Where breath becomes the bridge between body and being.
An immersive one-day experience designed to prepare you — body, mind, and heart — for birth.
This is not just another antenatal class.
It is a journey of awareness, connection, and confidence.
About the Experience
The Connected Birth Class is an intimate, full-day antenatal experience designed by Lucy Carroll and Melinda Webb.
Lucy is an experienced midwife and antenatal educator, deeply grounded in evidence-based birth education and compassionate care.
Melinda is the founder of Beattie Street Health, a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, doula since 2008, and a health practitioner trained in the work of Dr Joe Dispenza.
Their collaboration began years ago during Melinda’s acupressure workshops for midwives — a shared moment with Lucy that sparked a friendship rooted in a mutual love of birth, family, and the transformative power of knowledge. Together, they weave decades of experience into a day that honours both the physiology and the inner experience of birth.
What You’ll Experience
This class offers a spacious, supportive environment to explore the physical, emotional, and energetic pathways of birth.
You’ll learn how preparation and awareness can replace fear with flow — allowing you to move through labour and birth with trust, clarity, and confidence.
Throughout the day, you will:
Understand the stages of labour and the natural physiology of birth
Explore the connection between breath, body, and mind to cultivate calm and confidence
Learn how to work with your care team and birth environment to feel safe, supported, and seen
Discover how mindset and presence influence your birth experience
Create a plan that honours your values, your body, and your baby
The Heart of the Work
Lucy guides you through the science and structure of birth — offering clear, practical, and evidence-based education drawn from years of midwifery practice.
Melinda joins Lucy to teach how breathwork, body-based awareness, and acupressure are vital tools for pregnancy, labour, birth, and beyond. Drawing on Chinese medicine, nervous system regulation, and her clinical experience, Melinda shares how breath and touch influence energy flow, emotional steadiness, and the body’s innate capacity to birth.
Together, they hold a grounded, calm, and deeply supportive space — blending the science of birth with the practice of being present.
What You’ll Take Away
You’ll leave feeling informed, connected, and deeply prepared — ready to meet your baby with familiarity rather than fear.
This experience is not only about birth itself, but about preparing for the profound transition into parenthood, with tools you can continue to use well beyond the birthing room.
You’ll gain:
Preparation for the final weeks of pregnancy — mentally and physically
Clear understanding of the signs of labour and when to call your hospital or care provider
A comprehensive overview of the birth process and all stages of labour
Practical relaxation techniques to support labour and decision-making
Insight into the role and importance of your birth support person
Education on all pain relief options — medical and non-medical
Understanding of induction of labour and when it may be recommended
Preparation for all birth scenarios, including instrumental birth and caesarean section
A detailed hospital bag checklist
Guidance on setting birth intentions and creating a supportive birth space
Tools to cultivate an open, calm, and positive mindset throughout birth
Join Us
Our one-day antenatal classes are held in person at Beattie Street Health Studio in Balmain — a space intentionally designed for calm, connection, and care.
If you are unsure whether you will birth vaginally or by caesarean section, this workshop is especially supportive.

If you choose — or need — a caesarean birth, you will be equally prepared, supported, and educated.

Monday Night Breathwork & Meditation Classes
With Melinda webb A weekly space where the body exhales, the mind softens into stillness, and something deeper within you begins to reorganise.
Mondays | 7:00 pm | 60 minutes
Beattie Street Health Studio (Level 1)
Join Melinda every Monday evening for a 60-minute breath work and meditation experience designed for those ready to create change — not by force, but through presence, breath, and conscious awareness.
No prior experience is needed. Simply arrive as you are.
What to Expect
Each session is held in a calm, grounded space that allows you to step out of the momentum of daily life and return to your inner world.
The breath becomes the doorway — guiding you beyond familiar stress patterns and into a state where the nervous system can settle, the body can restore, and your inner state can shift.
Melinda is a health practitioner trained with Dr Joe Dispenza and is currently in advanced training to become a NeuroChangeSolutions (Neuroscience Solutions) Trainer. She weaves the science of neuroplastic change with breathwork and meditation, creating a practice that supports both deep calm and real transformation.
This is not a class to push through.
It is a space to enter.
Who This Is For
This class is for you if you’re ready to:
Calm an overactive nervous system
Release stored tension and stress
Feel clearer, steadier, more present
Build emotional regulation and resilience
Create the internal conditions for lasting change
Commit to a weekly practice that truly supports you
If you’ve been feeling the call for something deeper — this is the room.
Why The Practice Matters
Release tension held deep within the body
Support deeper rest and restorative sleep
Cultivate clarity, presence, and emotional ease
Shift out of survival mode into restoration
Create a consistent rhythm that supports real change over time
This class is not to be missed — because weekly change is built through weekly practice.
The Practice is a weekly return — to your breath, your body, and the future you are quietly becoming.
If you’re ready to shift what you’ve been rehearsing, and begin living from something new, this is your place to begin.
