Thank you so much for inquiring more about my antenatal classes.

My philosophy of birth is that it is a “unique & intimate experience, which I am blessed to have the privilege & responsibility to conduct in a humanistic manner”. I believe that the pregnancy & birth journey of each & every baby & how they are welcomed into this world has lifelong consequences not only for the individual but also for their families & society as well. I have a passion for natural, physiological birth & believe that “Midwives Make A Difference” I have a compassionate & holistic approach to both pregnancy, birth & beyond.

“Birth should be an empowering, safe & supported experience for the mother and father/partner as well as a gentle and safe experience for the baby”.

My aim is to prepare you & your partner physically, psychologically & emotionally for the birth of your baby & beyond. Ideally, commencement of the course should be between 20 & 32 weeks, but can be later if you so choose.

The classes are held on Monday evenings, 3 hours each & will educate you so as to reduce any fear & anxieties that you may have beforehand. They cover the topics of breathing/relaxation/visualization, labour & birthing (Both natural-physiological birth as well as for caesarean section), potential medical Interventions, breastfeeding & care of your baby in the early weeks post birth.

The classes are small, interactive and specifically prepare you for a natural birth as well as for any potential interventions should they become medically indicated. They inform you of all your options & choices, applying “evidence based research” so that you can make informed decisions & choices about the birth of your baby.

”It is important that you are a part of the decision making process when it comes to the birth of your baby as the choices you make for this your first or current birth, have a direct impact not only the outcome of this birth but also on your future pregnancies and births in the years ahead”

These classes also give partners an opportunity to understand the whole process of pregnancy, birth and early parenting. It prepares them so that they will be able to understand your behavior & emotions during pregnancy, labour & birth, lessening their fears & anxieties as well.

“Most couples that have attended my classes say that their confidence levels were increased after attending the course & that it prepared them well for their birthing experience & that they highly recommend them to anybody that is going to have a baby”
