The ideal time to attend our antenatal classes is around 30 weeks pregnant, though anywhere between 26 and 34 weeks is perfectly suitable.

What our clients say...
My husband and I found this workshop invaluable.
Sarah and Pip were incredibly knowledgeable and the session provided only evidence based info. I found this really helpful in helping us to make our decisions about our future birth/ breastfeeding/early parenting.
Sarah did not push opinions on us, she gave us informed information in an engaging manner with great visual aids (that were not confronting).
Alexandra Davis
Our time at Sarah’s class was amazing!
I had read lots of books prior so I had a good understanding already, but still managed to learn so much.
It was all genuinely helpful information that we would need despite the type of birth we wanted to have.
It was also great for my husband to have a better awareness of what labour and childbirth/post these might be like and so this really helped to prepare his expectations.
We were still talking about it for days! Very grateful to Sarah and the team.
Sophia Lane
We loved our class with Sarah and Susie!
I picked up a brochure at my OB and also had a midwife friend in Brisbane recommend this class. Sign up was super easy. And I would recommend doing early as classes do fill up.
We felt good about solidifying our learning to date but also loads of new things that we need to consider and can implement.
We asked lots of questions and Sarah and Susie were so knowledgeable. I would highly recommend the class. Very practical and you also get access to the on-line course for follow-up material. Thanks Sarah and Susie.
