Expecting a new baby can be overwhelming.
Fears can crop up. Worries can overcome you.

I remember my own first birthing experience. I thought I could do a great job - and I looked forward to the special day. But I wasn’t properly prepared. And part way through I had a traumatic experience. I later discovered that with the right education and preparation the birthing process could be beautiful and joyous - and that trauma can be minimised or avoided. Armed with this knowledge I became motivated to help other women too.

I passionately believe all women deserve their birthing experience to be one of the most beautiful, empowering, and joyous experiences of their lives. My passion is to educate and empower women -- and their partners -- to achieve their best birth and beyond.

The birth experience does not need to be left to chance. A woman can have greater control over how the birth process goes. With the right education, information, and acknowledgment of options, each woman can unlock her power in the birth process.

I focus on debunking the myths and fears around birth through education that empowers the mind to allow the body to do what the body is innately and instinctively able to do.

I use Hypnobirthing, which is supported by evidence-based research. And can help reduce or eliminate the problems often associated with the perinatal, birth, and post-natal experience.

Through Hypnobirthing I help the mum-to-be mentally prepare her mind and body during the perinatal, birthing, and post-natal phases of her pregnancy.

What is the positive birth program all about?

Hypnobirthing is an evidence-based positive childbirth program designed to give mothers and their birth partners greater control at every stage of the birth process. This is done through education, information, and acknowledgment of the various options each woman has available to her before, during, and after pregnancy.

Hypnobirthing uses hypnotherapy to prepare your mind and body for every stage of the birth. Through hypnotherapy, your body releases endorphins that help your body and mind become calm and relaxed. Despite what many think, this gives you greater control, not less, through the birth process.Through hypnosis, you let go of fears, tension, or anxiety you may be experiencing even if you’re not aware of these feelings. This makes the birth process more comfortable. Gives you a sense of control and confidence, and puts you in the most positive state possible to enjoy every aspect of the birth experience. 

You will also learn breathing, relaxation, and massage techniques to make the whole birth experience more peaceful, comfortable, and enjoyable. Plus you’ll receive education and tools to help you make well-informed decisions throughout the birth process and beyond.

If medical intervention is required, such as caesarean, the self-hypnosis and deep relaxation techniques used in hypnotherapy before, during, and after birth will be a great help and provide relief and comfort to you and your baby.

How can hypnobirthing help me?

Hypnotherapy gives you the knowledge, tools, support, and mental and physical preparation you need to have a positive birth. That’s why Hypno-Birthing is the fastest-growing childbirth education program taught privately or in group settings to expecting mums and their birth partners throughout Australia.

You get the knowledge about your body/mind connection, hormones, and physiology of birth, what to expect at each stage of the process, how to bond effectively with your baby, how to prepare for and deal with special circumstances that may arise, as well as knowledge about various birthing preferences.

Hypnotherapy gives you the tools, including breathing techniques, relaxation, affirmations, visualisation techniques, movement, massage, acupressure, and self-hypnosis techniques to ensure a calm, relaxed and positive birth experience.

You also get the support you need for yourself and your birth partner, including tools and techniques for you both, how to select the right environment for the birth, choices in maternity support and caregivers.

And you get the preparation you need for your mind and body. This includes cultivating a positive mindset, releasing fears, conditioning techniques, optimal positioning for baby, healthy diet and exercises routines and practices, and much more.

On March 10, 2022 at 7:58pm I was privileged to give birth to my own hypnobirthing baby – Baby Zyah was born at 40 weeks + 8 days at St George Hospital NSW with the Active Birth Team.  He was 4.22kg (9 pound 3 ounces) and 51 cm long.  Zyah was my second baby.  The experience was personally the BEST THING I have ever done.  Baby Zy Zy was a pleasure to give birth to and has been an absolute pleasure since the day he was born.

Here’s my birth story in video and pictures.  I wish for all women to have a positive birth experience just like I was lucky enough to experience. And I would love the opportunity to present this education to you.
