Bespoke birth education.
Sometimes what you need is more than what a group offers.
Education that is narrower, deeper, or scheduled around a life that doesn't fit a Sunday. Sometimes there's something specific you'd rather not raise in a room full of people. A previous birth. A decision that's already been made for you. A question you're not sure you're allowed to ask.
One to one, and entirely bespoke. We start from where you are. You set the agenda. I bring what's useful to it.

You might book this if
When timing gets in the way
The workshop dates don't work with your timing.
Your due date is close and there's no workshop before then.
You're not in Sydney.
When your situation is its own
You're having another baby and want a refresh.
You've given birth before and have specific questions about preparing for this one.
You're planning a caesarean, expecting twins, or something else a group workshop won't get to.
When you want it on your terms
You want more than one support person there, or the whole family preparing together.
You prefer the privacy of one to one.
You want to slow down on what interests you and move quickly past what doesn't.
How it works
Three hours per session. Most first-time parents book two, sometimes three. If you've done this before, one is often enough.
Held at The Gathering Space in Paddington, or online.
If nothing in the calendar suits, email me with a rough idea of when works. These are long sessions, so I hold most of my availability back and open times to suit. There is usually more than the calendar shows.
Medicare rebates don't apply to birth education. Rebates are for clinical midwifery consultations, which you can book separately if you'd like both. Some private health funds do offer a rebate for antenatal education, so it's worth asking your insurer.

Walking in prepared
Preparation isn't about controlling what happens. It's about walking in understanding your options, knowing what you want, and having someone in the room who can say it out loud with you.
