This plan will be aligned to your individual goals and feature evidence-based solutions that are tailored for you and your baby.

Online, home visit or clinic consultations available.

Follow-Up Lactation Consultations

After your initial lactation consultation, there is often a need for further follow-up as 'the plan' develops and changes. These follow up consultations help you and your family find your confidence with the many newfound skills in the postnatal period.  

Online, phone, home visit or clinic consultations available. 

60 -120 mins | $190 (Medicare rebate = $76.10)

Antenatal Planning

‘Before Birth’ Consultation

This ‘before birth’ consultation is appropriate at any stage in a pregnancy or even preconception. 

However, we generally recommended you book this consult from 30 weeks onward. Together, we work through your full history and gather an understanding of any previous challenges and potential future concerns. 

After a thorough assessment, we’ll make a forward plan to ensure you’re confident to face your individual feeding desires, once baby arrives.

This consultation also includes our signature Full Circle Antenatal Expressing Kit and all the necessary guidance to set you off to your best start breastfeeding (if you so wish). 

Online, home visit or clinic consultations available.

60 -120 mins |  $210  (Medicare rebate = $51.75)

= $158.25 out of pocket cost (anytime during your pregnancy)

Antenatal Group Classes

Essential Knowledge & Preparation

This nourishing workshop provides you with all the essential knowledge on: 

  • Newborn biological needs

  • Typical newborn behaviour

  • Getting breastfeeding off to the best start

  • Newborn sleep behaviours and healthy expectations

  • The importance of responsive care and tuning into your baby's unique communication and cues... 

  • And SO much more! 

We’ll support you in finding connection with yourself and each other through the journey of new parenthood, whilst also being realistic and honest about the unforeseeable potential challenges of this chapter of life.

This workshop will also arm you with the essential 'red flags' to know when things aren't quite going to plan and what to do about it. 

At Full Circle, we are so very passionate about creating a safe space for new families to tune into their own intuition and to recognise that they are their own baby's expert. However, we also acknowledge that this requires informed supportive knowledge with healthy expectations to find your own confidence - which is what we offer. 

This workshop is ideally attended by both parents-to-be, but individual bookings are also accepted.

2 hour class |  $250 for couples and $210 for individual booking  

*Private Health rebates available for those eligible. Please read about our referrals and rebates for more information.
