Private Prenatal Consultations

Private consultations are available for women/couples that:

• Would prefer one-on-one work with an educator

• Cannot commit to attending the set dates of course or workshop (e.g. shift workers)

• Have had a previous birth experience and want to refresh their skills

 

These sessions take place in your own home and may help to:

• Identify your options for care based on your values, preferences and goals

• Develop a birth plan

• Focus upon a particular aspect of labour and birth, e.g. the role of your partner/ support person; non-medical strategies for pain relief during labour; preparing for a VBAC; how to avoid an episiotomy; or preparation for an elective caesarean birth

• Debrief / discuss previous birth experiences

• Refresh previously gained skills and knowledge around birth

• Prepare sibling(s) for the arrival of a new baby

There are two options for private consultations:

1. Your birth, your way:

The topics and skills covered are tailored to the couples needs specifically (see above).
9 hours - 3 sessions of 3 hrs.
Cost: $ 400.00* per couple

2. Refresher:

Designed for couples that have had a previous birth and want to refresh their skills. This also suits those in preparation for VBAC, elective caesarean section or those aiming for a natural birth after a previous birth with intervention.
6 hours - 3 sessions of 2 hrs.
Cost: $ 300.00* per couple * Private health fund rebates may apply – please check with your fund.
