February group 2026 ✨

So many laughs, questions, and beautiful moments shared. Ending with an applause honestly reminded me how lucky I am to teach Hypnobirthing and share my pelvic floor physio knowledge with you all.

Definitely my cheekiest and most talkative group, I even lost track of time. 🥹 Watching you all connect, learn, and prepare for birth together was so special.

I hope each of you has a positive and safe experience, one filled with so much oxytocin that you don’t know what to do with it other than soak it up with your baby and as a new family.

Thank you for choosing me to be your birth educator!

Love Ashlee xx

What is this incredible partner doing to support a labouring mumma?

They’re using counter-pressure to the pelvis as baby moves down through late first stage and into second stage of labour. This technique can ease discomfort, support baby’s descent, and provide natural pain relief through surges.

Most importantly, it creates space for the birthing person to move through labour feeling deeply supported with hands-on contact, reassurance, and the comfort of knowing a trusted partner is right there 🥹

These are the kinds of skills we practise (and so many more) in my Hypnobirthing courses, helping support people feel confident, calm, and truly helpful during birth.

Spot the little helpers during labour 💕

Partner support – being present, calm, and caring so she can lean into you and use your presence as an anchor during intense moments.

TENS machine – offers distraction and pain relief for some women.

Eye mask – blocking out light and distractions to help birth hormones flow freely.

Dim lighting – darkness and soft light can encourage labour to progress naturally.

Loving touch – creates a sense of safety and releases oxytocin, a key hormone for labour.

Upright positions – using gravity to support dilation and progress.

Small supports can make a big difference in how labour feels and flows. 💛

✨ BIRTH STORY SHARE ✨

I am honoured to share this beautiful testimonial from a mama who trusted me through her pregnancy, Hypnobirthing preparation and postnatal journey. Her words speak to the power of safety, education and supportive care ❤️

“I always feared pregnancy and birth, and I didn’t understand why until I went through my own infertility and pregnancy journey. Now, looking back, I am so PROUD of my birth.

I had disconnected from the idea of being pregnant because of my PCOS and knowing my mum experienced many losses before having me. I was protecting my heart and mind. When we fell pregnant in 2024, I chose the private health system for consistent care and I was so lucky with the team I had. One of them was Ashlee. Through physio support pre- and post-birth, and Hypnobirthing, Ashlee helped me understand where my fear of birth truly came from what society and media have created for women.

I shared my fears with my husband and realised they were mostly about things I couldn’t control. Birthing in a private hospital made me feel safe. Hypnobirthing also made me reflect on my grandmothers who birthed in the 1920s and 1960s both Australia and Lebanon. Their stories, combined with the tools I learned through the Course, gave me the knowledge to advocate for myself and understand the levels of intervention available when needed.

I felt safe, supported, and like myself. I had my labour playlist, fairy lights, lollies, lavender oil, a HOT shower, and photos of my mum and mother-in-law from when my husband and I were born. I went from 3 to 9cm in the shower….Pushing was long, 1 hour and 45 minutes but I got the birth I wanted. When she came out, I grabbed her and stared at her little face. I realised the love I felt for her was the same love my mum would have felt meeting me. Such a beautiful intergenerational bond, especially after losing my mum 5 years ago. The pain went. The love overflowed. The tiredness set in. But the love grew and so did the pride.

My experience was my power, my choice, my time, my birth with my loving partner”.

October 2025 Group (+ another couple, not in photo)
You attended Hypnobirthing with .births and I truly hope you enjoyed it as much as I love teaching it.

Our group was such a beautiful mix with first-time parents, second-time parents doing the course for the 2nd time, an incredible VBAC mum and a wonderful solo mama💕… all united by the desire to learn how to create a positive birth experience.

Each of you came with open minds, ready to ask questions, absorb the techniques and deepen your understanding of labour, birth, medical options, pelvic floor and physiological birth.

You all continue to inspire me, and I hope your births are everything you wish for; safe, empowering, and filled with love.

With love always,
Ashlee xx
