About Us

At The Middee Society, we’re passionate about educating and empowering parents through pregnancy, labour, birth, and postpartum with evidence based childbirth education designed to prepare you for the realities of parenthood.

Recently awarded Parenting Service of the Year for our Birth Classes. The Middee Society has become one of Australia’s leading parenting education platforms, supporting thousands of families through honest, practical, and empowering education.

Founded by practising Clinical Midwife Specialist Monique Maitland, every class, resource, and conversation is grounded in real clinical experience, up to date knowledge, and a passion for practical, no fluff education that bridges the gap between hospital care and real life parenthood.

We are also proud to partner with Frances Perry House to help ensure their patients have access to high quality education beyond the hospital walls. Through this partnership, Frances Perry patients receive exclusive access to discounted Middee education offerings, allowing more families to feel prepared, empowered, and supported throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Because when it comes to parenthood, the more prepared you feel, the more empowered you’ll be.

Whether you’re attending our face to face birth class learning online through The Middee Method, or tuning into our podcast Middee, our mission is to ensure you feel informed, confident, and supported every step of the way.

We look forward to educating you soon.
