The Hobart Hypnobirthing Co.

Giving birth is one of the most extraordinary experiences life can offer, and the day you meet your precious baby is one you will never forget. Every woman has the right to a positive birth, and deserves to re-tell and re-live her birth story with a sense of pride, delight and wonder. Your baby’s birthday will be an annual celebration of your little one, but it is my hope that it will also be a reminder of one of the most amazing days of your lives, and one of your greatest achievements. That’s what hypnobirthing helped me achieve (I’m a proud mum of one hypnobub), and that’s a joy I’m truly passionate about spreading.

The Hypnobirthing Australia program provides positive childbirth education uniquely designed for Australian mothers and their birth partners. When a birthing mother is prepared with knowledge about the birth process, tools to stay positive, calm and comfortable through labour, has good support, and a method of preparation for both mind and body, birth can be a very positive and empowering experience.

Hypnobirthing uses a combination of different philosophies and evidence-based techniques. You will learn breathing, relaxation, massage and self-hypnosis techniques, along with knowledge and tools to assist you to make well-informed decisions along the way. Your birth partner takes on a special role, and they will learn how they can best support you throughout labour and birth.

The ‘hypno’ part of ‘hypnobirthing’ refers to the hypnotherapy that we use to let go of fears and condition ourselves to release endorphins during our birth. With the help of hypnotherapy, the birth of your baby can be a more calm and relaxed experience, one where you are in the driver’s seat, rather than feeling like a passenger. This is likely to reduce your need for interventions during your birthing.
