Melbourne Antenatal and Caesarean Section Classes

One Mama Midwife Antenatal Classes in Melbourne are run exclusively by Midwives who practice in the birth unit and are dedicated to helping you feel confident and excited for your birth, postpartum and parenting journey. 



Our Melbourne venue is as unique as the city itself. From the outside, it may look like an art gallery, but step inside, and you’ll find the most beautiful and inspiring creative space. Uniquely located opposite the iconic Edinburgh Gardens, this venue offers a warm, inviting environment that’s just as practical as it is beautiful.

Meet the Melbourne Team

Lauren

Lauren has been a Midwife for 8 years and is passionate about supporting women and families through the journey of parenthood. Her own experience as a mother has fuelled her belief that knowledge is key to positive birth experiences and confident parenting.

After completing her training in London, Lauren has worked on Birth Suite and Postnatal wards, and in Australia at a Postnatal Residential Centre, in the Community with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander families, and as a Clinical Midwife/Lactation Consultant. Lauren is excited to bring her compassion and expertise to One Mama Midwife, empowering and supporting families every step of the way.

Tahlia

Tahlia is a Registered Midwife currently rotating between antenatal, birth suite and postnatal care. She enjoys the variety of her role and values the opportunity to maintain and grow her clinical midwifery skills across all areas.

With a special interest in perinatal mental health, she is passionate about support the emotional and physical wellbeing of all women as they transition into parenthood. She is currently completing additional training through Gidget House Australia to further develop her knowledge and advocacy in this important space.

Outside of midwifery, you’ll find her getting coffee with friends, Face Timing her two little nieces in Tasmania, walking her furry niece, or on the mat at Pilates. She's also found a new love for running and enjoys the challenge it brings.

A quote she lives by and reminds herself of often is: “I can do hard things.”
She shares this with the women in her care—because pregnancy, birth, and motherhood aren’t always easy, but you are strong, capable, and never alone.

What our Melbourne clients say

  • Megan

    “We attended the Melbourne launch class led by Simone; she was very thorough and informative throughout the entire session. During this session, we learnt a lot and Simone got us thinking about a lot of other things we had no idea we'll have to plan for the birth. Would recommend this to all new parents to be.”

  • Amanda

    “Excellent course! My husband and I learnt so much about birth and caring for a baby! It has made us feel very empowered and informed. The midwife running the course had a wealth a knowledge and could answer the questions really well. All expecting parents should do this course! I now have the knowledge I need to help me make decisions during and after birth. It was also very engaging through a range of differing activities eg kahoots, finding matching cards, practising swaddling, changing, breast feeding etc.”

  • April

    “It was a very informative course and love the handbook too that you can look back on! So good how the course covers everything in a day too from birth, breastfeeding and postpartum care too. Course is small so you feel really comfortable too to ask any questions.”

  • Kate

    “My husband and I found this course informative and empowering. This filled us with confidence and knowledge to experience a calm, positive birth. Highly Recommended.”
