Hi, My positive birth story. 29/01/2020 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… Read More
And all I can say now is, you’ve got this.
Hi Melissa, I did the weekend course in Torquay Victoria at 36wks pregnant and I wanted to share the email I sent to the group after I gave birth (I wrote it at 4am, after birthing at 10.30pm!). I’ve been sharing it because reading all the positive birth stories really helped me when I was… Read More
My partner was with me every step of the way and was fully prepared for the birth thanks to the hypnobirthing course
Hi, I completed the hypnobirthing course with my partner early in the third trimester of my pregnancy. I practiced the deep relaxation tracks regularly and then on a daily basis in the couple of weeks before my due date. My desire was to have a natural birth with minimal pain relief or medical intervention. At… Read More
I could feel my body naturally pushing.
Monday morning I woke up, I was 11 days past my estimated delivery day. I had this beautiful birth planned out in my head, natural, calm & in control after practicing hypnobirthing this pregnancy, desperate for a better experience this time around. Induction was crossing my mind every day – the hospital I was delivering… Read More
My mum said “the baby is coming!” And I said “IT ALREADY DID I FELT IT!” She came out arm first like superman!
On Tuesday the 17th September, the day before my estimated due date i woke up with some lower back and stomach pressure. I was texting my mum whilst still in bed saying “I think it’s nearly time I have never felt this pressure before in my pregnancy!” We laughed as my body had tricked me… Read More
I have been recommending Hypnobirthing now to everyone
My partner Robbie and I signed up for Vicki Hobb’s hypnobirthing classes in Perth late in my pregnancy, I have diagnosed anxiety and my method of procrastinating and ignoring my worries about labour were no longer working and I needed to do something about it as I was terrified of labour and what was going… Read More
“I can’t wait to do it all again knowing that I will have the right tools to achieve another calm beautiful birth”.
Hi Melissa, I just wanted to say that doing this course was utterly incredible. My partner was very nervous about coping with the delivery and not knowing how to help or support me. This course changed that. We welcomed our beautiful baby boy into the world on the 26/6/2020. I was in labour for 21… Read More
I trusted my body and my baby to deliver the way it was meant to.
Hi Melissa, Just a quick email to let you know we welcomed our little girl into the world last week. She decided she wanted to come a little over two weeks earlier than the estimated due date at 37 weeks 5 days and only weighed a tiny 2.62kg. Ellie Annabelle Rose Bresil was born… Read More
I always make sure our friends that are expecting know why Hypnobirthing will change their lives.
Hi Melissa, Oh my goodness, firstly I have to apologise for not sending you a huge thank you for your support over a year ago (and also nearly 3 years ago after the birth of our first daughter)!!!! I thought I would finally send you an email and let you know how big an impact your… Read More
The practice bundle has been helping so much.
” Just wanted to say (the practice bundle) has been helping so much. Melissa’s voice is fantastic, it helps to relax immensely ( the music itself is already very soothing). In these trouble times we are living in at the moment, when is so easy to let the news, the fear take the most of us,… Read More
It was a such a wonderful experience and I am so pleased we found hypnobirthing.
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… Read More
I feel so much more informed, relaxed, and prepared for the birth of my baby.
I just wanted to write to you and say how wonderful my weekend course was with your practitioner, Katie Kempster 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 in our hospital… Read More

Weighing in at 3.359kg and 50.5cm long. We had the most beautiful water birth, completely drug-free & are so grateful for… Read More
I was SO thankful for the birth affirmations, music and breathing techniques that I drew on at that time.
My name’s Anna and I’m a first time mum. I had my beautiful baby boy Isaac a month ago today. I’ve been a midwife for 7 years and currently work in the birth suite where I had Isaac which was a very interesting full circle experience for me! I have been the midwife for a… Read More

Hypnobirthing helped me stay positive and focused
I attended your course and wanted to let you know that I had my baby boy Alfie at 41+3. I had a very quick active labour and pushing – a total of 3 hours and 15 minutes. I employed hypnobirthing techniques at the start until transition (dim lights, fake candles, aromatherapy, bouncing on the ball,… Read More
Hypnobirthing helped me get through having a pre-term baby
A very quick update on our situation. Unfortunately, I developed pre-eclampsia and gave birth to our little girl Neve at 32 weeks gestation. To say we weren’t prepared for this is an understatement. It felt like a dream. I never expected an emergency c section and was so disappointed that I will never have my… Read More
Hypnobirthing was so helpful to relinquish any fear or anxiety I had about giving birth
I’m so delighted to share the news that little baby Liam arrived safely on 11th February. Unfortunately we had to be induced so my dreams of having a nice slow labour starting at home with my hypnobirth techniques didn’t quite occur, but I found loads of uses for them during my labour which was so… Read More
Once we reached the hospital she was born in less than 15 minutes!
I actually purchased the online course just four days before the delivery of my first daughter. In the short time, I had the course materials I do think they benefited me. I had a very quick labor and almost didn’t make it to my hospital for her arrival. Once we reached the hospital she was… Read More
Hypnobirthing from a Dad’s perspective – Hypnobirthing should be called ‘Compulsory Birth Preparation’
My wife and I did the online course thing where we watched the videos and then did the practice etc in our own time. I just wanted to write in to say that the hypnobirthing experience we had was amazing. My wife is the only person in our immediate family and close friends who did… Read More
