Classes with Pip
In 2023, Perth Hypnobirthing evolved into Perth Hypnobirthing & Co.
This means Pip is no longer running Hypnobirthing Australia™ classes. Instead, she’s created something even more comprehensive and tailored to what families really need.
- Birth Savvy Bub Savvy Workshops—Workshops that go beyond “just hypnobirthing,” giving you practical tools for birth, breastfeeding, newborn sleep, and early parenting.
- Parenting Workshops—Because birth is only the beginning of your incredible adventure.
- Ongoing Support—Personalised breastfeeding and newborn sleep consultations to help you feel confident and supported once your baby arrives.
Pip’s workshops bring together her 20+ years as a midwife, lactation consultant, and childbirth educator, so you and your partner walk away feeling prepared, connected, and ready to meet your baby.
Pip will also be offering breastfeeding and newborn sleep support
Birth and Parenting Education shouldn’t be a One-Size-Fits-All
Up-to-date, evidence-based tools for birth, breastfeeding, and parenting—tailored to you and your family.
Looking for birth and parenting classes that go beyond the standard hospital approach? My workshops are designed around the latest evidence and over 20 years of midwifery and lactation experience—so you get practical tools that actually work in the real world.
Maybe you’ve already been to antenatal classes in Perth but walked away still feeling like you’re missing something. Or perhaps this is your first time, and you want to be sure you’re getting information that’s both current and flexible, not a “one-size-fits-all” script.
Here, you’ll find classes that adapt to you, your baby, and your family—helping you prepare not just for birth, but for the whole journey into parenthood.
The Birth Savvy Bub Savvy Workshop
This isn’t your average antenatal class. Over two days, Pip combines 20+ years of midwifery, lactation, and parenting expertise to give you practical tools for birth and the early weeks with your baby—so you and your partner feel confident, connected, and supported.
Day 1 – Birth Savvy Birthing: Preparing for a Calm, Confident Birth
Learn how birth really works and discover practical ways to work with your body, not against it. You’ll explore how to manage pain with your body’s natural hormones, set up your birth space for comfort and flow, and use relaxation and movement for a smoother experience. Birth partners will learn exactly how to support and advocate effectively.
Together, you’ll practise hands-on techniques like:
-
Breathing and relaxation tools
-
Acupressure for pregnancy, labour and birth
-
Massage, effleurage & counter-pressure
-
Rebozo and positioning techniques
-
Simple strategies to stay calm and in control
?You can choose just Day 1 as a complete birth preparation workshop.
Day 2 – Bub Savvy: When Birth Takes a Detour + The First Weeks with Baby
Birth doesn’t always go to plan—so you’ll learn how to navigate inductions, caesareans, and interventions with clarity and confidence. Then, the focus shifts to those precious first weeks with your baby: breastfeeding, newborn sleep, and responsive parenting.
Highlights include:
-
Creating a positive induction or caesarean plan if needed
-
Protecting the golden hours after birth
-
Breastfeeding preparation and troubleshooting (positioning, latch, demand feeding, engorgement, partner support)
-
Understanding newborn sleep and creating rhythms that support rest and bonding
-
How your baby’s brain develops—and how responsive care builds long-term security
-
The science of your changing parental brain and why trusting your instincts matters
Life with a Newborn Workshop
Preparing Yourself to Trust Yourself
Parenting isn’t about following rigid rules—it’s about learning to trust your instincts. This workshop gives you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to do just that.
In just 3 ½ hours, you’ll discover how to:
-
Breastfeed with confidence—using the latest lactation science and practical tips for a smooth start.
-
Understand newborn sleep—what’s biologically normal, how it connects with feeding, and realistic strategies for getting more rest.
-
Navigate early parenting with coping tools, partner support strategies, and an understanding of your baby’s cues and needs.
What Makes This Workshop Different
Unlike hospital classes, this session is built on cutting-edge research and a holistic approach to parenting:
-
The latest breastfeeding science from Pip’s midwifery, IBCLC expertise, and postgraduate lactology studies.
-
Biologically normal practices that honour your baby’s innate reflexes.
-
An integrated look at breastfeeding, sleep, parental brain changes and responsive care—because they’re all connected
-
Insights into the first 1000 days of brain development and why your care shapes lifelong well-being.
-
Practical coping strategies for the real challenges of new parenthood.
This isn’t about getting it “perfect.” It’s about understanding your baby, trusting yourself, and finding joy in the early weeks.
Join the next Life with a Newborn Workshop and step into parenting feeling informed, supported, and confident.
Support after your baby is born.
Welcoming a new baby is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. Even the most prepared parents find themselves second-guessing, wondering if they’re “doing it right.” That’s completely normal, because babies don’t come with manuals.
That’s why I offer one-on-one consultations after birth. These sessions are designed to take the stress, confusion, and pressure out of those early weeks so you can focus on what matters most: bonding with your baby and finding joy in parenthood.
During a consultation, I’ll meet you exactly where you’re at—whether you’re struggling with feeding, feeling unsure about your baby’s sleep patterns, or simply needing reassurance that your baby’s behaviour is normal. Together, we’ll:
-
Work through breastfeeding challenges with practical, evidence-based support.
-
Make sense of newborn sleep (and how to gently shape rhythms that work for your family).
-
Understand your baby’s development and cues so you feel confident responding.
-
Explore ways to reduce stress and build confidence in your own parenting instincts.
With over 20 years as a midwife, lactation consultant, and baby sleep specialist, I bring not just knowledge, but also compassion and a deep respect for the unique journey each family takes. My role is to help you feel supported, capable, and connected—so you can truly enjoy these precious early months.
