Core Childbirth Class with Kate

A three-session, evidence-based childbirth course for you and your birth partner.

I created this course from more than 15 years of midwifery experience, my clinical knowledge and my own lived experience. My intention is simple: that every couple walks away feeling confident, capable and genuinely prepared, from the first contraction through to postpartum recovery.

Birth isn’t just a physical event. It’s a hormonal and nervous system event, deeply shaped by mindset, safety and support. And your partner’s role isn’t secondary; it’s fundamental. When partners are prepared, they become confident, active support: protecting the birth space, advocating when needed and staying a steady anchor throughout.

This course prepares you both.
