Understanding your birth preferences and planning ahead
Preparing to breastfeed or mixed feed

Partner roles and support strategies
Navigating hospital or home birth options

Who It’s For
This consult is ideal if you:
Are feeling unsure or anxious about birth or feeding

Feel like your questions haven’t been answered in standard antenatal classes
Are planning a VBAC, home birth, or caesarean and want tailored preparation
Why It Matters
When you’re well supported before baby comes, everything feels more manageable.
This isn’t just about “education” — it’s about helping you feel ready, seen, and supported. Because you deserve that kind of care.
Private Birth ~ Breastfeeding Education Sessions
If you’re wanting some education on what to expect, but not wanting to sit in on group birth classes this may be what you’re looking for!
These education sessions are relaxed, directed by your main areas of interest but cover all the vital formation that gives you the tools to make informed decisions throughout your birth and feel confident entering your introduction to early parenthood and feeding your baby.
We can cover whichever feeding method you want to learn about!
You’ll learn how breastfeeding works, what’s normal in the early days, and how to feel prepared — not pressured. Perfect for expectant parents looking for a calm, non-judgemental space to learn, plan, and ask anything.
Group discounts available if you want to bundle in with some buddies.
