I am so excited to share with you my knowledge and experience with a programme that has been developed over many years and contributed to hundreds of positive birth experiences.
What I can give you is the confidence to access your own intuition, to make choices and to feel fully prepared for the birth of your baby. You will learn in depth techniques, up-to-date information and have all your questions answered. We will tap into the wisdom that has been passed down through generations of women and their midwives, ideas that have not always been written down. I will help you to explore all possibilities and options, just come with an open heart and mind ready to learn and to get involved.
Birth partners will receive an array of ideas and practices to nurture and support you. Included is a session on “life after birth” with essential tips for the first few weeks with your newborn.
Don’t miss this opportunity to allow me to help you enjoy the fulfilling and joyful birth you deserve!

The course exceeded our expectations! We both feel very well equipped to go into birth in a positive way and feel excited about getting things started and going through the experience as a couple. We found the sessions inspirational and an opportunity to explore our emotions around becoming parents. The course has most definitely helped us transition through this period. We especially enjoyed the ‘birth treasure box’ and went home with lots of ideas that we will hopefully have a chance to put into practice. I don’t think we realized how much choice as a couple you have until we attended the classes.
Sally was fantastic, inspirational, fun, happy and extremely passionate and knowledgeable. A lovely lady to aspire to!!
I’ve loved every second. Sally teaches in a relaxed manner. It feels the start of a very exciting journey! Thank you
Neal and I want to say thank you for the workshop on Saturday. We found it very informative, but more than anything very calming. We both feel prepared for the big day now. Neal said it was great and was lovely to have it aimed and Mum's and Dad's, with the idea of team work, it really gave him ideas on how he can really be a part of the birth of our baby not just an on looker.
We can’t thank you enough for equipping us with the tools needed to go through this amazing experience. So good in fact we didn’t really recognise each stage until the end! The knowledge and acceptance you taught us enabled this experience and we will be forever grateful.
