Courses

The ideal is that all the antenatal classes that are needed would be provided free on the NHS in relaxed, calm and intimate surroundings.  But  as more NHS trusts withdraw or cut the service there is a need for private antenatal sessions.

The aim is to provide the highest standard of antenatal education in the way that most suits you.  The courses are designed to be attended by women and their birth partners whether that be husband, partner or family members.

We are committed to providing personal and professional classes, in small groups and in comfortable environments.  Wherever possible classes are tailor made to clients. The information provided is up to date evidence based practice, enabling you to make informed decisions throughout your pregnancy, birth and parenthood.

Support 

We don’t just focus on the positive side of facilitating natural birth; we do accept that there is a time and a place for pain relief and that women need to have some knowledge of the possible medical interventions that can occur. However we will ensure that you are equipped with full knowledge of the optimal positions for a smoother labour and are fully confident in the breathing techniques that are known to support this. We promise that our detailed programme will leave you feeling stronger and more confident about your forthcoming labour experience and less overwhelmed.
