Caesarean Calmbirth class review just in.

I am so grateful to this gorgeous couple who attended the group Caesarean Calmbirth class this month and took the time to share their experience.

“What we love most is how knowledgeable and calm you are, everything is explained clearly, and you create a really supportive environment that makes learning feel manageable and reassuring. We also appreciate the practical strategies you teach that we can actually use during pregnancy and birth. Overall, the program is fantastic, and it’s clear how much care and expertise you put into it.”

THANK YOU for trusting me to support you as you prepare for your baby’s birth. It’s such a privilege to walk alongside couples in this season.

If you’re preparing for a planned or possible caesarean and would love to feel calm, informed and confident, this class is created just you.

Pregnancy Support Group
A Postpartum Workshop with Ayla – Postnatal Doula, Remedial Massage Therapist & Caesarean Scar Release Specialist.

Calmbirth with Cherie is so excited to welcome Ayla back to share one of her beautiful and practical postpartum workshops.

If you’re currently pregnant, this morning is for you 🤍

We’ll be gently focusing on preparing for the weeks after birth, a time that deserves just as much care, thought and planning as birth itself. Ayla brings such grounded wisdom around healing, rest and true nourishment in early motherhood.

Together we’ll explore:
• Preparing for optimal healing after birth
• Creating space for real rest
• Nourishing, warming postpartum foods
• Building your support “village”

This will be a relaxed and welcoming space to connect with other expectant mothers, ask questions, and leave feeling clearer and more supported heading into postpartum.

📍 Stillwater Restaurant, Launceston
🗓 Saturday 2 May 2026
⏰ 10.30am–12pm
💲 $30 (includes a drink + light refreshments)

Please note: Photos will be taken on the day — just let us know if you’d prefer not to be included.

Limited places available. Bookings essential.

I can’t wait to see you there!

Why Do a Calmbirth Refresher Class?

You’ve done Calmbirth before…
So why come back?

Because no two births are the same.

Different baby.
Different pregnancy.
Different mindset.
Different life stage.

And this time, you’re preparing while already parenting.

A refresher isn’t about starting again — it’s about reconnecting.

Reconnecting with:

🤍 Your breathing tools
🤍 Your confidence
🤍 Your knowledge of how birth works
🤍 Your partner as your support team

Sometimes confidence fades.
Sometimes previous birth experiences need gentle processing.
Sometimes you simply want to feel calm and prepared again.

That’s what the refresher is for.

Structured time to pause.
To practise.
To ask questions.
To prepare - intentionally.

Calmbirth Refresher Class
June 2nd & 9th
5.30pm – 8.30pm

Perfect for past Calmbirth couples expecting again.

Limited spots available.

Planning a Caesarean birth? 🤍✨

Whether your Caesarean is planned or becomes the safest way to welcome your baby, feeling calm, informed and prepared can make all the difference.

I’ve created a “What to Pack for a Caesarean Birth” list to help you feel organised and ready, because when the practical things are sorted, you can focus on what really matters… meeting your baby.

This week, two amazing couples finished their Calmbirth Caesarean class, and it was such a privilege to support them as they thoughtfully planned their births. Seeing couples step into theatre feeling calm, prepared and confident is incredibly special.

The Calmbirth Caesarean class, run on request, supports you to:

• Understand what happens in theatre
• Use breathing, relaxation and visualisation for surgery and healing
• Reduce fear and build confidence
• Plan intentionally for bonding and postpartum recovery

A Caesarean birth can still be calm, connected and empowering with the right preparation.

What is something you found helpful that I missed?

If you’re planning a Caesarean and would love personalised support, message me. Classes are run on request .

Yesterday my Hydramama order arrived – perfect timing! 🙌

On the weekend my auntie popped in with a bag full of fresh passionfruit straight off her vine, so of course I had to try the Passionfruit + Orange with a scoop of fresh passionfruit on top… and oh my goodness – so yummy and extra hydrating! 💛

Hydramama is perfect for pregnancy and has been known to help women get through morning sickness. It’s also amazing for birth and during breastfeeding to help replenish electrolytes and support hydration when your body needs it most.

And it’s not just for pregnancy, I know lots of people who love it after sport too for a clean, effective electrolyte boost 🏃‍♀️

I currently have two flavours available:
✨ Passionfruit + Orange
✨ Blackcurrant

$40 per box (30 sachets).
I’m also happy to mix a box – 15 sachets of each flavour if you’d like both.

Such a beautiful Saturday morning with a small and intimate group of 5 gorgeous mums (+ 5 beautiful baby girls on the way 💕).

It was a really special space to connect, learn and share together.

Thank you to osteopath Lizzie from Body Focus for sharing so much wisdom along with practical demonstrations that the mums absolutely loved.

From one mum just 12 weeks pregnant to another due in only 3 weeks, it was lovely seeing everyone learning together, supporting each other and making new connections. Contact details have been shared and hopefully a few new friendships have begun, because that’s exactly what these groups are about.

Thank you to the beautiful mums who came along and made it such a warm and relaxed morning.

And of course I promised a recipe 😉

Bliss Balls
200g dates
200g almonds
30g goji berries
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla paste
1–2 pinches of salt

Blend together, roll into balls and refrigerate. So simple and so good.

Save the date – May 2nd
More details coming soon for our next gathering with postpartum doula Ayla.

Also thank you to Stillwater for hosting us in their beautiful private wine cellar.

Upcoming Calmbirth Classes

If you're preparing to welcome your baby and want to feel calm, informed and confident in your birth choices, our upcoming Calmbirth® classes are now open for bookings.

I teach you how to be prepared for all births. We don’t pretend birth will always be easy, but we do prepare you to work with whatever journey unfolds. Understanding your body, your options and your support team makes a real difference.

We have options to suit every journey:

Calmbirth® Course – our full antenatal education program designed to help you and your birth partner understand how birth works and how to work with your body.

Caesarean Calmbirth® – specifically designed for families planning a Caesarean birth, helping you feel informed, empowered and supported every step of the way.

Calmbirth® Refresher Class – perfect for families who have completed Calmbirth before and would like a reminder and confidence boost before welcoming another baby.

Birth is not something to fear, it’s something to prepare for.

Spots are limited to keep classes small and personal.
