IMPORTANT NOTICE
With restrictions easing we are now offering our Weekend classes and Saturday classes face to face. We will continue to run our Thursday evening classes via zoom.
Transform Parenting has always provided our services and programs regardless of financial status, through our sponsorship fund that is contributed to by other generous participants and local businesses who have seen the value of what we do. Now more than ever, we are aware of the financial challenges some families are facing and want to once again highlight our commitment to supporting you through this precious time of preparing for your baby.
We have the following options;

- Use our discount code COVID, to receive $100 off your course fee – available for Janurary, February and March classes.
- Pay what you can afford, apply HERE by nominating the amount you can afford.
- Pay our sponsorship fund amount of $650, which enables us to subsidise other families who may not be able to afford these valuable services. You have this option when booking when booking
We have been committed to the Canberra community for the past 20 years, and have received incredible accolades for what we do from both our families and the medical health professionals we support. Please help us to keep going through this period and support all families during this special time of need.

More about the sponsorship program
Please consider supporting Transform Your Birth Canberra course to reach out to all women and their families by participating in this program and nominating a fee to suit your circumstances. As a result of the sponsorship fund, there are places available to those who really would like to do the course, but due to financial situations are unable to pay the full amount. These places are funded by other generous participants who have understood the immense value of this program and would like to support others to access it regardless of financial status. If you really would like to do the course, and would like to access some support from this fund, please contact us at [email protected] with your request.
When is the ideal time to attend Transform Your Birth?
We see couples in all stages of their pregnancies; however, we find it is most beneficial for couples to come in their second trimester or at the beginning of their third trimester (approx. 30 weeks). This will allow enough time before your due date to practice the relaxation activities assigned to you by your Transform Your Birth Educator and fit in a Transform Your Birth pre-natal catch-up group visit.
If you’re feeling particularly anxious about birth in your early pregnancy, please feel free to attend earlier. We also offer opportunities to revisit our classes prior to birth.
If there is a higher chance you might need to have a caesarean section, please contact us before enrolling and we can assess your needs and potentially offer you an alternative form of birth preparation specific to your circumstances.
