BORN Foundations - Antenatal Education classes

BORN Foundations

Private antenatal education designed around you. $399

Feel confident before your baby arrives.

Not everyone enjoys learning in a group setting — and antenatal education doesn’t need to be one-size-fits-all.

BORN Foundations offers personalised, one-on-one antenatal education tailored to your individual needs, questions and circumstances.

Your course includes two private three-hour sessions, giving us plenty of time to explore birth, newborn life and the transition into parenthood without rushing through the things that matter to you.

If you have friends who are pregnant alongside you and would like to learn together, small private groups can also be considered.

Preparing for more than birth

Preparing for birth is important — but preparing for life with your baby is just as essential.

BORN Foundations is designed to help you feel informed, confident and genuinely prepared for the transition into parenthood.

You’ll receive practical, evidence-informed education in a relaxed, supportive environment, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and focus on the areas that matter most to you.

There is no pressure to follow one “right” way to give birth, feed, settle or parent.

Instead, you’ll be given the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to make informed choices that feel right for you and your family.

Knowledge builds confidence.

At BORN, I believe preparing for parenthood should be about more than getting through labour.

It's about understanding your baby, knowing what to expect, feeling confident asking questions and entering this new stage of your life with practical tools you can actually use.

Because preparing for parenthood is about more than birth — it's about building confidence for the life you're about to begin.
