Birthing Classes that focus on what YOU can do to get the birth YOU want and Early Parenting Workshops to help you be the parent you want to be.

Drawing from nearly 30 years as a midwife and 20 years as a childbirth and early parenting educator, I have created a one-day intensive workshop designed to give you the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to approach birth, breastfeeding, and early parenting with clarity and trust in yourself.

This isn’t a drawn-out course. It’s a focused, immersive day where we dive deep into how to work with your body, your instincts, and your support team to create the best possible birth experience for you. We also go beyond birth, because what happens in the early days matters just as much. You’ll leave with a strong understanding of breastfeeding, newborn behaviour, and how to navigate those first weeks with realistic expectations.

My intensive is designed to help you make sense of the constant stream of advice that comes with pregnancy, so you can filter what’s helpful, trust your own judgement, and step into birth and early parenting feeling prepared and grounded.

Cost:  $550 per couple

Practical skills to help your birth partner feel confident, useful and genuinely prepared for labour.

This hands-on 3-hour workshop is designed for couples who want to focus on the practical side of birth and, in particular, the important role of the birth partner.

Rather than standing on the sidelines wondering what to do, your partner will learn practical ways to support you throughout labour. Together, you’ll practise breathing, massage, acupressure, positioning, movement and other comfort techniques, while also exploring how your partner can help create the sense of safety and support that allows you to work with your labour.

We’ll also look at what happens when labour becomes more challenging or plans change, so your partner feels confident supporting you, asking questions and helping you stay involved in decisions.

Perfect as a stand-alone workshop or as a practical addition to other antenatal education.

Birth is just the beginning. Those first weeks with your baby can be wonderful, intense, exhausting and completely unlike anything you’ve experienced before. And with so much conflicting advice about breastfeeding, sleep and what babies should be doing, it’s easy to start doubting yourself before your baby has even arrived.

You don’t need a different expert for every part of life with your newborn. You need realistic expectations, good information and the confidence to understand and respond to your own baby.

My Bub Savvy Life with a Newborn Workshop brings breastfeeding, biologically normal infant sleep and newborn behaviour together in one practical, evidence-based class.

Learn what to expect from the very beginning, how to get breastfeeding off to the best possible start, why newborns feed and sleep the way they do, and how responding to your baby helps build connection and security.

The aim isn’t to give you more rules to follow. It’s to help you understand your baby, trust your instincts and step into early parenthood feeling informed, prepared and confident.
