Who it's for
Chances are you'll see yourself here
You're starting from scratch
No antenatal experience at all, just a real passion for supporting parents. You don't need a clinical background to start here.
You already teach hypnobirthing
You've been wondering how to add antenatal teaching to what you offer, so parents can stay with you for the whole journey.
You're on maternity leave
You've realised you don't want to go back to the same old job. You want work that fits around your baby, not the other way around.
You've been quietly dreaming
Running your own business has been on your mind for a while now, and part of you has been waiting for a sign.
If any part of this felt like you, even a little, this is who the academy is for. There's no one right background for becoming a brilliant antenatal teacher, just a genuine passion for supporting parents.
What to expect
What's inside the academy
Nothing watered down, nothing left out. You'll leave knowing your stuff, knowing how to teach it, and knowing how to build a business around it.
01
Pregnancy and labour
The physiology of pregnancy and labour, taught with the clinical depth of ten years on the ward.
02
Birth choices and the birth room
Every option in front of parents, so you can explain each one with real confidence.
03
Newborn and postnatal care
Woven all the way through, so you can support families in the weeks after they're sent home.
04
Running your class
How to hold a room and make parents feel safe enough to ask the questions they're too scared to ask anywhere else.
05
The business side
HMRC, insurance, pricing and marketing, built in from day one rather than left until the end.
and after
Support once you qualify
You won't be left on your own once your certificate arrives. Support carries on after you qualify.
Why it matters who teaches you
Real clinical depth. Real confidence.
You won't just be learning facts. You'll be learning how to sit across from someone who is scared, excited and full of questions, and give them an answer they can trust.
- Clinical depth behind every lesson, not just theory from a textbook
- Answers you can give parents with real confidence
- A true picture of birth and the early weeks, from someone who has been there
Hello, I'm Emma
Midwife, mum of two and founder of By Midwife Emma
I've spent over ten years in the NHS supporting families through pregnancy, birth and those first few weeks at home. I've seen what parents worry about at 2am, what they wish someone had told them, and what makes a difference in the room.
By Midwife Emma started two years ago as a leap of faith, built slowly in the quiet hours after night shifts and in the evenings after bedtime. It has grown into something I love, and this academy is how that support can reach far more families than I ever could alone.
I'm building it around night shifts and nursery runs, so I know exactly what it's like to learn around a full life. If even one person goes on to become a brilliant antenatal teacher because of this academy, it will all have been worth it.
