Amanda Dermody has been a Registered Nurse since 2006 and a Registered Midwife since 2008.  She qualified as an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant in 2019 and prides herself on practicing with a whole person, woman centred approach.  Amanda is also a mother of 3 and it was a combination of her own birth experiences and her experiences as a midwife, that gave her the push to become a Certified Hypnobirthing Australia Practitioner.

Amanda thoroughly believes that birth can, and should, be a positive and empowering experience for all women, regardless of how a baby is born.  Amanda recognises how imperative antenatal education and preparation is, and the profound role that this plays in a woman’s birth experience.  She is passionate about working with women and their support people to aid in achieving optimal and satisfying birth experiences,

Amanda has seen the incredible impact of the Positive Birth Program in women she has cared for during labour and birth, and believes that it is the positive change needed in the antenatal education world.

Amanda is excited to be a Certified Hypnobirthing Australia Practitioner and is looking forward to discussing with you the preparation for your own positive birth.
