The first snuggle 🤍

There’s nothing quite like that moment - when your baby is finally in your arms, skin-to-skin, and the world feels like it pauses. That first interaction isn’t just heart-melting - it’s biology in action.

Oxytocin floods through both of you, creating that “bubble” of love, calm, and connection. Your baby starts to recognise your voice, your smell, your heartbeat. You start learning them - tiny gestures, their unique expressions, the way they breathe and settle.

It’s the start of a lifelong bond, a gentle introduction to your new world together. It’s emotional, beautiful, sometimes overwhelming - and completely normal.

These first snuggles matter. Every cuddle, every touch, every gaze is a conversation, a memory, a building block for trust, love, and connection.

Your journey starts here 🤍

Midwifery care, your way 🤍

At Birth & Beyond Education, our antenatal and postnatal appointments in clinic give you continuity, personalised support, and time to truly be heard.

Led by Lucy Carroll, Endorsed Midwife, these sessions are about you - your questions, your preferences, and your journey through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.

During antenatal appointments, she can support you with:
• Midwifery check-ups & pregnancy guidance
• Birth preferences & understanding your options
• VBAC support
• Birth class refreshers
• Antenatal feeding education & colostrum collecting
• Pregnancy reminders & emotional wellbeing check-ins

Postnatal appointments focus on:
• Feeding support (breast, bottle, or combination)
• Newborn care & parenting preparation
• Birth debriefs
• Ongoing emotional and physical support as you transition into parenthood

Her approach is always honest, realistic, and evidence-based - drawing on real clinical experience to help you feel informed, confident, and supported every step of the way.

Medicare rebates are available for eligible appointments.

Because this journey isn’t just about having a baby… it’s about how you feel along the way 🤍

Small, intimate groups are our thing 🤍

We keep our classes intentionally small so you can walk away feeling truly heard - with all your questions answered and zero judgement around the decisions you’ve made for your pregnancy, birth, and parenting journey.

Our goal? For you to feel informed, empowered, and deeply supported. We want you leaving our classes armed with knowledge, real understanding, and the confidence to step into birth and early parenthood feeling ready - not overwhelmed.

Just as importantly, we help you feel connected with your birth support person, so you can move forward as a team, grounded and prepared for what’s ahead.

And it doesn’t stop there… with midwifery appointments available in clinic, we’re here to support you beyond the classroom - throughout your pregnancy and into your postpartum era.

Highly experienced, practicing midwives. Honest, evidence-based education. Ongoing support when you need it most.

We’ve got you 🤍

Our Fourth Trimester Classes are held in a relaxed, small group setting in Manly - giving you the chance to learn, ask questions, and feel truly supported as you prepare for life with your baby.

Be kind to yourself 🤍

Postpartum: the days can feel long, the nights can feel even longer, and everything is new - your body, your baby, your identity as a parent. It’s a time of huge change, and it deserves gentleness.

Postpartum can also be an opportunity to slow down. To pause. To sit on the couch a little longer with your baby sleeping on your chest. To let the outside world wait while you find your rhythm together.

The truth is, this season is temporary. The hard moments will pass, and so will the tiny newborn days. So take a breath, lower the expectations, and be present where you can.

You are healing.
You are learning.
You are doing something incredible. 🤎

Hello, I’m Lucy - Endorsed Midwife and founder of Birth & Beyond Education.

I trained as a Midwife in London and have been living and working in Australia for the past 12 years. With 17 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of supporting thousands of families through pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.

Alongside Birth & Beyond, I currently work on the Birth Unit, caring for women and their babies during one of the most important moments of their lives. Witnessing birth most days of the week, reminds me just how important it is that women and their families feel informed, supported and safe.

Through Birth & Beyond Education, I offer:

• Birth preparation classes for all versions of birth
• Fully and partially Medicare-rebatable clinic appointments
• Continuity of care with a named midwife alongside your main healthcare provider
• Antenatal support including setting birth preferences and colostrum collecting
• Early parenting preparation
• Postnatal follow-ups in clinic or at home
• Baby weight checks, feeding support and emotional wellbeing care

My goal is simple - to provide midwifery support so you feel confident, heard and cared for throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.

While safety is always paramount, how you feel throughout your experience matters just as much. With me, you’ll receive care from someone who is genuine, compassionate, and truly present with you and I would love to support you on this wonderful journey.

Feel free to get in touch with any questions about what I offer - I would love to hear from you.

Lucy 🤎
