A Positive Birth – Free of Fear:

HypnoBirthing is a technique for achieving a positive, calm and stress-free birth. When you are properly prepared for childbirth and when the mind and body are in harmony, nature is free to function in the same well-designed manner that it does with all mothers in nature.

You and your birth partner will gain the confidence to advocate for your birth choices, choose and work collaboratively with a care-provider and team that you completely trust, feel supported by and know will ensure that your birth isn’t intervened with unnecessarily or without your consent.

Through self-hypnosis, special breathing, visualisation techniques, and so much more, the comprehensive HypnoBirthing International program gives you everything you need to feel prepared and confident for birth and parenting as well as have you feeling supported (as you should) during this most important and transformative experience of your life!

HypnoBirthing is a birthing method that uses various relaxation techniques and self-hypnosis to help women feel physically, mentally and spiritually prepared for labour and birth.

Breathing exercises have long been part of antenatal classes, however HypnoBirthing takes this to another level with visualisation, relaxation and mindfulness techniques to help the mother concentrate on her body and the birth of the child. HypnoBirthing teaches you that, in the absence of fear and anxiety, pain will not be as severe and can be managed quite successfully. Most importantly, women are fully educated with all available birthing techniques and pain control options, so they can make an informed choice that is right for them. HypnoBirthing can be used with all other types of pain relief and be added to your birth plan.

HypnoBirthing is an evidence based 5 week childbirth education program that teaches you and your birth partner everything you need to know to navigate pregnancy, birth and beyond with confidence. We help you release the fears you have around birthing and parenting, help you trust your body, and give you proven tools and techniques to birth in a calmer, more comfortable way so that you can birth just the way you want to and feel incredibly positive and proud about it! Each course runs for five 2.5 hours sessions over 5 weeks. We are flexible and there are options for private classes to meet your schedule.

According to Dr Grantly Dick-Read, when fear is not present neither is pain. Fear causes the arteries leading to the uterus to constrict and become tense, creating pain. In the absence of fear, the muscles relax and become pliable, and the cervix is able to naturally thin and open as the body pulsates rhythmically and expels the baby with ease.

Through deep relaxation and innate breathing, you can rid your body of the debilitating fear that creates tension and labour pain. HypnoBirthing® creates the ideal platform for women, their partners and their babies to learn the necessary tools in order to achieve their ultimate birth wishes.

It reminds us that birth is normal and natural, and like the bodies of other mammals in nature, a healthy pregnant woman instinctively knows how to birth, just as their bodies instinctively know how to conceive and nurture the development of their babies.

The HypnoBirthing program and antenatal class is now used in 8 Major Australian hospitals, is recommended by midwives and obstetricians and has over 180 certified educators because it is evidenced based, and it works!
