Our next course is due to take place September 2024.

Here's some feedback from LGBTQ+ families who have benefited from my courses:

“A joy to go to these sessions! Me and my partner came away every session feeling relaxed and like we were more knowledgeable about the process of birth and with breathing and grounding techniques we could rely on when we needed. Lilli covered everything I think we needed to know, from the importance of consent in your midwifery care (not being coerced into things you don't want), to breathing and grounding techniques, to the various stages of birth and what to expect and how to optimise the conditions for birth (how to get your oxytocin flowing!). We are so grateful for these sessions and everything we learned from them and so thankful as queer pregnant person to have had the support of someone who used truly inclusive language about pregnancy and birth.” – Katie (they/them)

“Lilli brought such a calming and supportive energy to each week’s meeting. I enjoyed that the material covered such a wide range of scenarios and possibilities for different birthing experiences. I loved the balance of information sharing vs. interactive exercises and the overall flow of the sessions was well thought out. They made us feel comfortable to share and ask questions and had quality resources to send us when we had follow up questions.” – Leah (they/her) and Jess (they/them)
