Covering our interactive two-day workshop with a registered midwife for you & your chosen support person plus access to digital guides & a reflective journal

VBAC Online Workshop 

A welcoming online space for parents who have chosen VBAC instead of a repeat caesarean section to explore the topic, ask questions, and gently unpack common myths and fears that they may have encountered so far. 

Perfect for those with toddlers, this short online workshop focuses on discussion, understanding and connection. For hands-on tools and comprehensive birth education, we recommend pairing it with our Classic Course. For those who are hoping to have 1:1 time for support in weighing up the choice between a repeat CS or VBAC, an appointment with our midwifery team is the best avenue. 

    • Exploring VBAC  

    • VBAC statistics 

    • Evidence on risks 

    • How to optimise your chance of VBAC 

    • Positive birth experiences
