Confident decisions in pregnancy

Does this sound like you?

Knowing the facts doesn't always make the decisions easier.

You've read the articles, listened to advice and tried to understand your options. But when it comes to your own mental health, knowing what the evidence says doesn't always make it easy to decide what's right for you.

Perhaps you're worried about making the wrong choice, unsure who to trust or simply wishing you had someone to talk it through with.

You don't need more opinions. You need a way to make sense of your choices and the support to work through them. 

Perhaps some of these thoughts sound familiar…

One programme, three ways to take your journey further


Everyone's journey is different. Start with the knowledge and practical tools you need, then choose how much additional guidance, connection and coaching you would like along the way.

Your coach

I understand that becoming a mother brings questions, decisions and challenges you may not have expected.

I'm Dr Elsa du Toit. I've been a doctor for more than 26 years, and for over 16 years I've devoted my clinical practice to helping women navigate emotional and mental health difficulties during pregnancy and after birth.

As a mother of three, I also understand the many roles you're trying to balance – being a mother, a partner, a professional, and finding space for yourself in the middle of it all.

Through my work, I've seen how moving from uncertainty to clarity can change your experience of pregnancy and motherhood. It changes how you feel about yourself, the decisions you make, and the connection you build with your baby and family.

I created Confident Beginnings because you deserve expert guidance, understanding and support as you navigate motherhood! You do not need to figure this out alone. I'll share the same practical, evidence-informed approach I use in my clinical practice, guide you through your decisions, and bring you together with other women navigating many of the same questions and experiences. Together, we'll learn from one another, share perspectives and help you find a way forward that feels right for you.

THE COMPLETE EXPERIENCE

Confident Decisions: The Collective

A year of coaching, connection and confident choices.

You don't have to navigate pregnancy and early motherhood alone. Imagine having a place to bring your questions, work through difficult decisions, learn from other women and receive guidance along the way.

The Confident Decisions Collective brings together my clinical experience, practical coaching and the shared experiences of women navigating many of the same questions and challenges.

This is more than access to information. It's a year of learning, reflection, connection and personal growth, with support to help you make decisions that protect your mental health while keeping your baby's wellbeing in mind.

Your year in the Collective includes:

  • Confident Beginnings: The complete four-module programme, giving you the knowledge, tools and ARC Method roadmap to make informed decisions.

  • Ongoing live group coaching: Regular opportunities to work through questions, explore choices and apply the ARC Method with my guidance.

  • 30 hours of coaching across the year: Dedicated time for learning, discussion, reflection and practical decision-making.

  • A planned calendar of live sessions: A structured programme with breaks built in, giving you space to rest and put what you've learnt into practice.

  • Your private community: A members-only space to connect, share experiences, ask questions and support one another.

  • Priority access to advanced coaching: First opportunity to join future small-group coaching experiences as they become available.

A more personal coaching experience

Places in the Collective are deliberately limited. I want to keep the groups small enough to encourage meaningful participation, personal connection and an experience where I can remain actively involved in your journey.

You don't have to figure it all out alone. Let's find the right way forward for you.

Whether you're planning a pregnancy, expecting a baby or finding your feet in early motherhood, you deserve to feel informed, supported and confident in the decisions that affect your mental health.

I'll bring the clinical experience, practical tools and guidance. You'll bring your questions, experiences and what matters most to you. We'll work through the rest together.
