About

The Bub & Bloom Birthing Program

The Bub & Bloom Program has been developed over the last 20 years. After teaching HypnoBirthing from 2005 and then Calmbirth until 2018, the Bub & Bloom Birthing Masterclass Program has taken wings of its own and provides you with a carefully crafted birth education programme.

Reduces Anxiety

Bub & Bloom classes help you to reduce fear, tension and anxiety about labour and birth. Couples develop a thorough understanding of labour and birth.

Reduces Pain & Labour Duration

Can significantly diminish your pain / pain perception during labour. Often decreases your need for painkillers. It can also reduce fatigue during labour and decrease length of labour.

Empowers Couples

Promotes bonding between couples and their baby. Empowers partners to play a more integral role in the birth of their baby. Prepares couples for unexpected circumstances that may develop during pregnancy, labour and birth.

Calm Birth
Calm Pregnancy

Your baby feels, hears and thinks before it is born and you are building its brain architecture and self esteem before it is even born.

Calm Pregnancy
Calm Support

Loving, strong and confident support will enhance your belief in yourself as you progress through labour and birth.   

Calm Baby
Calm Baby

A calm baby sleeps and settles well after birth. A calm pregnancy and birth paves the way for a healthy and emotionally secure child.

Couples and singles who take this journey with me will feel empowered, strong and confident.

It can be hard to know what to expect from all the stories we hear about birth.

By attending the Bub & Bloom Birthing Masterclass we can open your eyes to the wonders of birth.

Gentle focus and belief in yourself can not only make your baby’s birthday manageable but absolutely incredible.

You will be given a toolbox to assist you to manage fear, adrenaline, challenges and pain.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Lainey Smallwood-Pedley

Lainey has attended hundreds of births (too many to count!)

Lainey is the developer and facilitator of her highly acclaimed birthing Masterclass workshops and is referred to by many obstetricians around Melbourne, knowing she provides a calming, realistic and focused approach to birth.

Lainey has worked as a Clinical Midwife Specialist (CMS) at a birth centre run by midwives at a large tertiary hospital in Melbourne. Lainey works with women deemed high-risk and those wishing to achieve a natural birth (including water births) after an uncomplicated pregnancy.

Lainey developed the Bub & Bloom programme to provide birth education from her accumulated personal experience as a midwife and acupuncturist, researcher and readings from a myriad of authors that have shaped her classes into what they are today. Knowledge is ever expanding and a true wonder as we apply it to a woman’s fertility and her birthing body as nature intended it to do.

The Bub & Bloom birthing programme is insightful, and delightful and you will leave the workshop feeling confident, happy and most importantly, ‘fear free’.
