Our intention isn't to teach you one particular way to birth, but to give you the knowledge, confidence and practical tools to navigate your own experience, however it unfolds.
Because feeling prepared doesn't mean knowing exactly what will happen. It means understanding your options, trusting your ability to respond and knowing you have support beside you.

The Village Homebirth Prep Workshop
Preparing for your Homebirth
A practical & interactive homebirth preparation workshop
Planning to welcome your baby at home? Let's make sure you feel informed, confident and practically prepared.
There's something incredibly special about preparing to birth your baby in your own home. The familiarity of your surroundings, the freedom to create your own birth space and the opportunity to welcome your baby in an environment that feels completely yours.
But choosing to have a homebirth is just the beginning. Taking the time to really prepare for your homebirth can make such a difference to how confident, informed and supported you feel when labour begins.
Unlike birthing in a hospital, where the space and equipment are already prepared, a homebirth comes with its own practical considerations. What do you need to organise? How do you prepare your birth space? What will your midwife bring? When do you call them? And how can your birth partner feel confident supporting you throughout the experience?
That's exactly why we've created this workshop.
Join an experienced Homebirth Midwife and Birth Doula for a relaxed, practical and interactive evening dedicated entirely to preparing for birth at home.
Together, we'll explore everything from setting up your birth space and understanding your midwifery care to preparing your birth partner, creating your homebirth map and knowing what to expect once your baby arrives.
We'll also explore how to feel informed and supported if anything unexpected comes up along the way.
Because homebirth preparation is about so much more than having everything ready. It's about feeling ready, too.
Our hope is that you and your birth partner leave with a deeper understanding of what to expect, practical knowledge you can put into place at home, and the confidence that comes from feeling truly prepared and supported.
What You'll Learn
Preparing Your Home & Birth Space
Let's bring your homebirth plans to life!
✓ Discover what you'll need to buy, hire or organise before labour begins.
✓ Learn how to prepare your home and set up your birth space.
✓ Understand the practicalities of setting up and using a birth pool.
✓ Explore how to create a calm, comfortable and supportive birth environment.
✓ Feel confident knowing what needs to be ready before your baby decides it's time.
Understanding Your Homebirth Care
Knowing what to expect from your homebirth team can help you feel confident and supported throughout the experience.
✓ Understand the role of your homebirth midwife and the care they provide.
✓ Discover what equipment and medical supplies your midwife brings to your home.
✓ Learn when to call your midwife and what to expect when labour begins.
✓ Understand what midwifery care looks like throughout labour and birth.
✓ Explore what happens immediately after your baby arrives, including how long your midwife stays.
✓ Learn about the postnatal care and support available during the first five days after birth.
Creating Your Homebirth Map
Every homebirth is unique, and this is your opportunity to explore what matters most to you.
✓ Discover how to create a birth map that reflects your wishes and preferences.
✓ Explore the environment you'd like to create and how you want to feel during birth.
✓ Consider your preferences for comfort, movement and support throughout labour.
✓ Understand how to communicate your wishes with your midwife and birth team.
✓ Feel confident making informed decisions while remaining flexible as birth unfolds.
Preparing Your Birth Partner
Your birth partner has such an important role to play, and we want them to feel just as prepared as you do!
✓ Understand when and how to contact your midwife.
✓ Learn practical ways to support you throughout labour.
✓ Explore how your partner can help manage your birth space and equipment.
✓ Discover ways to offer reassurance, encouragement and comfort when labour becomes intense.
✓ Feel more confident working together as a team throughout your homebirth.
Feeling Informed & Prepared for the Unexpected
While preparing for the homebirth you're hoping for, it's also valuable to understand your options if circumstances change.
✓ Understand why homebirth eligibility or plans may sometimes change during pregnancy.
✓ Explore what a transfer to hospital might involve and how you would be supported.
✓ Learn how your midwife responds if additional medical care is needed.
✓ Feel informed and supported in navigating decisions if the unexpected arises.
What You'll Take Away
More than anything, we want you and your birth partner to leave feeling ready to welcome your baby at home.
You'll walk away with:
✓ A clear understanding of how to prepare your home and birth space.
✓ Confidence in knowing what to organise and what your midwife will provide.
✓ A deeper understanding of what to expect during and immediately after your homebirth.
✓ Practical knowledge to help your birth partner feel involved and prepared.
✓ The foundations of your own personalised homebirth map.
✓ Greater confidence in understanding your options and navigating your birth experience.
✓ The opportunity to connect with other couples preparing for homebirth.
Who Is This Workshop For?
This workshop is perfect for couples who are planning a homebirth and want to feel more informed, confident and practically prepared.
Whether you're preparing for your first homebirth or have welcomed a baby at home before, this workshop offers a wonderful opportunity to deepen your knowledge, ask questions and prepare together.

But choosing to have a homebirth is just the beginning. Taking the time to really prepare for your homebirth can make such a difference to how confident, informed and supported you feel when labour begins.
Unlike birthing in a hospital, where the space and equipment are already prepared, a homebirth comes with its own practical considerations. What do you need to organise? How do you prepare your birth space? What will your midwife bring? When do you call them? And how can your birth partner feel confident supporting you throughout the experience?
That's exactly why we've created this workshop.
Join an experienced Homebirth Midwife and Birth Doula for a relaxed, practical and interactive evening dedicated entirely to preparing for birth at home.
Together, we'll explore everything from setting up your birth space and understanding your midwifery care to preparing your birth partner, creating your homebirth map and knowing what to expect once your baby arrives.
We'll also explore how to feel informed and supported if anything unexpected comes up along the way.
Because homebirth preparation is about so much more than having everything ready. It's about feeling ready, too.
Our hope is that you and your birth partner leave with a deeper understanding of what to expect, practical knowledge you can put into place at home, and the confidence that comes from feeling truly prepared and supported.

Registered Yoga Teacher & Prenatal Yoga Specialist
For over 13 years, I've had the privilege of supporting women on the Central Coast through prenatal and postnatal yoga, gentle flow, yoga for seniors, and movement for those recovering from breast cancer. My approach is nurturing, holistic and trauma-informed, creating a space where every woman feels safe, supported and empowered.
I still remember attending prenatal yoga during my own pregnancies, it was the one evening each week that I knew I'd have a truly restful night's sleep. That experience inspired my passion for creating a space where women can slow down, breathe deeply, connect with other mums-to-be, and leave feeling calmer, more rested and more prepared for birth.

Held at The Village Collective, Ettalong Beach
If you’re craving connection, guidance, and a space where you can simply be - this is for you.
Our Village Mothers’ Group is a carefully curated 6-week series designed to support you through the early months of motherhood. Combining expert guidance with genuine connection, this is your opportunity to learn, share, and feel held within a supportive community.
What makes this group different:
Expert-led sessions
Each week, a trusted practitioner from The Village Collective joins us to share practical, evidence-based guidance on topics like baby massage, infant sleep, feeding, maternal wellbeing, and more.
Meaningful connection
Groups are intentionally kept small (maximum of 10 mums) to allow for real conversations and lasting connections. You’ll also be invited into a private WhatsApp group for ongoing support between sessions.
A relaxed, welcoming space
There’s no pressure here. Sessions include time for baby play, connection, and conversation—alongside tea, coffee, and nourishing snacks.
Holistic, mother-centred support
Facilitated by experienced professionals, this group supports not just your baby—but you. Because when mothers feel supported, everything changes.
At its heart, the Village Mothers’ Group is about recreating the kind of support we were never meant to do without—a village.
Because motherhood was never meant to be done alone.

No previous breathwork experience is required. You don't need to be “good” at meditation or know anything about breathwork - simply come as you are.
Mats, bolsters and pillows provided.

Led by Amanda Reynolds
Registered Yoga Teacher & Prenatal Yoga Specialist
For over 13 years, I've had the privilege of supporting women on the Central Coast through prenatal and postnatal yoga, gentle flow, yoga for seniors, and movement for those recovering from breast cancer. My approach is nurturing, holistic and trauma-informed, creating a space where every woman feels safe, supported and empowered.
I still remember attending prenatal yoga during my own pregnancies, it was the one evening each week that I knew I'd have a truly restful night's sleep. That experience inspired my passion for creating a space where women can slow down, breathe deeply, connect with other mums-to-be, and leave feeling calmer, more rested and more prepared for birth.
