Hi and welcome to all expecting families,

My name is Bridie. I am a Registered Midwife and Mother of boys. I am passionate about families receiving continuity of care during their pregnancy and birth, and I am blessed to experience first-hand what a difference that can make throughout people’s journeys.

My desire to become a Certified Hypnobirthing Australia™ Practitioner stemmed from the realisation that many pregnant people felt scared, anxious or unprepared about birth and/or transitioning into parenthood. This became more apparent during COVID-19 with such little face-to-face connections available for pregnant people. I know so many families still feel forgotten in our system and are not receiving the honest or positive education they deserve.

Birth can and should be a joyful, empowering and ecstatic experience – whether you’re welcoming your first or fifth baby!  I understand many people have had traumatic experiences of birthing too, so if that sounds like you, know that this program is the perfect addition for subsequent births too. Birth can be transformative and healing and I believe many tools used in this program can also set you up for a positive parenting journey too. 

I look forward to meeting you!
