About your Birth Preparation Workshop

I understand that every woman/couple has different needs and expectations. I completely personalise our 3.5-4 hours one-on-one Antenatal Class for you. The aim of our session is to give you a greater understanding of the birthing process itself and equip you with lots of coping strategies for a natural and positive birth experience.

Your partner (if you have one) is just as important as you during the birth preparation class. We will practice lots of things he/she can do to support you during birth. He/she will also receive a 1 page cheat sheet which will be really helpful during labour.

What clients say about these Birth Preparation sessions

The most amazing experience!

We had our baby girl last night and I honestly could not thank you enough for helping me with techniques for how to deal in labour. I breathed my way through my contractions and I couldn't have asked for a better labour. I honestly had the most amazing experience!'
- Natasha and Tyson, Toowoomba

The knowledge and skills that we needed

" Anna's course was so helpful in providing me and my husband  with the knowledge and skills that we needed to achieve the birth that we dreamed of. Any fears we had, faded away. I know hands down that I would not have been able to have a natural water birth with only gas as pain relief without the techniques that we learnt and practised with you. The breathing techniques especially helped me immensely and Kris having that knowledge meant that he could take over and count the breathing for me when the pain became too much and I couldn’t focus on the counting myself. I am feeling so unbelievably positive about my birth experience and n cloud 9 with my little man.

- Rebecca & Kris, Gold Coast

The best investment my partner and I made during pregnancy

'Anna's Birth Education Weekend was by far the best investment my partner and I made during pregnancy. At around 28 weeks the fear of labour was setting in and I am sure many women can relate.... The Antenatal Class with Anna herself, left me personally feeling so empowered to give birth and my partner with all the knowledge to help support me/us during labour. I am extremely grateful for the experience and believe this is something I would highly suggest for any couple no matter if this is your first birth or if you have previously given birth. Thank you Anna for being such a beautiful soul and facilitating such a wonderful education session.'
- Jessica & Thomas, Gold Coast

We both feel more comfortable and confident

"I just want to say thank you for your beautiful birth preparation class! We both feel more comfortable and confident for what is about to happen. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to even go to your class! Thank you so much x'.
- Kara & Alaine, Byron Bay

The birth went so well

'Dear Anna, we just wanted to say Thank You so much again for helping us have a positive birth experience. The birth went so well, and I was able to keep active throughout it. All your advice and guidance was incredibly helpful. Khai was amazing through it and used the techniques you showed him, using positive affirmations, massage and etc. Thankyou so much again 💕💕💕'
