The Lowdown on Antenatal Classes….
We often get asked the following questions about our prenatal classes, so thought it was easier to write them all down with the answers for you! Firstly, antenatal classes vs. prenatal classes – what is the difference? None! It depends where you are from as to what you call them, but both terms mean that […]
Meet Our Photographer! Theresa Oleson
When we were rebranding, we needed to have our new headshots taken – you can imagine the excitement (uh hum) about having our photos taken given that we all have young kids, and generally walk around looking half alive and rocking the bed head look. So we asked the fantastic (and quite frankly, miracle worker) […]

Our Midwife’s Birth Story – My Positive Birth Experience!
Read the birth experince of our Australian trained and registered nurse and midwife: “I was 41 weeks and 2 days pregnant and I had tried EVERY natural method of inducing labour without any success. I was very motivated to have a vaginal birth without any epidural and, luckily, my pregnancy was low risk.
