About Birthing Instincts
At Birthing Instincts, we offer fun, interactive childbirth education classes designed to give you the knowledge and skills to approach birth and breastfeeding with confidence. Our classes provide a safe, supportive space where you can work toward your birth and feeding goals with expert guidance.
We believe in the power of teamwork—having a strong support system can make all the difference in creating a positive experience. Having a baby isn’t just a physical event; it’s a transformative journey for couples, and partners gain so much from being involved in our courses.
Navigating today’s maternity care system can be overwhelming, but we’re here to guide you. We understand how common it is to feel fear about bringing a baby into the world, especially since the emotional and mental aspects are often overlooked in healthcare.
No matter how you birth, or how you decide to feed your baby, we want you to feel comfortable asking questions throughout the process and to know that you were an active participant in the decision-making.
Our childbirth education program empowers you to birth and care for your baby with confidence and joy.
We are Fleur, Row and Erin.
As experienced midwives we understand the complexities of the current maternity care system.
From witnessing hundreds of birth’s we categorically know that there is nothing more powerful than the knowledge of how truly remarkable our bodies are.
Equally powerful is the ability to embrace all the incredible interconnecting systems that contribute to birth. We will empower you to birth without fear – working with your body’s innate abilities – not against them.
“There is a secret in our culture and it’s not that birth is painful but that women are strong,”
