Looking for antenatal classes in Truro?
Here’s a truth for you: Cornwall is not the same as the rest of the UK, especially when it comes to birth.
Understanding what these differences are and using them within your own antenatal preparation has the power to transform your birth & baby experience.
While I was born ‘in the North’ and have travelled aplenty, Cornwall is my home & Truro has always been central to that.
Truro has always been central to that: it’s the place where I went to school, spent my teenage years (yes, in L2) and gave birth to both of my babies.
Not only that but my work as an antenatal teacher and doula regularly brings me ‘into town’ to support families on their birth and baby adventure.
The doula network connects me to pregnancy, birth and postpartum on an international level, but what I see, hear and support every day is often unique to Cornwall.
From our lifestyles and priorities, to our road network and maternity policies, everything about how we prepare for birth here is just different enough to affect your birth.
And that’s why I deliver my antenatal classes and courses in the way that I do.
Whether you choose a private or group course, there is nothing generalised or standardised about the antenatal classes I provide.
My local working knowledge and experience of family centred birth support, means that I can create totally tailored antenatal classes that are 100% relevant to your…

Antenatal classes in Truro: FAQ

Yes absolutely!
Not only am I a FEDANT registered and certified antenatal teacher, I am also a certified and practising birth and postnatal doula. This means I am able to bring a brilliant balance of theory and working practice in the birth and postnatal space in my antenatal classes.
Plus, I am an expert and experienced teacher: before this life, I taught GCSE and A-Level English for over 14 years. So I don’t just know my birth and baby stuff, I know how to deliver it in an engaging and effective way too.

My group antenatal course is based 10 minutes from the city centre at The Family Space in Threemilestone: I work here because it is the most perfect environment to deliver antenatal courses. It’s light, airy, comfortable and far more pleasant than a village hall! Plus there’s plenty of parking.
But I also teach privately here too: when you book a 1-2-1 course with me, I come to your home to deliver it, meaning you have total comfort and convenience at all times.
