Private Birth Preparation classes 〰️

Personalised, evidence-based education to help you approach birth with confidence, knowledge and calm.

In-home, telehealth or Kingscliff Clinic appointments available throughout Northern NSW and the Southern Gold Coast.

Feel confident, informed and prepared for birth

Every birth journey is unique. My private birth preparation classes provide personalised, evidence-based education in the comfort of your own home, in our Kingscliff clinic or via telehealth, helping you and your birth partner feel calm, informed and ready for the arrival of your baby. Medicare rebates are available.

Unlike group classes, private sessions are tailored to your individual needs, circumstances and birth preferences. Whether this is your first baby or you are preparing for a different birth experience, together we will explore practical skills, birth options and strategies to help you approach labour with confidence.
