We’re here to support you with practical education as you prepare for birth, feeding, and life with a newborn.
Designed and led by highly experienced, practicing midwives, our classes offer a blend of clinical insight and honest, down-to-earth guidance all delivered in a warm, supportive environment.
We recognise the individuality of each journey and the natural unpredictability that can come with it. That’s why our approach is centred around open conversation, gentle preparation and helping you feel calm, confident and supported for birth and postnatal realities.
Our classes are held in Manly, St Leonards, and Balmain, making them easily accessible across Sydney. For a more personalised experience, private sessions can be organised directly with your educator and are held in the comfort of your own home.

About Birth & Beyond Education
Birth & Beyond Education was founded in 2019 to offer up-to-date, evidence based antenatal education ahead of time, outside the hospital system and into the community, where real preparation for birth and the fourth trimester begins.
Our small group of Midwives have worked together for over 10 years and collectively have over 30 years’ Midwifery experience. All clinical Midwives, either on the birth unit or postnatal ward, we’re passionate about empowering couples through both in-person workshops and virtual classes.
Childbirth, feeding and parenting is deeply personal, often unpredictable yet incredibly rewarding. That’s why our mission is to guide you with practical tools, grounded knowledge and unwavering support so you and your birth support feel confident, informed and ready for whatever your journey brings.
We’ve worked with hundreds of parents across NSW and beyond – and we’d be honoured to support your journey, too.


What Past Participants Say
Harriet BrazillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attended Lucy’s Positive Birth class a couple of weeks ago and highly recommend. It was very informative, Lucy had great knowledge of local birthing centres, and obviously a wealth of experience in birth. It was great for both me and my partner, and Lucy was a great speaker/presenter, it was very easy to listen to her talk. Really did make me look forward to birth with a positive outlook. Rachel HillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been to a few courses through my pregnancy and Birth & Beyond Education was amazing. The Fourth Trimester, Feeding and Caesarean class was exceptional, it was insightful, practical and genuinely a very judgement free space. My husband also really enjoyed it and found it targeted to ensure everyone was involved, from Mum, to Dad and baby. I’ve already recommended B&BE to friends all over Sydney. Christian FerryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I attended the Birth and Beyond positive birth class, and we wanted to express our sincere appreciation for the wonderful experience. We had heard great things about the class from many people, but it truly exceeded our expectations. Lucy, our instructor, was absolutely fantastic. Her warmth and friendliness were so welcoming, and it was clear she genuinely cared about every single person in the room. She took the time to answer all of our questions throughout the workshop with sincerity and everything was articulated so well, making the class easy to understand. We really valued the comfortable and intimate environment she created. It made us feel right at home. The passion Lucy has for this work shines through. We can't wait to share our birth story with her and are even hoping to see her at the hospital when our baby arrives! Thank you so much for an incredible experience. Taylor MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Lucy ! We attended the positive birth workshop and had a great full day of learning. Lovely group of people as well . Lucy was so patient and explained everything so well without it being overwhelming. You can see how passionate Lucy is and it really makes you feel more comfortable. So thank you so much for a wonderful day we got a lot out of this class. 🙌🏾🫶🏽 Fero FaragTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent Experience – Thank You, Lucy! We walked away from our session at Birth and Beyond feeling incredibly well-informed and confident. Lucy was so detailed and thorough in explaining the entire birth process. She answered all our questions with patience and clarity, making sure we understood every step. We’re so grateful for the knowledge and reassurance she gave us—highly recommend to any expecting parents! Bronte TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great workshops, very informative and Lucy is a wonderful presenter! Highly recommend Skye WexelmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lucy was absolutely amazing. She’s super engaging and made learning what seemed to be quite a dull topic fun. I am going into labour feeling a lot more prepared and excited. Partner loved it as well and feels a lot more comfortable. Would highly recommend! Krishma SoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a beautiful and welcoming environment. The positive birth workshop was absolutely lovely. Lucy is an amazing educator who was shared heaps of knowledge in a very factual and respectful way. Definitely a great workshop for first time parents! Josie LangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend this workshop! Very informative for both pregnant partner and especially support person. There’s the perfect mix of details and broad level information required and access to further information. Thank you so much! Louise PowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you want to show up as the ultimate birth partner, then Lucy’s course is an absolute must. Taking her class 8 weeks before our baby arrived completely changed how I approached the birth experience. It gave me the tools to support my partner with confidence, calm, and clarity from understanding our birth preferences to being able to communicate effectively with midwives without second-guessing or asking unnecessary questions. Because of Lucy’s guidance, I knew what was happening at every stage and could truly be present and helpful during labour, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too. If you're serious about being 100% there for your partner, this course isn’t just helpful, it's non-negotiable. I can’t recommend it enough. Kristin’s class is an absolute must for any new parent. The first five days of parenthood are a wild rollercoaster, but thanks to this class, we felt genuinely prepared. From understanding why our baby’s hands and feet were still a little blue (totally normal!), to knowing what to expect with breastfeeding, emotions, introducing formula, swaddling styles, and nappy changes , it covered everything. Yes, those early days are overwhelming, but having context and knowledge made it so much less anxiety-inducing. This class was a total game changer. I can’t recommend it enough!
