Our Difference

The feedback we hear most? Our passion and experience make all the difference. Our classes are led by midwives who currently work in labour wards, bringing real-world experience and the latest insights to every session. We believe birth preparation should leave you feeling in control, confident in your body’s incredible abilities, and empowered to make informed decisions about your journey.

Designed with modern, 21st-century parents in mind, our classes are free from outdated policies and stale content—no grainy birth videos from the 1980s here! Instead, we offer up-to-date, evidence-based education that gives you a holistic understanding of labour, interventions, birth, postpartum, feeding and parenting. You’ll walk away with a toolkit of strategies for managing labour and birth, because one-size-fits-all solutions simply don’t work.

We know that your support person plays a vital role, which is why we include them in the entire process, giving them the confidence to be there for you every step of the way. You’ll also get access to Founder Loz after the class, a WhatsApp group to connect with other parents (hello, Mother’s Group!), and a goodie bag packed with information and products to support you through this exciting journey.

What really sets us apart? Our classes are fun, interactive, and practical. They’re not just about preparing for birth—they’re about building connections, gaining confidence, and feeling truly supported. With One Mama Midwife, you’re not just attending a class; you’re joining a community that’s here for you every step of the way.

Welcome! I’m Loz—Endorsed Midwife, mum of four, and the Founder of One Mama Midwife. Believe it or not, I was once in your shoes—a first-time mum with no clue how to birth a baby or what to do once they arrived.

Ironically, I skipped birth education classes when I was pregnant with my first. Fast forward, I became a midwife, and now teaching these classes is my passion. My goal? To help families feel confident, informed, and in control as they prepare for their birth.

I wish I’d attended birth classes back then. I remember walking into my first birth absolutely terrified, with no idea what was happening to me or what my options were. And once my little boy arrived? Let’s just say there were plenty of tears and late-night moments wondering what I was doing wrong. I wish I’d had the knowledge to make that experience enjoyable instead of overwhelming.

That’s why One Mama Midwife exists—to give you the knowledge I wish I’d had. We’re here to help you feel confident, empowered, and ready to walk into your birth knowing how it all works, what your options are, and how to advocate for the experience you want.

What our clients say

  • Yianna

    “We loved every bit of it! We’d definitely recommend it to any expecting mums and dads out there. The content was evidence-based and refreshingly unbiased, which we really appreciated. You can tell Lauren genuinely loves what she does — she’s amazing at it. My husband really loved it too and found it very engaging and we both left feeling excited, prepared, and ready to welcome our little one.”

  • Anna

    “Attending the classes as a midwife myself, even I learnt a lot and I was super impressed with the content and Lauren’s simple yet thorough explanation of all things labour, birth and postpartum. My hubby has also come away as an expert and really enjoyed the day. Thanks Loz for making us feel prepared and excited for the journey ahead!”

  • Nadine

    ‘We did Lauren’s class in Sydney last weekend and couldn’t recommend it more. She presented all the information with such knowledge and an unbiased option presenting facts and making you feel knowledgeable throughout the birthing process. My husband even feels confident in what to do and how to respond, he said he is so glad he got to see a new perspective on things. I feel so confident going into but the and really looking forward to the process.’

  • Beck

    ‘My husband and I did Lauren’s class last week & we’re blown away by how prepared it made us feel for labour and having our baby! Me and my husband were tossing up whether to do the class however both walked out feeling so thankful we did!

    We both learnt a lot & it’s allowed us to have some in depth chats about birth & be educated on options and the process/what to actually expect!’

  • Claire

    ‘My husband and I did evening antenatal classes with Lauren and they were absolutely fantastic, we could not recommend one mama midwife enough. Lauren is a fantastic educator and answered all our questions with no judgement at all. Thank you so much for being there for us on our journey with our first bub!’
