  • "Sam & the team have been incredible throughout!

    …I’ve been able to train at the comfort of my own home while juggling a 2 year old and newborn, and have been totally supportive & accommodating throughout. I cannot thank you enough and I look forward to starting my journey in the birth world!”

  • "10/10 Would highly recommend the Perinatal Academy

    …for anyone looking to train as an antenatal educator & teach independently. The course is extensive and Sam, Lisa & the other educators are all excellent. I loved how they offer the course via Zoom in the evenings, so it's more accessible for those still working. And the flexibility of setting up independently after completing the diploma, while also have the support of the community of graduates and teachers really sets this course apart. Thanks again to everyone at the perinatal academy. Looking forward to doing further training with you!”

  • "Sam and the entire team at the Perinatal Academy...

    …were absolutely incredible. I can't even express how happy I am that I chose to train with them. The wealth of knowledge provided, the passion coming through in every module, the wide-ranging topics, ongoing support, and learning from leading specialists, all made it possible for me to finally do what I always wanted to do - start my own business as an Antenatal Educator”

  • "I cannot recommend The Perinatal Academy more...

    …the wide ranging modules and the detail put into each class were incredible. All the educators are so knowledgeable and passionate, they really helped to foster an excellent learning environment. One of the reasons I chose the course was to learn live with other people, and this turned out to be a really important part of my learning. My favourite parts of the course were the specialist modules such as birth rights and inclusivity. The module on building a business was so informative and the support you receive is wonderful. I'm so glad that I decided on Perinatal Academy”
