5-Week In-Person Antenatal Class $275
The 5-Week In-Person Antenatal Class is designed for parents who want steady, supportive preparation spread over time. Meeting weekly allows space to absorb information, reflect between sessions, ask questions as they arise, and gradually build confidence as your pregnancy progresses.
This format works beautifully if you value routine, connection, and the opportunity to grow alongside other parents who are at a similar stage. It offers practical, evidence-based education in a calm, welcoming environment — without feeling rushed or overwhelming.
Benefits of the 5-Week Class
Weekly sessions that allow time to process and build confidence gradually
Opportunities to ask questions as they come up week by week
Strong sense of connection with other parents due around the same time
Covers pregnancy, labour, birth and early parenting in a clear, practical way
Ideal if you prefer learning in smaller, manageable chunks
Supportive, relaxed environment with time for discussion and reassurance
Boutique Weekend Antenatal Class $275
The Boutique Weekend Antenatal Class is a focused, in-depth option for parents who prefer to complete their preparation over a single weekend. It offers comprehensive coverage of pregnancy, labour, birth and early parenting in a relaxed, partner-friendly format.
This option is ideal if you have limited availability during the week, are travelling from out of town, or simply prefer immersive learning. While the content is thorough, the pace is calm and supportive — with plenty of opportunity for discussion, questions and practical learning.

Ideal for busy schedules or those unable to commit to weekly sessions
