As a qualified educator and adult trainer with over 20 years teaching experience, registered Clinical Hypnotherapist and three times hypnobirthing mum, herself; Melissa Spilsted looks forward to sharing the secrets to a calm and positive birth with you!
“I felt in control during the entire labour and birth. My partner and I enjoyed the birth process so much, and attribute this to our hypnobirthing preparation. It was a wonderful experience, and beautiful birth. I’m so happy we invested in and committed to the hypnobirthing course and philosophy. Thank you Melissa for teaching us!” Hannah and Ben
