Swimming Between the Flags Choosing your Caregivers for Birth

26/08/2013 by Melissa Spilsted

In my classes, I describe our caregivers (midwives, doctors, obstetricians etc.) like the life-guards at the beach. When we swim at the beach, we choose to swim between the flags – because we know that should we get into difficulty, the life-guards are there to assist us. Of course, we don’t enter the water expecting… Read More

21/06/2013 by Melissa Spilsted

“The first time I realised we would need to alter our birthing plan was when I was told I was Group B positive. Unfortunately we had had the test before the discussion in class about it, and in future I doubt I will choose to have it. I was very panicky and teary when I… Read More

Hypnobirthing Australia™ Prompts for Birthing MP3
Along with ‘Surge of the Sea‘ and ‘Affirmations for Beautiful Birthing’, this (Prompts for Birthing MP3) was one of my most loved tracks during my third pregnancy & labour! I definitely recommend it!

Corryn Hypnobirthing Mum South Australia 20/03/2018

I had desperately wanted to experience a natural labour for my second pregnancy – and my obstetrician said this was fine as long as I went into labour naturally and there were no issues with the baby’s positioning.

Kathryn and Ben Ferny Hills, Brisbane QLD 03/09/2017

On the 12th of March (8 days earlier than my due date) we welcomed Layla Grace to the world in a calm, drug free and beautiful way. I had spent a lot of time listening to your tracks whilst commuting on the train and I felt mentally prepared for the task ahead.

Greg & Philippa Gold Coast 03/06/2017

“Just as you taught in class, I let go of all fear & tension and fully relaxed into the surges, trusting my body to know what to do and it worked – better than I ever could have wished.”

Melanie, Pete, Sophie & baby Lucas Hypnobirthing Mum, Gold Coast 03/03/2017
