My positive birth story. Where do you start with a birth story! So many places. A run down on my pregnancy and birth experience would be an overall healthy and positive one, I took a class for hypnobirthing with my partner from around 26 weeks and we both loved every minute of it learning about […]
Hi Melissa, Just wanted to share our beautiful baby girl, Billie with you. Born on December 30 via emergency c section, weighing 3.97kg and 55cm long. She was a week overdue and is 5 weeks old today. Although the birth took an interesting turn and didn’t go according to our preferences, we were able to […]
Madelyn Edith’s birth story I undertook Nikki’s Connected Hypnobirthing course in July. As third time parents my husband Dale and I were amazed by how much we learnt and how we could reframe our previous birth experiences. After the course I downloaded the Hypnobirthing tracks and began to listen to them each night. At first […]

We commenced our hypnobirthing journey with Jemma Vyas from South East Hypnobirthing in Melbourne providing us with her one-day intense session back in September 2019. Being a midwife myself, I knew the birth I wanted to have, a calm and positive birth. My husband Ted was keen to do childbirth education classes and when we […]
I have been meaning to email to say thank you for your online program and to give a bit of feedback on my birth experience 6 weeks ago. I only signed up to the Hypnobubs program at 36 weeks after being encouraged by a friend to do so, as I was really hoping for a […]
Hi Melissa, Just thought we would let you know that we had our baby on the 20th December. I developed preeclampsia and had to be induced. We had a lot of thoughts and feelings around the quick decision that had to be made but we wanted to do what was in the best interest of […]
I just wanted to share my hypnobirthing experiences which resulted in a great birthing experience for my partner and myself as first-time parents. Sorry, it’s a bit long – I didn’t realise how much I wanted to say! Travis and I worked with Anne Carstairs in Kiama to study hypnobirthing from when I was about 20 weeks […]
I really believe that the Hypnobirthing Australia™ techniques just allowed me to stay calm to let my body work it’s magic – almost a little too well ?. Due to it all being so fast, the photos are very raw and I literally had to yell at my mum to grab her camera, otherwise we […]
I just wanted to write to you an say how wonderful my weekend course was with your practitioner, Katie Kempster from Harmonic Hypnobirthing in Copacobana this weekend was. The course is so explicitly laid out and I learned so much. This was the sort of information I was hoping was going to be touched on […]
This was my 3rd bub and I decided that although my other births were great and I had no trauma, I wanted to be more in control and far less anxious. After all, it is one of, if not the best day of your life in my opinion. I started my hypnobirthing journey at 30weeks […]
I decided to try hypnobirthing for my 4th pregnancy as I had a disappointing 3rd labour. It was by far my quickest and calmest birth I’ve had. I started getting contractions 10 minutes apart at 9 pm. At this point I stayed in bed and just listened to my audio tracks as they were quite […]
I started practising Hypnobirthing late in my second trimester. I craved a better birth than my last. I had done a lot of personal work to aim for a calm birth, with the research of my options to be able to advocate for myself, however, when the time came, I didn’t really have the tools […]
Hi Melissa, I’ve been meaning to send you an email for a while now. I cannot thank you enough. Your online course enabled me to have the birth that I had wished for and the complete opposite experience to my first birth. My first birth was a nightmare. 3 days of pre-labour and no sleep. […]
Hello team! We welcomed our beautiful little daughter, Odette on 26/9/19. We had an amazing birth (although we couldn’t have our waterbirth, as no one qualified was on duty). I used the mantra ‘I will calmly meet whatever path my birthing takes We stayed at home until I was 5cm dilated, listening to my affirmations […]
I was lucky enough to have a relatively ‘textbook’ twin pregnancy with three extremes of trimesters. My first being full of excitement, fear, anxiety, disbelief and last but not least (as is common with multiple pregnancies)- dreaded nausea. Whilst a sign of a healthy pregnancy (some might say), it left me sofa-bound and feeling very […]
Can you use your hypnobirthing skills during an ECV (External Cephalic Version) to help turn a breech baby? Absolutely! Watch this video of one of our Hypnobirthing Australia™ star mamas, taught by Mae’t Pearson, who stayed SO calm during the procedure. She was listening to our Breech Turn track (using earphones) as the ECV was […]
The birth story of Quade I can’t pinpoint the exact time that labour began. On the 8th July at 5.57 pm I sent my husband a text message saying ‘I’ve had a hard day. It’s like he dropped overnight he is so low and I’ve had pains and kind of short surges all day.’ To […]
This was my 3rd pregnancy and my first time ever taking a hypnobirthing course. I took it at about 34 weeks pregnant and I was incredibly grateful!! I had a natural delivery before, but I can’t even describe how different they felt. It was truly incredible and I loved the experience!! I’m telling all my […]
We have recently completed your Hypnobubs Online Hypnobirthing Course that was recommended to us by Nikki Jones from Connected Hypnobirthing Our little man arrived super early at 35+2. I had the most amazing empowering birth anyone could ever hope for, even though I knew he was going to be a very preterm and prem baby. […]
