      Having a baby is possibly one of the most profound things you will do in your life. The moment you fall pregnant you are a parent and how you bring your child into this world matters. The antenatal education we provide helps you discover what is important to you when giving birth, how to keep calm, remove anxiety, and have a birth partner who knows exactly how to support you as an individual. So that you can achieve the right birth on the day for you and your baby. Because “a positive birth experience is a state of mind, it isn't defined by what happens during labour and birth but how you feel about your baby's birth."I’m Nicki, founder and CEO of Bold Birthing. Since starting up in 2019, shortly after the incredible birth of our first child, we have now supported over 150 people internationally.• 100% of our families say they recommend this education.• 100% said they were satisfied and very satisfied with the education.• 100% said they were more confident, much happier and calmer after the course.Alongside working directly with families, this education is now available as a maternity benefit to all businesses. If you are interested to hear more do get in touch. We have a 'Corporate Services Benefits Brochure' which may be of great interest to you - especially if you are a business who prides themselves on being an employer of choice who are supportive of families.
