Lucy is a Registered Midwife from Bath, England, with over 15 years experience. She trained at the prestigious City University London and began her career at a large NHS hospital in East London, rotating through the birthing, obstetric, antenatal, and postnatal units.
She later moved into community midwifery, running a low-risk pregnancy clinic, providing postnatal care at home, and attending many home births.
Over the years, Lucy has supported thousands of families and is recognised for her compassion, expertise, and ability to help women feel safe, supported, and heard.

Midwifery in Australia & Birth Education
In 2014, Lucy moved to Australia and began working at the Mater Private Hospital, gaining experience across the birthing unit, postnatal ward, and education team. Today, she continues to support families as a Clinical Midwife in the Mater’s Birthing Unit and as an Endorsed Midwife, offering continuity of care appointments at North Shore Private Hospital.
In 2019, she founded Birth & Beyond Education after recognising the need for smaller, more personal classes than those offered in large hospital settings. Since then, Lucy has educated over 1000 couples through her intimate group and private workshops, helping families feel informed, supported, and confident as they prepare for every type of birth. As one of Mater Hospital’s chosen education providers, you may even see Lucy again when it’s time to welcome your baby.

Harriet BrazillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attended Lucy’s Positive Birth class a couple of weeks ago and highly recommend. It was very informative, Lucy had great knowledge of local birthing centres, and obviously a wealth of experience in birth. It was great for both me and my partner, and Lucy was a great speaker/presenter, it was very easy to listen to her talk. Really did make me look forward to birth with a positive outlook. Rachel HillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been to a few courses through my pregnancy and Birth & Beyond Education was amazing. The Fourth Trimester, Feeding and Caesarean class was exceptional, it was insightful, practical and genuinely a very judgement free space. My husband also really enjoyed it and found it targeted to ensure everyone was involved, from Mum, to Dad and baby. I’ve already recommended B&BE to friends all over Sydney. Christian FerryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I attended the Birth and Beyond positive birth class, and we wanted to express our sincere appreciation for the wonderful experience. We had heard great things about the class from many people, but it truly exceeded our expectations. Lucy, our instructor, was absolutely fantastic. Her warmth and friendliness were so welcoming, and it was clear she genuinely cared about every single person in the room. She took the time to answer all of our questions throughout the workshop with sincerity and everything was articulated so well, making the class easy to understand. We really valued the comfortable and intimate environment she created. It made us feel right at home. The passion Lucy has for this work shines through. We can't wait to share our birth story with her and are even hoping to see her at the hospital when our baby arrives! Thank you so much for an incredible experience. Taylor MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Lucy ! We attended the positive birth workshop and had a great full day of learning.

She’s super engaging and made learning what seemed to be quite a dull topic fun. I am going into labour feeling a lot more prepared and excited. Partner loved it as well and feels a lot more comfortable. Would highly recommend! Krishma SoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a beautiful and welcoming environment. The positive birth workshop was absolutely lovely. Lucy is an amazing educator who was shared heaps of knowledge in a very factual and respectful way. Definitely a great workshop for first time parents! Josie LangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend this workshop! Very informative for both pregnant partner and especially support person. There’s the perfect mix of details and broad level information required and access to further information. Thank you so much! Louise PowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you want to show up as the ultimate birth partner, then Lucy’s course is an absolute must. Taking her class 8 weeks before our baby arrived completely changed how I approached the birth experience. It gave me the tools to support my partner with confidence, calm, and clarity from understanding our birth preferences to being able to communicate effectively with midwives without second-guessing or asking unnecessary questions. Because of Lucy’s guidance, I knew what was happening at every stage and could truly be present and helpful during labour, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too. If you're serious about being 100% there for your partner, this course isn’t just helpful, it's non-negotiable. I can’t recommend it enough. Kristin’s class is an absolute must for any new parent. The first five days of parenthood are a wild rollercoaster, but thanks to this class, we felt genuinely prepared. From understanding why our baby’s hands and feet were still a little blue (totally normal!), to knowing what to expect with breastfeeding, emotions, introducing formula, swaddling styles, and nappy changes , it covered everything. Yes, those early days are overwhelming, but having context and knowledge made it so much less anxiety-inducing. This class was a total game changer. I can’t recommend it enough!
