To complement our Positive Birth Workshops, we offer a Fourth Trimester & Feeding Workshop. We understand how important it is not only to prepare you for your birth experience, but it’s crucial to prepare you for your new life. Starting a family is exciting but can also be a time of worry and doubt. At Birth and Beyond Education, we are passionate about preparing you using evidence based information to help improve your confidence before you embark on this exciting new challenge.
Our Registered Midwife, Kristin will ease the transition from pregnancy to parenthood ensuring you have a good understanding of your choices, your baby’s needs and your emotional and mental health. Kristin currently works on the postnatal ward at The Mater Hospital.
