Compassionate, holistic antenatal classes celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community
Taught by registered midwives, and IBCLC lactation consultant
Having a baby is so often steeped in heteronormativity, that it can be a barrier to rainbow families accessing education about pregnancy, birth and parenting. Mainstream antenatal classes are often not an inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ parents. They often split the classes into groups: the 'mums' and the 'dads' . So for people who don't identify as mum or dad or perhaps have two mums in their family, what do they do? Which group do they go in? EMPWR's antenatal classes are designed differently; they are grounded in reproductive justice, bodily autonomy and self determination.
EMPWR classes are for any parent who wants to experience antenatal education in a new and innovative way.
