BIRTH CIRCLE
A one day workshop, that leaves you feeling confident for birth and parenthood
It’s your first pregnancy — and you’re drowning in Google searches, unsolicited advice, and your partner hasn’t even picked up a book.
You want a natural, positive birth — but the fear, opinions, and noise are overwhelming.
At Birth Circle, we weave ancient wisdom with modern science, giving you both the knowledge, tools, and confidence to approach labour with calm and excitement.
A one day workshop helping you feel prepared and excited for birth and early parenthood.
Get in touch if groups aren’t your thing, the dates don’t match, or you are after a refresher!

Birth Circle Facilitator
I am Abby.
I am a mother of two delightful children, daughter Bobbie, and son Felix.
I am a midwife’s daughter and grew up going to home births and innately trusting women’s capacity to birth their babies.
This is what drew me to midwifery.
I have worked in many models of care between The Royal Hospital for Women at Randwick and Northern Beaches Hospital. I am currently working in MAPS offering continuity if midwifery care for the antenatal and postnatal period but unfortunately not the birth at the moment, as I don’t want to frequently be away from my babies for long periods of time.
I love being able to share all the juicy stuff that doesn’t fit in to a 30min appt or home visit… all that stuff that you didn’t know you needed to know from pregnancy to your baby’s brain development and nurturing a secure attachment with your baby.
I grew up dancing, worked in fashion and hospo before becoming a midwife myself.
I smile too wide, laugh too loud and make inappropriate jokes. When I am really excited you might just see me busting out a leg mount.
It is coming up to almost 4 years of running Birth Circle after taking it over from my mum, and I couldn’t be more proud of the community we have built.
