Why Beautiful Beginnings Antenatal?
Quality up-to-date content
A Beautiful Beginnings antenatal course is relevant, based on best practice and actually excites you about what's ahead!
Not only will you learn evidence-based information during the course, but you'll also receive your own physical copy of the BBA 'Birth and Beyond Workbook', written by an experienced midwife and lovingly referred to as 'the bible' by graduates.
This workbook reinforces the knowledge you gain in each class and includes activities to help you organise your ideas and thoughts.
"We absolutely loved Bronwen's classes and learnt so much! We cannot recommend them enough. Bronwen was such a breath of fresh air, so kind and knowledgeable. A true gem. We learnt so much and feel so much more prepared for the next few months. Thank you so much for all of your invaluable help and guidance. We feel like we're on the right path now due to you. You will be missed!"

"My husband and I loved Bronwen's classes! We learnt so much and felt very empowered after every class. There is ample opportunities to ask ANY question you like. The best investment we have made. Such great classes, a great person and would 10/10 recommend these classes to everyone!"

"Thank you for giving us such a wonderful foundation of info and prep that we can do in anticipation for our first born! From being not sure what to expect when expecting, we looked forward to every session.
Bronwen & Beautiful Beginnings were one of the recommended antenatal class offerings out there in Christchurch by our LMC midwife - and on the other side of our 6 weeks of Monday night sessions, so glad for it.
Truly such a perfect balance of content / interaction / practical / meeting other households.
A real gem in the industry."

'"I cannot recommend Bronwyn’s Antenatal classes highly enough — truly the best investment we’ve made for our baby so far. The classes were informative, backed by experience and research and covered such a wide range of important topics. Bronwyn, you are an absolute gem and made our Monday nights something to look forward to. I’ll definitely be recommending your classes, whether in person or on Zoom, to my friends in the future!
My partner also really enjoyed the classes — after hearing from his friends who attended other antenatal classes in Christchurch, he wasn’t exactly looking forward to them initially... but thanks to Bronwyn’s engaging and supportive approach, he ended up loving it too. We both got so much out of these sessions and it has made this next chapter feel so much less daunting."

"Bronwen is a breath of fresh air and I would recommend her course to anyone pregnant in Christchurch. We just completed our 6 weeks with her and not only did she fill us with confidence and empowerment for our birth, she also facilitated creating blossoming friendships with the group.
Bronwen made sure to educate the group on up to date research and recommendations which meant that we felt comfortable to make decisions about our upcoming birth based on best practice.
Have been raving about it since we started and even more so now that we are finished."
Emily Steele
"As an expectant father I cannot recommend Bronwen’s course enough (and have done so to anyone was cares to listen to me!). Bronwen manages to mix her years of experience with a very well laid out and engaging course which is chocka block full of practical and useful information and methods to follow. She answered all of our questions with ease and if she didn’t have a complete answer she would always circled back to it during the next lesson. Her courses are usually always booked out and for a reason. Make sure you get in early is all I have to say!
I never bother to write reviews about anything but felt very motivated to write this one."
