What our clients say...
I felt 100% more confident after Sarah’s program
Living in rural NSW we found education options, especially for a caesarean birth, to be limited. I was very nervous about the caesarean, but I can honestly say I felt 100% more confident after Sarah’s program. Sarah’s advice for once baby is home really set us up well, we’re still quoting her handy little tips as we navigate each day with our bub. We highly recommend Sarah’s course for any expectant parents!
Jocelyn & Clint Berry
Loved the format of the online program
Joining the program reduced our worries and concerns about our upcoming birth and parenting journey.
We now feel reassured that we have the tools and knowledge to approach birth with confidence and are looking forward to meeting our baby.
We loved the format of the online program as it answered all our questions and we could pace the course to fit in with our life. The live Q&A with Sarah was one of our favourite parts of the program as it personalised the experience and gave us an added sense of security.

I can’t thank you enough!
Thank you Sarah for sharing your knowledge, expertise and advice with Dan and I.
The material you presented was easy to follow and presented to us in a way that wasn’t overwhelming but made us feel prepared for what’s to come during birth as well as after we come home as a family of three.
You helped ease my concerns and make me feel calm about childbirth which I personally find to be a really scary concept. For that I can’t thank you enough!
