Over the years I have come across some wonderful practitioners that support new parents.
If you require any support please feel free to contact these people directly.
Catch-up Groups
Transform Parenting – Birth & Parenting Catch-up Groups
We offer fortnightly birth catch-up groups, and weekly catch-up groups for new parents. Stay connected and come together as a community to discuss pregnancy, birth and parenting topics, have any questions answered, and make friends for life.
CPR/First Aid
Super Safety Mum – CPR & First Aid Classes
The Super Safety Mum Session is designed to provide you with a personalized training experience that will enhance your abilities in three critical areas of child safety: CPR, viral illness, and choking. Our aim is to give you the confidence and knowledge necessary to handle any potential emergency situations that may arise while caring for a child.

Podcasts
The Transform Your Birth Podcast will educate, entertain and support your ability to navigate pregnancy and prepare to give birth. We can’t control birth, but Tracey helps us to see how we can influence it and how it helps us to become parents.
Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcast.
