Becoming a Birth & Parent Coach

“I’ve been meaning to reach out to say thank you for all your advice. We put so much of it into practice when we were in the hospital, especially when it came to questioning the doctors and midwife’s and taking control of final decisions. You gave us the confidence to do that”

This is real feedback from one of our educators antenatal clients! This is the sort of feedback you could be receiving regularly if you follow your passion for birth and supporting parents as they start or grow their families. Working as an antenatal educator you are making real change, one birth at a time. This positive influence has a ripple effect, on the family you have supported, and the community you are in.

It can feel really daunting making the leap to change your career or path you are on. We know how this feels, we did it! It’s why we guarantee to support you not just with learning but with running your business long after you graduate with us.

“Absolutely loving the Antenatal course, it’s brilliant - so much detail but delivered in such an engaging way - which really helps the content stick in your mind. Pace has been just right for me and feels really quite special to be part of the first cohort for the academy - and know there is so much more good stuff to come! It has been tricky at times to juggle the studying with little miss - but feel very accomplished so far that I have managed/am managing. Learning more and more about the birth world is facinating and its so exciting to think about where this will all lead!”

  • "I cannot recommend The Perinatal Academy more

    …The wide ranging modules and the detail put into each class were incredible. All the educators are so knowledgeable and passionate, they really helped to foster an excellent learning environment. One of the reasons I chose the course was to learn live with other people, and this turned out to be a really important part of my learning. My favourite parts of the course were the specialist modules such as birth rights and inclusivity. The module on building a business was so informative and the support you receive is wonderful”

    Ella - TPA Student

  • "So much in depth information...

    …delivered in a way thats easy to understand and digest. Had great discussions with the other students too, hearing their thoughts and experiences as well as speaking with Lisa (the educator) just further solidified my decision on becoming an Antenatal Educator and I truly feel like I am in the right place!”
