After a little hiatus online, but non-stop work behind the scenes, we are so so close to being ready to go!
The digital antenatal course covers everything that would be covered in the antenatal classes I would take in person, and more.
Videos of the content in self-paced modules plus downloadable worksheets, links to additional info from the professionals and the research, and just other cool things.
I was taking the local classes at no charge, which was due to generous funding over the years, but like everything great, it isn't infinite. I do believe that basic antenatal education should be free and available to all, but also need to be able to maintain the classes so there will be a small charge of $15 for the full course.
Speak soon with more info :)

Was a very bittersweet day last Saturday.
My last proper in person antenatal class for the foreseeable future. The combination of funding finishing and the time I could give getting smaller is why they have stopped. But only in this format! We have been super lucky with the generous funds over the years I've been teaching to keep classes free and really appreciate the support from the DHB, Parents Centre and most recently The Village.
Classes will resume in online do at your own pace modules and I will still do frequent in person workshops that will be just a couple of hours one morning rather than 2 weekends. I haven't been happy that I haven't been able to give 100% so want to step back so this way they can continue with my hectic life in the background.
New classes are not quite ready to launch yet, but bear with, they will be very soon! Will update details as soon as possible ☺️

This is something I am super excited and proud about!
And also something I'm proud that I did while pacing myself which if you know me and my hyperfixations, is very difficult!

I have been incorporating education about matrescence in antenatal classes since the start of the year when I started this incredible course with Matrescence NZ. And now very excited to start incorporating more and bringing in person matrescence support. Watch this space Whakatāne, I've got a cool wee drop in group going throughout September and will be posting details later during the week :)
