Brynn Evelyn, born 9 May 2016

Note from Melissa: Alison and Grant originally attended Hypnobirthing Australia classes with me back in 2013, in preparation for the birth of their first baby. A homebirth with a registered private midwife was planned. They were very well prepared for the birth and had excellent care. However, some special circumstances arose during their first birth; so they transferred […]

Samuel, born May 2015

Hi Melissa, I wanted to share our birth story with you and thank you for our hypnobirthing experience! After attending your course earlier in the year, both Matt & I were feeling very positive about the upcoming birth of our first child. Understanding the birth process made it easy for us both to believe that […]

Israel, born 18 August 2015

Note from Melissa: This beautiful family originally attended Hypnobirthing Australia classes to prepare for their first birth back in 2013. They went to great effort (driving hundred of kms) in order to attend classes; and it certainly paid off when they had a very positive and empowered birth. This time around, we completed a refresher together via Skype. Little did we […]

Vaginal Seeding for C-Section (Caesarean, Cesarean, Cesarian)

Vaginal Seeding for C-Section: The British Medical Journal recently released an article titled ‘How should health professionals engage with this increasingly popular but unproven practice’ and must admit I shook my head in disbelief when reading the article. I wonder if the authors of this article have considered the fact that babies traditionally DO come out via the vaginal route.

Vivienne Rose, born 28 October 2015

I had a very traumatic birth with my son and had an unnecessary Caesarean. It took a lot to have another baby, but it was a wonderful pregnancy being cared for by an Independent Midwife. She suggested Hypnobirthing and we opted for the Hypnobubs Online Course as my husband is FIFO. When the time came everything […]

Evan James, born 12 February 2016

Hi Melissa, My husband and I did your online course leading into the arrival of our first baby. We live rurally and loved the flexibility of being able to do the online lessons at times that suited is and to re-watch things as we liked. The things that were most salient for me were creating […]

How I Started Hypnobirthing Australia & Hypnobubs – Career, Stay-at-home Mum or Both?

Melissa Spilsted

This is the first time I have written about my journey to starting Hypnobirthing Australia and Hypnobubs. I wanted to share this story in the hope of encouraging and inspiring other new parents to embrace the possible career/work changes that may occur when starting a family. Many mothers, in particular, hold fears about their future career prospects when […]

Birth: Emergency or Emergence?

So often, birth is described in terms of being an ’emergency’. The very wise and inspirational Binnie A Dansby urges us to think of birth as an ’emergence’ rather than an ’emergency’. And I couldn’t agree with her more! Melissa x Emergence and Emergency in How we are Born from www.wholebeingfilms.com on Vimeo.

Indiana Rose, born 12 March 2014
