Congratulations
... on your pregnancy. With more than 17 years of experience, supporting 1000s of expectant parents I reject the one-size-fits-all approach to antenatal education. Instead, I embrace the unique path of every expecting parent.
​
Since 2007, I've created in-person and online antenatal courses and hypnobirthing programs which are a departure from the class-room style approach. Think laughter embraces learning, all anchored in sold science-backed evidence with informed decision making at the heart of my courses.
Ready to experience pregnancy and parenthood in a whole new light?
