A range of online birth workshops have been designed for you to complete at your own pace. Packed full of experience and expertise, each one will provide you with a foundation of robust knowledge, practical skills, strategies and ideas.

Each workshop is clear and practical, based on evidence, experience and listening to parents. With resources to read at home, each digital course is interactive and personalised to you – you can also include a consultation with me to talk it through and ask any questions.

These digital workshops enable you to focus on specific issues – for comprehensive birth preparation, an antenatal course is a great option.

How it works…

• Buy your digital workshop.
• You will receive an email with the information to access your course and resources.
• If you have bought a workshop with a video session, this can be arranged around your schedule – I will email you to arrange a time.
• As you can go through your course in your own time, make yourself comfy and give yourself the time to begin to read the material.
• As you go through the information, it can be helpful to jot down information and questions.
• The resources include worksheets to personalise the information for you – print these out so you can think about what is going to be useful for you during labour and birth.

A few words about why I created these digital birth workshops…

I wanted to have a range of birth courses for expectant parents who want to focus on specific issues. These are thorough and practical options with really useful resources and work sheets to download so the course is personalised.
