The experience of giving birth has long-term implications for women's health and wellbeing… A good birth is the best start to parenthood that both mum and baby could ask for. So why not make it an experience to remember - for the right reason?
Do you want to assist couples to have a birth that feels empowered, exciting and free from fear? An amazing birthing experience is built from four things - preparation, education, great support and relaxation tools. Hypnobirthing is a practice that is all about prepared and positive birth.
Hypnobirthing advocates empowering women and couples to have key information about options regarding birth so that they are able to make informed choices about what is best for them. Hypnobirthing Australia workshops provide you with a tool kit of proven skills and techniques for relaxation and fear release to take into labour... giving couples the confidence and support to have a calm birth - however it unfolds.
Why is Hypnobirthing important? Because it can…
Shorten labour time, in particular the first phase of labour
Significantly reduce the pain of labour through the use of relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques
Reduce anxiety and fear approaching and during birth
Empower you to know your options and rights regarding birth before labour begins
Lower the percentage of labour interventions
Increase the chances of natural, drug-free birth
Define an active supporting role for the birth partner
Babies tend to be more calm and alert
Enhance bonding for parents and baby
Lead to a quicker physical recovery for the mother
Lower rates of post natal depression

We teach the Positive Birth Program (Group and Private sessions), The Positive Caesarean Program (Private Sessions), Supportive Caregiver Workshops (Group sessions), Birth Refreshers (Private Sessions) and Hypnobubs online private follow up sessions.
I often get asked what the difference is between our program and other versions of Hypnobirthing or child birth education such as Calm Birth - click here for a link to a blog explaining the differences.
