The Good Birth

Welcome to The Good Birth. We provide honest and evidence-based antenatal education to support you to have an empowering birth in the hospital system. Learn the skills to be capable, confident and well-informed to birth and parent.

We offer group & private antenatal classes that cover the essential knowledge of how birth works, how to prepare for labour, many practical skills and coping strategies for pain management in labour, skills for your partner to be an effective support person, self-advocacy and decision-making tools and the best evidence to help support your decisions.

Our hospital birthing system and care providers have good intentions but don't always have time to provide all the necessary education, to explain our choices around birth, and their consequences. This can have profound impacts on our birthing journeys.

Our goal is to help both parents navigate the enormous amount of information and decision-making required in pregnancy and birth, to help you achieve and positive and empowering experience, regardless of outcomes.

We believe in quality and community, so we strive to provide great value with our services.

We are the service in Brisbane that offers the most with our classes including:

• Detailed take-home resource pack that includes a homework guide, partner supports, Brisbane-based resources & more.
• Free pass to a pregnancy yoga class at Mukti Yoga Centre. Run by experienced yoga instructor and doula Miriam, who will guide you through more advanced breathing techniques, ideal body positioning and movement for pregnancy.
• Ongoing support after the class until 6 weeks after birth.
• Great value with access to partner discount codes and referrals for services such as women's health physiotherapy, chiropractics, pilates, yoga, baby goods, hiring services, care products & more.
• Access to Private Health Fund rebates up to $400 at selected health funds if you have appropriate pregnancy health insurance coverage. These classes are eligible as Allie is an Endorsed Midwife and not typical of most birth classes in Australia!

Meet Midwife Allie

Allie has worked in the birth space for over 10 years and knows the absolute importance of quality education to be well-informed for a positive birth experience. She developed these classes as she saw first had the result of misinformation and disconnection in the pregnancy and birth space. Throughout her career, she has witnessed hundreds of incredible births but has also seen when birthing women and partners have felt defeated and thought... "if only I had known, I would have done it all differently".

We can't wait to work with you at The Good Birth to achieve a positive birth and parenting journey.

See you in a class!
