About

Hospital classes are often not enough for people to prepare themselves for birth and life beyond. Birthwaves Childbirth Education offers antenatal classes both for first time parents and those expecting a subsequent baby.

The groups are small and personal and the emphasis is on the steps you and your partner can take to help yourselves whatever your childbirth preferences and background.

Trained in the UK by the high profile National Childbirth Trust, I have been running private antenatal classes for nearly 15 years, the last 5 being in Melbourne (Brighton East). Couples are referred to me from a wide range of local hospitals either because their own classes are full or because women want to learn more about breathing and relaxation techniques, or what partners can do to help, for example.

Unlike the UK, attending private prenatal classes is not common in Victoria, but believe me it is worth it! Couples leave my classes considerably reassured. They feel much better informed and confident about their options, ready to welcome their beautiful new addition into their lives.
