What you can expect
10 hours of evidence based, one of a kind, totally individualised antenatal education, usually delivered over 4 sessions.

We work at a flexible pace, with each session tailored to your needs, questions, and what feels most important to you as a family

It's all grounded in real experience
Alongside my antenatal education work, I am also a practising doula, supporting families through birth at home and in hospital settings. Autonomy is always at the heart of my work, and I encourage independent thinking, alongside combining up-to-date evidence with intuition to support truly informed decision-making.
My role is never to tell anyone the “right” way to birth, but instead to share information, perspective gathered from witnessing a wide variety of birth experiences, and support as you make decisions that feel right for you.
My approach is to prepare you for the kind of birth the kind of birth you want, while also making space for the unexpected twists, turns, and forks in the road that birth can sometimes bring, helping you approach birth feeling informed, confident and ready.
How it works
I offer a no no-pressure initial consultation to make sure this feels like the right fit for your family, or you can just book outright if you want to get the ball rolling straight away.
Before the course starts, you tell me as much as you want to about your individual circumstances, what's important you, what's worrying you or your partner, and I prep a course that takes a deep dive into everything you and your partner need to feel confident, informed and ready for birth.
Sessions are delivered either in your home (if you are based in Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire) or online. Most families choose to divide the 10 hours across 4 sessions, though we can structure things differently if needed.
You’ll also have access to my members area of birth resources, alongside ongoing virtual support throughout the duration of the course.
Questions, reflections, and new topics are always welcome as they arise, allowing my support to evolve alongside you throughout pregnancy.

FAQ's
When should I book?
You can book at any stage of pregnancy. Some families choose early preparation, while others come later when specific decisions or questions arise.
Can my birth partner join?
Yes absolutely. This course is designed to be just as valuable to them as it is for you. And if you don't have a birth partner that's completely fine too.
Is this suitable for VBAC, Caesarean or induction birth?
Yes. As this is a private course, everything is tailored to your individual circumstances. I can bring additional information and resources where helpful, and we’ll also explore all modes of birth, as birth can sometimes take unexpected turns.
Do I need to know what I want before booking?
No not at all. This course can give you the dedicated space and time to learn about your options and explore how you feel about them, so you can make informed decisions.
What happens after I enquire?
After you enquire I set up a 30 min consultation so we can meet and see if this course is the right fit for you and your family. If you decide to go ahead you can pay your deposit to secure your booking and we'll schedule in the sessions.
Is a private antenatal course worth it?
Well, I'm biased but yes! Doing this course in a 1:1 setting means we can cover what you need specifically, and not waste any time covering things that aren't relevant to you. It also means you and your partner can discuss your feelings in private, which works better for some families.
