The most valuable thing Cathy taught us was to trust our instinct. As new parents we were overwhelmed with information, which was sometimes conflicting. It turns out we knew all along what was best for us.

Holistic Baby antenatal classes — we found them so valuable. Cathy is a warm, knowledgeable and reassuring teacher who shares a wealth of practical information about birth, breastfeeding, and newborn care.

Cathy's vast knowledge and experience made the whole process feel clear, practical, and reassuring with any birth. We met a great group of people to have coffee groups with.

Highly recommend this class for anyone expecting. It was incredibly informative and helped my husband and me feel so much more prepared for what's ahead. Cathy was fantastic — she provided clear, practical advice and information not only for primary caregivers, but also for partners and support people.

Dinithi

We attended HolisticBaby antenatal classes before giving birth and took away incredible knowledge. As a first-time parent, I was worried about breastfeeding and the challenges that arise. I went back to Holistic Baby for a lactation consultation. Highly recommend Holistic Baby classes and consultations.

★★★★★

Ash

I felt like so much of the other antenatal class education we received focused on the birth. But this HolisticBaby class opened my eyes. I had no idea how I was going to support my wife in the days after we came home and what having a new baby in the house would be like. So helpful!

★★★★★

New Dad, Ben

After struggling with multiple bouts of mastitis, Cathy fixed our latch in one session. I went on to breastfeed for years — I'm eternally grateful.
