We often hear people state ‘a healthy baby’ is the only goal of birth. We believe a healthy baby and a healthy mum are bare minimum. Women should also feel respected, included in their care and empowered – equipped with the tools to advocate for themselves.
We teach classes in person within Victoria, Australia and via video conference for mums Australia-wide (even some internationally too!).
Childbirth education is unregulated in Australia, and this unfortunately means just about anyone can start teaching classes. You can be reassured that all our educators are Registered Midwives who regularly support labouring women in Melbourne hospitals. We also spend a lot of time finding the latest evidence, taking a women-centred approach to our class content.
Our birth classes are not based on our opinions. They are not based on what a hospital policy says. They are based on evidence and facts. This means that the information and guidance we provide you during pregnancy is applicable to any model of care that you choose – it’s flexible and unbiased, like all education should be.
All our classes come with a detailed resource book with images and guides.
