A focused session designed to revisit key knowledge and principles, helping you feel prepared for your next birth —

A gentle return to knowledge, confidence, and calm —

The calmbirth® refresher class is designed for couples who have previously completed the full calmbirth® program and are preparing to welcome another baby.

Whether it’s been a short time or several years between births, this session offers a supportive space to revisit the principles, tools and techniques that you’ve previously learned, together with building confidence that underpins the calmbirth® approach.

Reconnect with what you already know —

Together, we revisit key calmbirth® practices, including relaxation, breathing, and mindset, allowing you to refresh your understanding and refine what feels most relevant to you for this pregnancy and preparing for labour and birth

Feel prepared for this birth —

Acknowledging that every pregnancy and birth is different, it’s natural for time or past experiences to shape how you feel approaching it again.

This calmbirth® refresher class is designed to help you move forward with a renewed sense of confidence and calm, with practical tools you can draw on, and the reassurance of feeling informed and supported, and trusting in your body that you are ready for the birth of your baby.

Course details and fees —

The cost of the calmbirth® refresher class is $350 per couple, with all course resources provided.

“We both felt that though nothing went how we'd hoped or planned, we were able to make informed choices and the arrival of our baby was overwhelmingly one that we feel at peace with — Thank you.”

  • "We welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world last Friday. I am just writing to say thank you for finding a space in the calmbirth® class. Debriefing with you about my previous birth and writing my birth preferences really helped me feel confident and ready. In particular, the confidence the calmbirth course gives to partners is so profound. I noticed a big shift in how empowered he felt as the birth partner, an active participant in his son’s birth. We actually initially heard about calmbirth® from another Dad who had participated in the course and that speaks volumes. Thanks again for giving me the confidence to articulate my birth preferences and to voice them aloud. For giving me the space that day to shed buckets of tears over my first birth and then to move on and look forward to this birth”.

  • “I found our class with you to be incredibly informative and helpful in preparing us for labour. When we left, my partners first words were "wow I needed that". We both learnt so much and he now knows so much about what his role is during labour and is feeling a lot more confident. This is exactly what I wanted to achieve from your session so thank you so much”.

  • “Thank you so much. I don’t really know how to describe the difference in the way I/we feel now. I would wake up every night over the last few weeks panicking about the birth of this babe. Last night I woke as usual but there was no signs of panic, dare I say maybe a small feeling of excitement for this birth and all the ways we know now to trust my body and how we can take control and make it the birth we want. This is massive for me! What you have done for us is really invaluable we can’t thank you enough”

  • “We wanted to thank you for how the calmbirth® workshop prepared us for our birth. The info you gave about what a caesarian might look like was life-changing on the day. I felt as prepared as I could be knowing how my birth support would look like on this day including when he would be there and when he wouldn't. We both felt that though nothing went how we'd hoped or planned, we were able to make informed choices and the arrival of our baby was overwhelmingly one that we feel at peace with. We've talked many a time about how we thought maybe the calmbirth® class wasn't for us because of the medical interventions we'd likely need, but we're both so relieved we went! So, thank you!”
