About Melissa Spilsted
Choosing your birth colour
In our Hypnobirthing Australia classes, we encourage mothers to choose an anchor ‘colour’ for deep relaxation. Some mothers choose one whilst listening to their hypnobirthing albums and some find that they have already been attracted to a particular colour throughout their pregnancy. When I mentioned this in the class that I ran over the weekend, hypnomum Jade said that she had… Read More
“We recommend hypnobirthing to everyone we talk to”
Hi Melissa, Tim and I wanted to let you know that we have had a beautiful little girl. Ariah (like Mariah without the M) Rose arrived last Wednesday 3rd, 2.5 weeks early. Not everything went to plan and we have had a rough 10 days with being in and out of hospital but used our… Read More
Uplifting and healing birth – hypnobirth of Sophie
I never could have imagined just how amazing giving birth could be until the birth of my third child. It was a truly healing and empowering birth and was everything and more than what I had hoped for. I thought my first hypno birth was wonderful and hoped to experience something similar. After a stillbirth… Read More

Dance that Baby Out to Induce Labour
Mums come up with all sorts of inventive ways of naturally inducing labour. This mama decided to boogie baby out to the tune of ‘Thriller’! ?
Screaming during birth
I often tell mothers who are attending our Hypnobirthing Australia and Hypnobubs classes that we can ‘think’ that we are making a LOT more noise during labour, than we actually are! This is feedback we received from a new mum who recently birthed her baby after completing our online course. My labour progressed very quickly. I arrived at hospital… Read More
Rory, born 19 December 2016
Our birthing story… Firstly I just wanted to give a massive thanks to Melissa and her program (Hypnobirthing Australia Program). Without Hypnobirthing I would not have had this positive experience to share with you all. Our baby had been in breech position since week 33, and I had been doing weekly acupuncture to help me… Read More

We have another AWESOME birth story to share with you from 2nd time hypnobirthing parents Kryssy and Michael! From a medical perspective, everything in my second pregnancy was running along smoothly, but emotionally, I was uneasy and a little bit anxious (and a lot more exhausted with my sassy 2 year old to keep entertained… Read More
Frankie Rose, born August 2016
Like many women, the idea of birth scared me. When a friend told me of her amazing hypnobirth, I was eager to learn some strategies to ensure that fear would not determine the type of birth that I would have. My Husband Luke and I enrolled in the Hypnobirthing Australia course with Melissa at 23… Read More

How does Visualisation Work?
In Hypnobirthing Australia classes, ‘visualisation’ is one of the important tools that we teach in preparation for a positive birth. But… let’s face it, the word ‘visualisation’ can sound a bit ‘woo-woo’.? How does it actually work and is there any science backing up its effectiveness? According to research using brain imagery, visualisation works because neurons in our brains… Read More
“I’m Scared About Being Cut (Episiotomy) and Tearing!”
In all the years that I have been teaching childbirth education, one of the most common fears that mothers have communicated with me has been… “I’m so scared about being cut (episiotomy) and tearing!” So what is an episiotomy? It is a surgical cut intended to widen the vaginal opening; and the prospect of having this… Read More
Am I “Allowed” to Refuse a Vaginal Exam During Labour?
Yesterday, a mother attending Hypnobirthing Australia Classes, asked me whether she was “allowed” to refuse vaginal examinations during labour. Good question. ? Although can I re-phrase it? You see, the question isn’t whether you are “allowed” to refuse a procedure – but rather, whether you choose to “allow” your caregiver to perform it. The power is always with… Read More
Sadie, born 18 August 2016

I had gone to the hospital… Read More
