Biography

I fell in love with the Calmbirth program over 15 years ago when I had the most amazing, calm and empowering birth experience with my first born. I truly believe that the Calmbirth techniques were the ‘magical ingredients’ to my positive birth.

The Calmbirth course also gave my (slightly nervous) husband the confidence, skills and tools he needed in his important role as my birth support partner.

After personally experiencing the benefits of the Calmbirth course, I knew I had to share this amazing course with other pregnant couples.

Hello! My name is Cass. I have had the privilege of teaching the Calmbirth course for eight years (formerly known as ‘Empower Calmbirth’). My favourite part of teaching this course is watching the transformation of couples going from a place of uncertainty or perhaps anxiety, to the belief in their OWN Birthing Power, increased confidence/knowledge and them looking forward to their labour and birth and meeting their precious little ones with pure excitement ♡

I offer Group Classes two Sundays monthly, as well as Refresher & Private Classes (upon request)

I look forward to sharing this amazing course with you, so that you can birth your baby calmly and confidently, regardless of how your baby is born.

Oliver's Calm and gentle birth...

Birth Stories

Here is how he gently entered the world… My waters broke at midday & I had meconium stained liquor. I was asked to call back an hour later then further advised to come into the hospital. We set up our room and got ready to meet our baby. We discussed with the midwife our preferences and they were incredible.

Welcome Earth side Calmbirth baby Addison

Birth Stories

Here is her incredibly inspiring birth story…written by her AMAZING Mama Kristen & supported by her wonderful Dad Michael I was terrified of birth before attending Cass’ Calmbirth class & I truly believe we would’ve had a much different (more stressful) experience if we hadn’t utilised all that we learnt. At 38+3 days I was diagnosed with Cholestasis & was told I needed to be induced that day. They did a cervical exam & I was already 2cm dilated.
