A huge warm welcome to my Birth Education Course!
You are about to enter one of the most incredible journeys life can offer, the birth of your sweet baby. An experience that cannot be described in words, nor can you prepare another for, it is simply something one must experience for themselves to understand the feelings that come with becoming a parent for the first time. I am SO excited for you.
To help your transition into parenthood, I have lovingly created video and written modules to provide you with thorough, educational and easy to follow birth preparation to give you the information you need to make informed decisions during your labour & birth. You will also find bonus PDF resources covering different topics and templates to do in your own time at your own pace.
