Two powerful masterclasses with internationally respected GP and researcher Dr Sarah Buckley, offering an accessible way to learn from her deep work on the hormonal physiology of birth.

Sarah Buckley is renowned for making the complex science of birth physiology understandable, bringing together medicine, neuroscience, endocrinology and the lived experience of mothers and babies.

In these two masterclasses, she takes us deeply into oxytocin — the remarkable hormone at the heart of labour, birth, bonding and breastfeeding — and explores what happens when the natural hormonal processes of birth are influenced or interrupted by medical interventions.

You will discover:

• The extraordinary role of oxytocin in labour, birth and bonding
• What oxytocin is doing in the mother’s brain and body
• How the hormonal environment supports both mother and baby
• Why safety, privacy, connection and the birth environment matter
• The difference between endogenous oxytocin and synthetic oxytocin
• How induction, epidural analgesia and caesarean birth can influence hormonal physiology
• What happens for the baby when normal birth physiology is altered
• The importance of the hours immediately after birth
• How we can support oxytocin, bonding and connection when interventions are necessary

Sarah's teaching gives you a fascinating window into what is actually happening beneath the surface of birth — and why understanding this biology can change the way we think about pregnancy, labour, intervention, bonding and postpartum care.

Two masterclasses. One deeper understanding of birth.

These are Sarah Buckley’s in-depth masterclasses, normally shared through her international webinars and seminars. I am making these recordings available here at an accessible local price, so that women, mothers, midwives, doulas, birth workers, students and health professionals in our community can access this important teaching without the cost or logistics of attending an international seminar.

Come and understand the physiology behind birth — not just what happens, but why it matters.

For anyone who wants to understand birth more deeply, intelligently and physiologically.
