Really enjoyed this workshop, and found it very informative. As a new parent to be, I think the 4th Trimester can be an area that we sometimes don't think about as much, so going over what to expect was extremely helpful. I like that the workshop also covered baby blues and postpartum depression, which is something I really wanted to be aware of and prepared for should that occur after having baby. There were definitely some new learnings that I took away from the evening. Highly recommend!

Renata is such a beautiful soul! Her down to earth approach and warm nature created an environment where no question was to silly. The class was engaging and interesting (unlike other antinatal classes we attended). The take away booklet is a great resource to look back on. Renata's passion and extensive knowledge shines through in the information provided.
Myself and my partner really enjoyed the 4th trimmester workshop and walked away feeling ready and excited for parenthood. I would highly recommend this class to first time parents.

Ren is such an amazing resource of support and education. We were recommended her workshop through friends and I would highly recommend her 4th trimester workshop to anyone else having a new baby.

Very happy to have attended Renatas 4th trimester workshop. Cookies and refreshments aside, the content of the workshop helped me feel much more prepared to look after not only my baby, but myself in the days and weeks following the birth.

Since meeting Renata at a baby expo in 2019 while attending with my friend, I've followed her businesses ever since and looked forward to hopefully attending this workshop one day. After finding out I was pregnant in 2023, I was very excited to finally book this workshop, and it didn't disappoint. We learnt so much, and will recommend this highly to all our friends. The format and delivery was brilliant and we both left feeling so glad we attended. The cookies Renata made were just delish, worth going just to eat her cookies. Recommend to everyone expecting!

Great workshop. We attended Ren's night about 16 months ago and still promote this to all our friends. Not bagging antenatal workshops but this 4th Trimester workshop really helped with what happens once baby is here, rather than the build up to the birth. This workshop taught us what to expect, what support there is, and how to actually feed a baby!!
A must do for anyone about to become a parent.
+ The cookies are the best.

Renata was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable and is a great teacher. The workshop was very intimate and relaxed which made discussions and questions flow really easily. I would and have recommended this workshop to all mums and dads to be! Thanks so much for putting on such a great workshop x

Can not recommend this session highly enough! Renata is so easy to listen to, approachable, engaging and funny! Very relatable and with so much valuable information for new parents like ourselves. We are so glad we came along.

This is a workshop every first time parent should definitely attend! Even if it’s not your first baby, I think everyone can learn something from this workshop. Super informative, well explained & helpful. My husband & I learnt so much. Ren is very welcoming, easy going & answered all our burning questions. Highly recommend!
Estelle W.
Amazing and worthwhile workshop!
So much insight into what to expect in the first few hours, days, weeks and months after pēpi is born.
Highly recommend to any hāpu māmā!

AMAZING!
Renata is such a beautiful, fun soul who made learning about the 4th trimester easy and kept us engaged. She also kept it real which I appreciated because that nitty gritty stuff is what I wanted to know!
I also felt like she had all relevant information being a midwife and I trusted all her tips and tricks as she’s not only a midwife but a mumma with experience!
Thanks so much, we can’t wait to come to your boutique and try your famous bars!
Alana
Thank you so much for creating this workshop! My husband and I found it so informative, it was delivered in such a good way that it was easy to follow, we felt comfortable to ask questions and we really enjoyed ourselves. It was awesome to have the beautiful moments covered but also the not so talked about moments bringing them to life and saying it’s ok to talk about them.
We cannot thank you enough and are already recommending this workshop to everyone!

I enjoyed the information and thankyou for sharing it along with your experiences. I also appreciated the 'no pressure' view on feeding. There was ALOT to take in. I think over two nights would have been better as I left with questions on lots of the sections but felt so rushed to ask them.
I would have also been good if you had some props to show us the different things i.e. with a baby doll, fake breast etc. A bit more interactive would be great and break up the information overload.
Thankyou for the delicious snacks as well.
Emma
This was a great evening to attended. Had so much information that was delivered in a warm and welcoming space. The booklet to take home is also very handy to refer back to.
Ren has created a well thought out course and also incorporates her own experiences and was very open to talking about our own concerns. I think I might have learnt more from this night over antenatal classes.
Thank you for creating the 4th trimester workshop!
Rachael D.
Thank you so much Renata for such an informative, open-minded and unbiased course on the fourth trimester. My husband and I really appreciated your realism and how you outlined so many different approaches to life with a newborn without bias or judgement. You created such a comfortable atmosphere where no question was stupid and covered both the beautiful wonderful goodness and the hard to talk about realities. I will definitely be recommending this course to other expectant parents!
Toni K.
My partner and I really enjoyed this workshop. We found it very insightful and loved hearing the personal stories to go along with the information. We didn’t end up attending Antenatal classes but found this workshop was enough for us. We feel better prepared for what’s to come after bubs is here.
Oh and Rens cookies are delicious!
Meisha K.
The 4th trimester workshop was great and so worth doing. Packed full of information about what to expect in the first few months after baby is born. My husband joined and got a lot out of it too, I think he came away in awe of what a woman's body can do but also an appreciation of what we have to go through postpartum. Thanks Renata!
Melissa W.
My husband and I recently attended this workshop and found it very beneficial. After completing antenatal classes at another location, we found we still lacked information on the 4th trimester. We loved Renata's workshop as she provided us with alot of clear tips and advice for us to use once our baby arrives. We found Renata down to earth, friendly and very knowledgeable, which created a warm welcoming environment for us to feel comfortable asking questions. Would highly recommend this workshop to all 'about 2 be' new parents!!
She also bakes delicious cookies too!
Thanks Renata

My partner and I attended this workshop and absolutely loved it. The session was honest, practical and informative - really inclusive too, and open minded. We got a lot more out of two hours with Renata than eight hours of antenatal classes, so we feel really lucky to have found out about this workshop. Renata explains things really clearly - great structure to the workshop, and she has a very personable and inclusive presentation style that makes it really easy to digest and remember lots of important info. Great sense of humour too. She also provides an excellent workbook with all of the information from her slides so you can take notes and have everything you learned available when pēpi arrives. Awesome snacks too. Thanks so much Renata, we are so appreciative.
Sara
My partner and I are so pleased we attended Renata’s workshop. We actually found the workshop more beneficial than attending antenatal classes! This is because we found the content super informative, and Renata also provided some really practical “hands-on” advice which I’ve found that no one else really gives (other than my LMC). The workbook is really handy and professionally presented, and we also really appreciated Renata’s “down-to-Earth” and relaxed, yet informative style of presenting.
Danielle D.
My husband and I really enjoyed the 4th trimester workshop. I surprisingly knew a lot of the information already, but it was really helpful to learn more and for my husband to learn about the challenges we would face. We loved Renata's honesty!
Holly G.
I'm so glad I went to the Fourth Trimester workshop. Renata is amazing and so natural at what she does! She covered so much about life with a newborn while keeping things fun and lighthearted. I'm a second time Mum and I wish I had done this before my first baby. Would definitely recommend!
Brittany B.
So glad I decided to do this workshop - it was packed full of information about the fourth trimester (that no-one really tells you about), and gave me some really valuable tips on what to look out for, and how to help myself get through a new and tricky time. Highly recommend - thanks Renata!
Stacey K.
Thoroughly enjoyed the night! Was very insightful and loved the format it was presented in. Would highly recommend to first and second time Mums. Worth the trip from Auckland!
Ange
Fantastic
I was told by a good friend that she had done the workshop and loved it. So went along and feel the exact same. Renata is so genuine and real about the 4th trimester. And really put me at ease and feel like I can ask for help when I need it because the 4th trimester is a big deal. Do it for yourselves mamas you deserve it x
Holly
So valuable!
I am so pleased that I attended the fourth trimester workshop. Renata packed so much information into the few hours, the majority of which hadn’t been included in my antenatal classes, that I now feel much more prepared for the next phase! The atmosphere was welcoming and supportive, and Renata was incredibly knowledgeable while happy to answer any additional questions. I would 100% recommend this workshop!
Samantha
4th Trimester Workshop
Would recommend this workshop to all first time mumma to be’s. I really enjoyed this workshop and learnt a lot. The content covered went into detail on the things people don’t tell you when you’re pregnant. Renata was so engaging and easy to listen to!! Feeling much more prepared for the 4th trimester!
Helen
The Best Workshop Ever for Mums!
I would recommend this workshop to new mums, or even 2nd, 3rd or 4th time mums.
As a Mum to one, I had the awesome opportunity to attend the Fourth Trimester workshop with Renata and I absolutely loved it! I really wish I would have attended it for my son.
The workshop was fantastic and very informative about everything from the birth, feeding, recovery and so much more.
The environment that Renata creates is very supportive and it was great to hear the other expecting ladies’ stories and advice. I felt so prepared for having my 2nd child and even used and remembered the things we had covered in the workshop. And the goodie bag is fantastic!
Julia
The real stuff!
The fourth trimester workshop is so worth it! As a first-time Mum-to-be - it was so refreshing to listen to Renata share a realistic take on what those first few months of the parenthood adventure can be like, rather than such a focus being solely on the labour/birth. The informal/intimate setting made engagement really easy and Renata’s genuine passion as well as her nursing/midwifery experience gave me a sense of real trust. I’ve taken away lots of tips and signs to look out for making me feel that much more ready to tackle Mum-life. Thanks so much for seeing the gap in the market for this - loved it!

Fourth trimester workshop
I was lucky to win tickets to the fourth trimester workshop and wow it was amazing. I felt like Renata covers all the important topics and it feels like your just having a good yarn with a friend. She has a great energy and you can tell she is also speaking from heaps of experience. I already have 1 child and I would still definatly reccommend this to people if it’s your 3rd or 4th! Heaps of great information that I hadn’t heard before. I also enjoyed how Renata talked about some topics that aren’t usually covered in antinatal like bedsharing safely and post natal depression. Great night highly reccommend! Xx
