Information, courses, tips and resources to help you experience more of the joy, beauty and love, that is possible, while birthing your baby.
For a pregnant woman - confidence and support is everything!
BIRTH IS AMAZING – I promise!
But women/families do need good quality information and good support. It is my life passion to support, inform, educate and guide women to have positive birth experiences. The time and energy you invest in your education will reward you for your full lifetime and the next generations too!
A doula is a very special and very helpful part of any woman's birth journey. Others may be stressed out, freaked out or just too rushed or too worried, yet your birth Doula remains steadfast by your side, believing in you and sending you the vibe “you’ve got this”! A birth doula is there for you for the entire journey (pregnancy, birth and postpartum) – she brings birth education and information, she is emotionally supportive, reassuring and calm.

Birth and recovery is a HUGE thing. Your care provider may give some limited support and information, but it can often be a struggle to get great personal care and help as quickly as you need it. We know the right people to assist you. Ask for referrals, recommendations and ideas at anytime.
First, do everything you can to be educated about the natural physiology of birth and breastfeeding. Then make choices that enhance and fit well with your bodies’ natural hormones and systems and your babies natural instincts for feeding, sucking and sleeping. Personally, I am super glad I persisted with the tough stages of breastfeeding and I was even blessed to experience a four and a half year breastfeeding journey with my final child.
Birth and then advancing onwards to parenting a child is a HUGE thing. Your care provider may give some limited support and information, but it can often be a struggle to get great personal care and help as quickly as you need it. We know the right people to assist you. Ask for referrals, recommendations and ideas at anytime.

Easy Peasy, I use Eventbrite. Once you decide what dates and times suit you, simply click on the "Make a Booking" button at the top of this page and proceed to check out to see if there is a spot available.
For any client that misses a segment of their course I provide private access to special, video materials that cover missed topics. An online video can never be as awesome as face to face interaction learning though so clients do typically prioritise the course over all else.
This question is my favourite as it touches on my personal PASSION work. When I was a first time pregnant woman, I set aside the chance to do private birth education assuming it was too expensive or not necessary (after all, I was doing the course run by the hospital, right?!?).
Boy was I WRONG!!!
I later found out the content of such courses and I was instantly in LOVE! Now, I want ALL women and families to be able to afford this great gift and pleasure.

Natalies’ Birth Education course enabled me to have a calm pregnancy and an empowering birth experience. My husband and I both learnt a great deal about natural birthing and nurturing parenting methods.
Natalie taught my husband and I amazing life skills that we have applied with our parenting technique and our work.
The classes definitely helped me to cope…In my birth I chose some minor interventions and I felt in control and happy about my choices!
I would recommend The Hunter Birth Education Centre to any prospective parents who want to alleviate the worries of parenthood.
Natalie gave me birthing confidence and confidence as a mother. The relaxation skills I learnt – I still use today
