Birth & Beyond Education, Sydney (2026)

09/04/2026

We’re here for you across Sydney 🤍

With 4 convenient locations in Manly, St Leonards, Balmain and Matraville, accessing supportive, evidence-based care has never been easier.

Our birth education classes run across all locations, with our Fourth Trimester & Feeding and Caesarean Birth classes held exclusively in Manly. We also offer midwifery appointments in St Leonards, giving you dedicated time for personalised antenatal and postnatal care, continuity, and support with a practising midwife.

Led by midwives who work in the hospital, everything we offer is grounded in real, current clinical experience. We don’t just teach - we help you truly understand what’s happening in your body through pregnancy, birth, feeding and early parenting, so you feel confident, informed and prepared.

Your birth partner is encouraged to be part of the journey too, so you both walk away feeling aligned, supported, and ready for what’s ahead.

Wherever you are in Sydney, we’re not far away 🤍

How lucky are we to call this work 🤍

Meeting expectant parents, hearing your stories, and understanding the journey it’s taken to get here… it never feels ordinary to us.

To be invited into such a vulnerable and transformative time in your lives - to support you, guide you, and hold space for you every step of the way - is something we never take for granted.

It is a true privilege to do this work.

Passionate, experienced midwives who not only care deeply, but genuinely know what they’re talking about - here to educate, support, and walk alongside you through it all.

We feel very lucky 🤍

Clinic days are here! 🤍

Our midwifery appointments are held on Fridays at North Shore Private Hospital, giving you dedicated time for antenatal and postnatal support, personalised care, and continuity with a midwife.

If Fridays don’t work for you, don’t worry - please reach out! We don’t want you to miss out on the chance to feel supported, informed, and confident every step of your pregnancy and beyond.

With Medicare rebates available, accessing midwifery continuity of care is now more achievable.

Telehealth also available for those time poor or based outside of Sydney.

Your special journey that we’d love to be part of 🤍

Practising midwives, supporting you 🤍

If you’re planning a hospital birth - join us!

That’s why it’s so important to learn from midwives who are actively practising. We bring up-to-date, real-world experience straight from the wards and clinics, so you get education that’s relevant, practical, and grounded in what actually happens during pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.

We bring it all together, speaking the same language so you feel informed - not overwhelmed or confused.

It’s not just theory or textbook information - it’s guidance you can trust, from people who know the system, work regularly with obstetricians, understand the options, and can help you navigate your choices with confidence.

Because your education should be current, realistic, and informed by experience 🤍

The first snuggle 🤍

There’s nothing quite like that moment - when your baby is finally in your arms, skin-to-skin, and the world feels like it pauses. That first interaction isn’t just heart-melting - it’s biology in action.

Oxytocin floods through both of you, creating that “bubble” of love, calm, and connection. Your baby starts to recognise your voice, your smell, your heartbeat. You start learning them - tiny gestures, their unique expressions, the way they breathe and settle.

It’s the start of a lifelong bond, a gentle introduction to your new world together. It’s emotional, beautiful, sometimes overwhelming - and completely normal.

These first snuggles matter. Every cuddle, every touch, every gaze is a conversation, a memory, a building block for trust, love, and connection.

Your journey starts here 🤍

Midwifery care, your way 🤍

At Birth & Beyond Education, our antenatal and postnatal appointments in clinic give you continuity, personalised support, and time to truly be heard.

Led by Lucy Carroll, Endorsed Midwife, these sessions are about you - your questions, your preferences, and your journey through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.

During antenatal appointments, she can support you with:
• Midwifery check-ups & pregnancy guidance
• Birth preferences & understanding your options
• VBAC support
• Birth class refreshers
• Antenatal feeding education & colostrum collecting
• Pregnancy reminders & emotional wellbeing check-ins

Postnatal appointments focus on:
• Feeding support (breast, bottle, or combination)
• Newborn care & parenting preparation
• Birth debriefs
• Ongoing emotional and physical support as you transition into parenthood

Her approach is always honest, realistic, and evidence-based - drawing on real clinical experience to help you feel informed, confident, and supported every step of the way.

Medicare rebates are available for eligible appointments.

Because this journey isn’t just about having a baby… it’s about how you feel along the way 🤍

25/03/2026

Small, intimate groups are our thing 🤍

We keep our classes intentionally small so you can walk away feeling truly heard - with all your questions answered and zero judgement around the decisions you’ve made for your pregnancy, birth, and parenting journey.

Our goal? For you to feel informed, empowered, and deeply supported. We want you leaving our classes armed with knowledge, real understanding, and the confidence to step into birth and early parenthood feeling ready - not overwhelmed.

Just as importantly, we help you feel connected with your birth support person, so you can move forward as a team, grounded and prepared for what’s ahead.

And it doesn’t stop there… with midwifery appointments available in clinic, we’re here to support you beyond the classroom - throughout your pregnancy and into your postpartum era.

Highly experienced, practicing midwives. Honest, evidence-based education. Ongoing support when you need it most.

We’ve got you 🤍

Our Fourth Trimester Classes are held in a relaxed, small group setting in Manly - giving you the chance to learn, ask questions, and feel truly supported as you prepare for life with your baby.

Be kind to yourself 🤍

Postpartum: the days can feel long, the nights can feel even longer, and everything is new - your body, your baby, your identity as a parent. It’s a time of huge change, and it deserves gentleness.

Postpartum can also be an opportunity to slow down. To pause. To sit on the couch a little longer with your baby sleeping on your chest. To let the outside world wait while you find your rhythm together.

The truth is, this season is temporary. The hard moments will pass, and so will the tiny newborn days. So take a breath, lower the expectations, and be present where you can.

You are healing.
You are learning.
You are doing something incredible. 🤎
