You deserve so much more than just a standard antenatal class!
At Beyond Midwives we believe preparing for birth and parenthood should feel personal, empowering and supportive, not something squeezed into a noisy space or delivered by someone you’ll never see again.
Our complete antenatal course is the most comprehensive and supportive way to prepare for your baby’s arrival, and it’s so much more than just a class!
Here’s what makes our antenatal workshops different –
- Midwife led – face to face learning in a beautiful purpose built and welcoming space, not a drafty pub or church hall. Practice, learn and ask questions in real time. Enjoy an unlimited selection of hot and cold drinks, and plenty of nourishing snacks while you learn!
- Run by a highly skilled team of two experienced midwife sisters, an IBCLC lactation consultant and a tongue tie expert. You’ll be welcomed into a warm, family-like environment where you are never just a number.

Each session is run by our qualified midwives who understand your care pathways, your options, and how to support your choices. Whether you choose a complete course, mini course or a single workshop, you’ll receive –
- Expert up-to-date, evidence based information from midwives with many years of experience in both high and low risk areas.
- A beautiful booklet to refer back to at home.

Workshop

Give Birth without Fear workshop
Hypnobirthing is very popular and can be very effective. We didn’t want to offer a service already widely available and not suited to everyone. We discovered an alternative to hypnobirthing. A method developed in Sweden aiming to become a globalised movement. The method is called ‘Give Birth Without Fear’. You can research the founder, Susanna Heli. Her book about giving birth without fear is a recommended read.
