DOES HYPNOBIRTHING WORK?
SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE
Does hypnobirthing really work? Yes it does – and now we have the outcomes (collected independently from a large public hospital in Australia) to prove it! Check out the amazing birth outcomes from parents who attended our ‘Positive Birth Program’ at Bunbury Hospital, WACHS, Western Australia.
Amazing outcomes!
POSITIVE BIRTH PROGRAM VS NON ATTENDANCE
The Hypnobirthing Australia™ 'Positive Birth Program' actually WORKS!
Award winning Childbirth Educator, Midwife & Nurse, Kasey Biggar was instrumental in having our Positive Birth Program, Positive Caesarean Birth Program and Positive Birth Indigenous program all implemented into Bunbury hospital in Western Australia. She collected data over a year long period and compared the birth outcomes of those who attended our Positive Birth Program with those who didn’t.
When she shared the amazing results with the Western Australian Country Health Service (WACHS), which is responsible for 19 hospitals throughout regional and rural W.A., they were so impressed they made our program available throughout ALL of their health services! If that isn’t a testament to the effectiveness of this program we don’t know what is. 😁 Our programs are evidence based, down to earth, accessible and they actually WORK!

But it doesn't stop there!
It’s not just about how we birth, it’s also about how we feel about our birth. There is so much birth trauma experienced in our modern world and we need to change that. The positive birth program Can play an instrumental part in this change. With the outcomes collected women were asked to choose words to describe birth before and then after attending our positive birth program. This course completely changed the way Women described birth – from negative to positive.

How did we go?
After the classes we asked women what their likelihood of referring others to the Positive Birth Program would be. 100% of women said they would refer the class to others. We also asked for a star rating (5 stars being the best) as to how they found the course. Our average was 4.9 stars.
