Birth & Beyond Education provides comprehensive birth, parenting, and feeding education, along with postnatal support, birth debriefs and home visits. Founded by highly experienced midwives, Lucy & Kristin, their mission is to empower expectant parents with honest, realistic, and evidence-based education. As practising hospital midwives, they understand firsthand the unpredictability of birth and the journey to parenthood, so they have designed their workshops to equip parents with the confidence, knowledge, and skills needed to make informed decisions and navigate birth, feeding, and early parenthood with clarity and assurance.

Classes are taught in small, intimate groups, creating a comfortable space for learning and discussion. Virtual education is available for those unable to attend in person to ensure all parents have access to quality support.

In-person workshops are held in Manly, offering a welcoming environment where parents can gain the knowledge and skills needed for a positive birth and parenting experience.

At Ma Wisdom, we believe intergenerational knowledge is powerful. There’s something deeply meaningful about the kind of wisdom passed down through families, the kind that comes from lived experience and a desire to help.

But while that kind of wisdom is timeless, the world of birth and parenting has changed and many new parents struggle with outdated advice, boundaries being crossed and risk offending grandparents by wanting to do things differently than in their day.

At Ma Wisdom, our tailored workshops are thoughtfully designed with a light-hearted approach to help embrace the exciting transition into grandparenting and to equip grandparents and chosen supporters with essential tools and insights.

By nurturing the innate and accumulated wisdom grandparents already hold, we’ll bring them up to date on what’s changed since they had babies, including newborn safety and the best ways to support new families in the early weeks postpartum. We’ll explore the importance of boundaries – how to set them before the baby arrives and how to navigate them with care and include opportunities to rebuild confidence through a practical skills refresher. We’ll also look at their own transition into grandescence and how this new stage of life can shape their experiences and perspectives.

Led by qualified trainers with over 25 years of combined experience supporting families, we hold TAE accreditation and are qualified, accredited birth and postpartum doulas, as well as certified childbirth and early parenting educators. We are also mothers, grandmothers, aunties, sisters and women with a deep desire to support intergenerational bonds.

Our workshops help grandparents gain valuable knowledge to navigate the vital role they play in a newly emerging family. The right support after having a baby makes all the difference, we’ll help them be just the kind of support you’re looking for.

Open to new and soon-to-be grandparents, great aunts/uncles and anyone else chosen to be a grandparent figure.
