Anna & Bec, Calmbirth course March 2022
2/2: Prior to meeting Amy and participating in Calmbirth he (*partner) had felt more like a spectator, and was very afraid because he didn't know how he would cope seeing me in pain during labour. He now feels confident and excited to support me on our journey to meet our daughter.
Zoe & James, Calmbirth March course 2022
2/2: Going into my labour I know I’m going to feel so much more empowered and I really thank Amy and the Calmbirth course for that

My husband and I were extremely satisfied with the course and are ever so excited to have our baby.
We have been telling all of our family and friends about how much we have benefited from attending Calmbirth
Calmbirth Couple - May course 2022
The moment my partner and I walked into the class we looked at each other and knew we made the right decision coming Calmbirth. Amy created a safe inclusive environment from the way she spoke with such passion to the environment she had set up to make us feel comfortable.
Calmbirth Couple - May course 2022
We left after those 2 Calmbirth sessions feeling closer as a couple and empowered to support each other through labour no matter what is looked like.

Siobhan & Vimal - Calmbirth July Course 2022
We got so much out of attending the Calmbirth course with Amy. What an amazing educator she is. We were a bit sad when it was over to be honest as we found it a great way to connect with other couples expecting around the same time as us.
Calmbirth Couple - July course 2022
It was great to be part of the group discussions, which often raised questions I had not thought of, and Amy was able to provide informative answers. The location was perfect and we were able to sit and participate in ways that were comfortable for us - eg. on a fit ball, lying down.
Calmbirth Couple - July course 2022
Overall we were so grateful for the energy and enthusiasm Amy brought to the 2 day Calmbirth course. We would highly recommend the Calmbirth course and Amy to other pregnant couples.
Calmbirth Couple - July course 2022
Amy's passion for the content was evident in her enthusiasm during all stages of the course.

Calmbirth Couple - July course 2022
1/2: Amy was fabulous. We weren’t sure what to expect from this course (we worried it might be a bit wishy washy for us) but Amy’s approach was the absolute perfect balance for us between science and relaxation.
Tamara & Matthew - Calmbirth July Course 2022
2/2: My husband is spreading the word to everyone we know of how much he loved Amy’s Calmbirth course because he now feels he has clarity about his important role in the labour and this has made him so much more confident heading into this experience. We feel as equipped as we can be thanks to Amy
Tamara & Matthew - Calmbirth July Course 2022

Calmbirth Couple - July course 2022
2/2: The guidance for birth partners was extremely helpful and so very much needed. We were still able to complete practical strategies with Amy's guidance over zoom, she made it very comfortable for us, and we are feeling confident and ready to do this. Can't express our appreciation enough!
Calmbirth Couple - July course 2022
Amy's knowledge and passion for providing this education was obvious from the moment we walked in the door. My partner and I felt welcomed in the space and Amy facilitated an environment where we could ask questions and talk about our own life experiences. We are so excited to meet our baby!

Calmbirth Couple - August course 2022

Calmbirth Couple - September course 2022
3/3: We are now so well informed and equipped to overcome anything that comes our way during our birth experience and do so with an open mind. We could not imagine how anyone could birth without completing the Calmbirth course beforehand. Thank you so much Amy!
Calmbirth Couple - September course 2022

1/2: Our Calmbirth program with Amy was very worthwhile, we’d highly recommend to other couples.

Amy & Sean - Calmbirth October course - 2022
1/2: After completing the Calmbirth course a few weeks ago I have already recommended it to a couple of friends who are also now expecting. Having the information is so empowering and I’m hoping this mindset will carry through my labour journey.

Calmbirth Couple - October course 2022
2/4: Knowing what we know now and how we will be able to articulate our preferences and be confident in ourselves and our birth plan. All the resources are fantastic too, we have gained so much knowledge from you, and loved the evidence based, scientific approach to it all.
Calmbirth Couple - October course 2022
3/4: My partner got SOOO much out of it, initiating conversations about our birth plan, and pain relief. especially about his role, and I think he’s pretty excited about it all now as knows that he will be a pivotal person on the day! (which honestly, would never have happened before doing this).
Calmbirth Couple - October course 2022

Such a great course. My partner and I both found it extremely informative and feel very empowered and ready for childbirth. I have been highly recommending the classes to other people.
Naomi & Brad - Calmbirth October course 2022
1/2: I loved that Amy from the Calmbirth program was not encouraging any kind of agenda. She discussed all possibilities and not pushing her beliefs onto the group. This allows us to make informed decisions of what we want on our own. The pure reason of the course is to educate birth mothers and their partners.
Calmbirth Couple - October course 2022
2/2: Amy was so wonderful. I could not be happier to have chosen Calmbirth as my birth education for our first baby. Amy made it her top priority to explain each option we have available to it's fullest - without bias. This course has alleviated so much anxiety I was holding onto.
Calmbirth Couple - October course 2022
1/2: Presentation, engagement and communication was spot on. Amy was relatable and relevant and created a very comfortable and open environment space to share information and ask questions. Favourite part was her unbiased approach to it all allowing us to make our own informative decision.

2/4: We felt all areas were covered really well and would highly recommend the Calmbirth course to friends and family.

Calmbirth Couple - January course 2023

So grateful to have had the opportunity to attend.
Calmbirth Couple - January course 2023
1/3: Amy made us feel really welcomed and comfortable right from the start. Being someone that hasn't read all the books on birth to mentally manage what's to come, my partner and I came away with so much useful information and techniques to help really put our mind at ease.

1/2: Amy was incredible - as a healthcare worker who mainly is trained to manage the chaos and negative outcomes of birth, Amy was reassuring, calming and confident in both her teaching, and her understanding of how I felt. I would recommend her to any health care worker who knows too much!

Loved everything about the Calmbirth course, was really great to get a foundation of knowledge leading up to the birth of our first child. As the support partner, understanding the different pathways of birth and how to be an advocate for my partners wishes In those situations was really helpful
