When should I do a class?

We recommend attending between 26-34 weeks so you have enough time to cover the post-class content, practice and prepare.

Does the fee cover attendance for both me and my partner?

Yes, the fee covers attendance for you and your chosen support person. No hidden costs! We believe in making quality education affordable.

Can I claim the cost on my private health fund?

Classes run my midwife Allie or another Endorsed Midwife in the team are eligible for private health rebates of up to $400, depending on your health fund, level of cover and extras.

Founder, Endorsed Midwife

Allie Hojnik

Allie created these classes from a deep passion for changing the culture of birth. After witnessing hundreds of births over more than 12 years, she strongly believes birth can be a positive, powerful and transformative experience when women feel informed, safe and genuinely supported. Unfortunately, our culture often surrounds birth with fear, trauma and misinformation, leaving many families feeling disconnected from their instincts and unsure of their options. She is also deeply passionate about the importance of a supported postpartum period, giving both parents and babies the best possible start together.
