559 Chapel Road, opposite Botany Town Centre

You can start your antenatal classes anytime around 25 weeks pregnant.
What might antenatal classes look like?
Antenatal classes with Jen will enable you to walk away feeling empowered to make the best decisions for you and your baby, and to feel more confident and prepared for your birthing journey and the early days at home with your new little bubba.
Antenatal classes with Jen are non-judgmental, relaxed, engaging, and fun
There will be a light supper, and a selection of teas provided
At the completion of classes, there may be an opportunity to see a birthing room @ Botany Downs Birthing Unit
and see how we can work with a hospital room to create a relaxed birthing space.
This does depend on my schedule and availability.
One of the great benefits of antenatal class is the coffee group that can come from this.
I am passionate about the connections you can form from your coffee group. Some of my coffee group connections have become my lifelong friends.
Jen will set up at What's app group for your antenatal class &
assist in establishing your coffee group (and may join you for your first catch!)
Please note: Each course has a maximum of 14 couples, and I may need to change your course dates if your class does not reach a minimum of 5 couples at each course
