Hypnobirthing Australia's Positive birth program

---

Whether you’re birthing at home or in a hospital, and whether your birth is with or

without interventions, our program is designed for you. 

It’s designed to support you to make informed decisions that are right for you and your baby, for whatever turns your birthing takes. 

There is no space here for judgment, hierarchies of birth modalities or a a onesize- fits-all approach- just informed decision making.

Whether you’re more evidence-driven, more intuitive and spiritual, or somewhere in between, you’ll feel supported here. 

The program honours your inner knowing and equips you with grounded, practical  tools. 

It blends the latest medical research with a deep understanding of the physiological birth process, along with mindset work backed by neuroscience.

Not only do we explore current evidence around your birth options, but we also dive into the science of the limbic system, neocortex, and autonomic nervous system to help you understand how to support your body’s innate ability to birth.

The guided meditations are practical and designed to rewire unhelpful associations, release fear, and calm the nervous system, creating the hormonal environment that best supports labour.

While hypnobirthing does include breathing techniques, it spans so much wider than that. 

It covers a range of tools to support your birth experience, from light touch massage to guided mediation, to acupressure to aromatherapy.

Plus, it is so much more than these techniques: It provides you with a wealth of knowledge and support to make informed, empowered decisions about your birth.

Hypnobirthing helps you focus inwards as you apply your relaxation techniques but you will not be “out of it”. Instead, you will be “in the zone” - aware but intentionally zoning out distractions.

You might be quieter as you are more introspective (and seem “out of it”) but hypnobirthing looks different for everyone and there’s nothing wrong with this focus looking different for you (eg through vocalising).

Hypnobirthing does not promise a pain-free birth, and it’s not about avoiding the intensity of labour. Instead, it gives you practical tools to move through and manage the intensity.

By learning to work with the sensations of labour rather than resisting them, you can approach birth with less fear and stress, more confidence, and a greater sense of agency. This often leads to a more positive, empowering, self-directed experience with a lower likelihood of unwanted or unnecessary interventions.

Don’t let anyone convince you that trying for this experience isn’t worthwhile—you absolutely deserve it, and it’s entirely possible.

I get it (truly). Investing in birth support can feel big, especially when you're already investing in prams, car seats, bassinets etc for the baby. And since this kind of support isn’t yet the norm, it’s normal to pause before saying yes. 

A few things to consider as you decide whether this stretch is possible:

• Tailored payment plans are always available.
• This kind of investment takes your family well beyond your birthing day. 

Prams and baby gear eventually get packed away. But the value of birth and postpartum support lasts- impacting your baby and your family for life. 

If this feels aligned but financially tight, please reach out + we can explore solutions together.

Our two-day format is designed with busy families in mind. In just 12 hours over two days, you’ll gain all the tools, strategies, and knowledge you need. It’s focused, practical, and intensive, helping you feel confident and prepared for birth without taking up weeks of your life.

Many parents find that dedicating this focused time not only reduces stress and saves time searching for reliable information, but also provides a special opportunity to reconnect and bond with each other and their baby, whether they are first-time parents or welcoming another child into the family.

I hear you. Avoiding preparation might feel like protecting your peace but it can leave you facing decisions you weren’t ready for.

I hear it often: parents create a birth plan for an intervention-free birth, only to meet an unexpected fork in the road. Without exploring alternative routes ahead of time, they don’t feel equipped to make truly informed and aligned decisions at that defining crossroad.

Most second-time families I’ve worked with have shared this truth. 

This isn’t about adding more information to your plate; it’s about simplifying it. It’s not about adding pressure; it’s about easing it. 

Together, we sort through the noise so you can feel more grounded and confident instead of overwhelmed and lost.

Trusting your body and your baby is powerful, and preparation doesn’t take away from that. It protects your ability to flow with birth, not be swept along by the system.

The group program runs over 2 consecutive Saturdays, from 10am to 5pm with a 1 hour lunch break. Please see our our upcoming dates below.

Private classes are tailored to your availability (Sundays and weeknights). Please reach out to discuss this option.

While you can absolutely begin hypnobirthing at any time and still enjoy its benefits, we do recommend taking the program between 20 and 30 weeks, if possible.
 

This will give you time to practise the techniques and will ensure that the content is fresh in your mind when you give birth.
 

We also recommend that you sign up for a class as early as possible to secure your spot as spaces are limited and can sell out early.

Your support person can be anyone who will be present during your birth- this could be your partner, parent, sibling, friend, or another trusted person. It’s important to invite your birth partner if available, as the program is designed to include them as well.

If there are exceptional circumstances and you require more than one support person, please contact us so we can discuss how to accommodate your needs.

If you don’t have a birth partner or support person, that’s perfectly okay too. 

Yes, we can run hybrid programs. If you need, or would prefer, to join us remotely please contact us.

We will connect via Zoom and will post the Hypnobirthing Australia workbook in advance. 

Let's talk it through. Contact me here and I'll set a time for a 15-20 minute phone or video call. Or we can email if you'd prefer.
