THE ALTERNATIVE MIDWIFE

BIRTH, BODY + BEYOND CLUB

Not your standard antenatal class. And that is rather the point.

Birth is a big deal. So is everything that happens to your body, mind and life afterwards. We think preparing for one without talking about the others is missing quite a lot.

Created by two experienced midwives, Gemma Clifford and Niki Finney, Birth, Body + Beyond Club brings together honest conversations, evidence-based knowledge, practical tools and a proper sense of community.

Three evenings. Three important conversations.

BIRTH

Understanding how birth works, the incredible physiology of your body, hormones, choices, interventions, birth environments and the role of your birth partner. Knowledge without fear. Preparation without a rigid script.

BODY

Pelvic health, pelvic floor function, perineal preparation, caesarean recovery, hormones and the physical realities of pregnancy and life after birth. The stuff every woman deserves to know.

BEYOND

Feeding, sleep, relationships, identity, emotional wellbeing and the enormous transition into motherhood. Making space for the woman as well as the baby.

The support does not stop when the sessions finish.

Your booking also includes two individual 90-minute postnatal appointments with Gemma and Niki, focusing on your birth experience and physical recovery.

We keep our groups intentionally small, with just six pregnant women and their birth partners.

Expect conversation, laughter, connection and absolutely no silly questions.
