Positivley Hypnobirthing

“A Hypnobirthing Course is how much?…….”

I like many women out there had this exact conversation with my husband and with myself to be honest.
There is so much expense when preparing for a babies arrival that “trying out” a hypnobirthing course can seem like an unnecessary expense.



My husband was pretty blank when he said “i’m not paying for that!” followed by “i’m not getting hypnotised” obviously it’s not at all about getting hypnotised 😵‍💫 but the name definitely suggests you do!

There are a lot of cheaper online courses out there where you pay a monthly fee and watch videos. I have never done any of those but honestly feel there is nothing like the personal care and knowledge of booking a one to one or group course with a hypnobirthing teacher.

I can truly say as a hypnobirthing mum that it was the best money I have ever spent, because I know the births of my babies would have been so completely different without the knowledge and techniques the course taught me.

If you are contemplating a course but would like more information before committing, get in touch. There is no obligation to book but by getting in touch it may help you decide what is best for you and your baby.

Water Birth Benefits;

The warmth of the water aids relaxation and helps the contractions/ surges feel more comfortable

Women are less likely to require pain medication when birthing in water

The birthing pool feels like a secure safe place for Mum, she has her own space providing a greater sense of privacy

Aids mobilisation for birth, because you are buoyant in water it’s easier to move into positions that you are comfortable in

Babies born in water are often calmer

Less likely to tear or require any interventions, less likely to require assisted births

All of the above can aid a more positive birthing experience 🥰
Combine it with hypnobirthing techniques and you too could have an amazing, beautiful, enjoyable birthing experience.

This week marked the 1st birthday of our youngest baby 🥰
Our 2nd water baby, 2nd hypnobirth baby and 1st homebirth baby.
My babies birthdays always make me reflect on the day we first looked into each other’s eyes 💞

Giving birth to her was amazing! It’s actually last time I can remember having a day of true relaxation 😂
A day when my husband took care of everything and I relaxed and concentrated on my breathing for 5 whole hours! 🧘‍♀️

Both of our babies were born in the and both absolutely love the water so what better way to celebrate her big day than to have a family swim.

If you have been thinking of a then look out for my post later this week with the many benefits it can have for you and baby!

“Allowed”!!

Before hypnobirthing I didn’t realise I had the choice to decide how or where I birthed my baby.

Hypnobirthing educates you on all of your birthing options so YOU can make informed decisions and decide what is right for you and baby, not what you are told your “allowed” to do.

It’s your body, your baby, your birth

I was so lucky to have the midwives in Perth look after me during both of my pregnancies and births.

My 1st baby was born in the midwife led unit in Perth and my 2nd at home with a midwife present. Both were water births, both were considered quick labours, both were relaxed, calm and just absolutely amazing!

The midwives in my area provide continuity of care, so each pregnant mamma is looked after by the same midwife throughout her pregnancy, which is awesome!
I feel so lucky to have been cared for by the wonderful midwives in Perth. I’m forever thankful to them.

I used hypnobirthing for both of my births and had the best birthing experiences.
Midwives know of hypnobirthing, many have used it during their own births or teach it privately as they have seen how well it facilitates birth.

If you are pregnant and want to find out more about hypnobirthing or enrol on a course, you can do through my website or send me a message.

Who else felt like this during the last few weeks of pregnancy?!

Your energy can be low and you may experience some aches and pains due to all of the changes in your body

BUT

You have never been closer to holding your baby in your arms 🥰 and to facilitate birth it’s important to keep active.

To get your energy back and distract your mind from how “big” you feel you could try:

Going out for a walk whilst remembering how amazing your body is,

Switch sitting on your normal chair for a yoga ball for part of your day/ evening to help open up your pelvis,

Talk to baby whilst rubbing your bump, connect with your unborn child, they are loving being all comfy and cozy in your belly and will soon start making their journey into the world to meet you.

Embrace these last few weeks, you are beautiful, you can do this, you are creating and growing another life! You are amazing! 😍

This could be the reality for so many more woman if they released fear about birth and trusted in their bodies.

Initially I felt like I couldn’t tell other mums how much I enjoyed giving birth because everyone else seemed to have quite traumatic experiences.

I don’t know any hypnobirthing Mums and birth partners who didn’t say what a positive, and yes, enjoyable experience it was bringing their baby into the world.

Take control of your birthing experience, and learn how hypnobirthing can give you the birth you want 💞

Contact me if you would like find out what it’s all about.

Much love

Practise Practise Practise

Since teaching Hypnobirthing I feel like I’m constantly saying that 😵‍💫

Doing a hypnobirthing course is just the beginning.
To achieve the outcome you want it’s all about how much practise YOU then put into it!

An athlete doesn’t just rock up at her event and expect to be the best. They practise, they train, they get there mind and body ready!

In every positive birth story the mum and birth partner always mention the practise they did during pregnancy.

Keep calm and beautiful and look forward to birthing your 💞

Let’s bring up our children to have no fear when it comes to child birth!

Not long ago my 8 year old neighbour was playing with my son. She said “I want 2 kids. Well I will adopt 2 kids because it would be way to painful to give birth”!

While adoption is beautiful, isn’t it sad that fear over childbirth can start as young as that! And that birth is associated with pain, as young as 8 years old!
It’s so sad that women are brought up to fear the most beautiful day of their lives.

A day when we can truley embrace, love and appreciate the capabilities of our body!

If you want to look forward to giving birth with no fear book a full hypnobirthing course 💕
