Birth Master Class

The Birth Masterclass is back for two exciting days of real talk and valuable insights. Choose from one of two days, with one day specially dedicated to our VBAC mamas, giving you everything you need to prepare your mindset for this incredible journey!

This isn’t your typical childbirth class. Forget the hip squeezes and soft affirmations—I’m here to share the juicy, ‘OMG, I wish I knew’ information every woman deserves before stepping into the hospital.

You may be feeling that you want more from birth and this huge transition into Motherhood. You may be tiptoeing the ideas of being a little more selfish and putting your needs and desires first, wanting to do things a little differently this time round. You may have a knowing that there’s something deeper for you to gain through this experience as a woman, but maybe you’re not quite sure what it is or where to start.

This may feel totally foreign to you and the good girl deep within. I want you to remember that as women, we are conditioned from a very young age to be polite, hand over our autonomy and bodies to the experts, sit down and do as were told. This little rebel inside of you may be a new exploration and you’re needing someone to hold the fan and tend the flames.

If you want to take charge of your birth—whether you’re pregnant, trying to conceive, or simply looking to connect with empowering women who respect birth—this is the place for you! We’ll explore the current birth landscape in Australia, engage in super interactive, fun, and honest conversations, and uncover your desires as you transition into motherhood with confidence.

As this workshop is limited to a small group of 10, you will have intimate access to me and my Doula brain, time to pick apart my wisdom with on the spot guidance that is tailored to you and your situation. This is something only my 1:1 Doula clients receive.

Here’s a snippet of the two parts we’ll cover in the full day workshop.

What’s included:

Part 1:

• The birth landscape and your role in it
• Hospitals as a big business (let’s spill some tea)
• Navigating the maternity system without the stress
• Interventions, due dates, and making informed choices
• Insights on fetal monitoring to keep you in the know

Part 2:

• Guest speakers who’ve been through it all and have stories to share
• Finding your “why” with clarity
• Understanding how birth physiology works
• Trusting your intuition and embracing your inner strength
• Protecting your nervous system and setting boundaries

Plus, enjoy lunch, drinks, and plenty of open, honest conversations throughout the day!

I will also share with you my most loved resources, physical & mental tools you can draw on during labour, useful tips and tricks from a mother of three for the postpartum stage and much much more.

This workshop is all about YOU! This is your opportunity to ground yourself in a full day of staunch and supportive energy. A safe space to be held physically, mentally and emotionally while you start taking full responsibility for your choices and plan what FEELS right for you. Get ready to walk in empowered and ready to embrace your birth experience. I can’t wait to see you there!"

Why would you want to spend the day with me?
