Meet The Team
Our teachers come from all walks of life and a variety of professions. We all share a passion for supporting women (and birthing people) through pregnancy, birth and life as new mums! As such our teacher’s receive on-going support via our Teacher’s Community WhatsApp Group and we regularly meet up for additional training days and workshops, making sure everyone’s skills are continually at the top of their game.
