Build your knowledge and confidence as well as your physical wellbeing when you attend our specialised Yoga and Pilates classes throughout your pregnancy.
We are here to support your pregnancy/birthing experience and our classes focus on everything you need:
breathing – relaxation – positions for birth
strength – tone – flexibility
friends – support – education

When you breathe calmly and relax, your baby receives those calming hormones.
You’ll leave every class feeling light, relaxed and excited about your baby’s birth.

It’s a wonderful way for you and your partner to learn together, connect with one another and bond with your baby. Every class ends with a guided relaxation.
Membership includes two group sessions.

As soon as you’ve settled into your pregnancy you’ll want to start making decisions about where to give birth and who’s going to look after you. This can be overwhelming as there are so many wonderful options here on the Sunshine Coast. The decision you make will influence the type of birth you have. Do you want a natural water birth, an elective caesarean, a known midwife or a homebirth? Do you want a free service or to pay for your care? We understand that these are important decisions for you, and we’ve made the process easy by outlining each option clearly for you.
You will receive many differing opinions from friends and family, which at times can feel overwhelming. But keep in mind that your birth is YOUR birth, so you may want something different. Upon discovering your exciting news, bring your partner and come to our free session to hear about your options. Our highly trained educators offer all of the information you require, simply and completely, so that you can make these important decisions based on knowledge and commonsense.
Past clients have changed caregivers and place of birth as late as 39 weeks when they realised they were not feeling as comfortable as they had hoped. We strongly believe that it is never too late to learn about your choices. Ask questions, meet other couples, meet our birth experts and leave feeling confident and excited about your baby’s birth.
Our free sessions are held a few times each month. Bring your partner so you can make the best decisions for your family.
Sessions are free.
Join us to discuss the topics that affect you during pregnancy and leading up to birth:
You’ll meet other lovely couples during these sessions and learn how to make the right choices for you and your growing family.
Sessions held several times during each month.
