About Hypnobirthing Australia's

Positive Birth Program

Hi, my name is Anna, experienced Midwife, birth worker, bodyworker and Mother.

I teach the Hypnobirthing Australia™ Course in small groups from my peaceful lounge room, overlooking the gumtrees in Mollymook. I also sometimes travel to a stunning location in Kiama Downs to teach over looking the ocean. Or in the comfort of your own lounge room.

My passion is creating positive and lasting change for birthing women and their families on a deep subconscious level. Where birth is viewed as sacred and all mothers see themselves as powerful shape shifting, life giving and life nurturing beings.

I teach forgotten primal birthing wisdom with a modern twist; by sharing with a woman how she is PERFECTLY designed for birth. And supporting women to understand and release fear-based associations of childbirth; transforming it into remembered knowledge and awakened power from within.

I have witnessed just how transformative and powerful the Hypnobirthing Australia™ Course is with my own eyes and my own birthing body. I want to continue to share this wisdom, so women and their birth-partners have effective tools and knowledge to feel prepared and supported to surrender to the magic of childbirth and parenthood.
As a former midwife that has supported many women during pregnancy, labour, birth and postpartum; my drive is for Mothers to confidently believe in themselves and trust their incredible bodies with self-determination and self-amazement that will last lifetime’s.

I feel honoured to share such a beautiful gift of wisdom with Mothers and their familes on the south coast.

The 'hypno' part of hypnobirthing refers to the hypnotherapy similar to guided meditation, that we use during Hypnobirthing Australia's Positive Birth Program to release fears stored in our subconscious and then condition ourselves to release copious amounts of endorphins (natures pain relief) during our birth.

With the help of hypnotherapy, the birth of your baby can be a more calm and pleasurable experience; one where you are in the driver's seat, rather than feeling like a passenger. This is proven to reduce the need for interventions during your birthing.

The use of hypnosis in The Positive Birth Program is just one of the many tools of evidence based material that we utilise to prepare for a positive and empowered birth.

There are 4 key elements that we utilise during the program to promote a positive and empowered birth experience...

Knowledge

Because knowledge is power!

I will teach you and your partner how your body is perfectly designed for birth as you learn about the physiology of the birth process. We will also discuss your options navigating the maternity system and how to differentiate between needed and unnecessary interventions so you can use the system to your advantage.

Tools

The Positive Birth Program is as much about mindset as it is about the tools I will teach you for childbirth. We will cover relaxation, visualisation, movement, water immersion, touch, massage, acupressure, self-hypnosis and breathing techniques to support you to feel calm and loved during your birth.

Support

A huge amount of the course is aimed at boosting the confidence in the birth partners very important role in birth in supporting the birthing Mother. During labour and birth you are a team and the birthing Mother needs complete trust from her birth partner of her capability to birth.

Preparation

You wouldn't run a marathon without firstly preparing the mind and body - birth is no different! This course will thoroughly prepare you and your birth partner mentally, as well as provide tips for to remain healthy and strong for your birth that at times really does feel like a marathon.
