Hello, and congratulations on being proactive in preparing for one of the most powerful experiences of your life which is birth – any type of birth.
I’m Esther, a certified and practising hypnotherapist and hypnobirthing practitioner based in Brisbane and Tugun (Gold Coast), Australia and operating nation-wide via zoom.
With over 20 years of experience working with people in both intimate and broader settings, I blend empathy and insight to create a sanctuary where mamas & birth partners feel genuinely safe and at ease. My practice is all about holding a nurturing space that invites you both to be open and receptive – setting the stage for profound learning and your own positive birth experience. I see first-time parents and those who ‘want to do it differently this time’. Partners always walk away from my course feeling confident and excited for birth, knowing exactly what their role is.
My passion lies in educating women and partners not only about the physiology of labour and birth and options and choices in the medical system, but also the incredible power of their minds in relation to birth.
Through hypnosis, I enjoy working with couples to release unhelpful perceptions of birth and replace these outdated and limiting self-beliefs with positive and empowered beliefs. This means you can make informed decisions with caregivers and work with your body and mind with power rather than being driven by uncertainty or fear. We can’t control birth, but we can control how we feel.
My Births:
My experiences of birth come from 2 opposite ends of the spectrum.
1st– a highly medicalised caesarean
2nd – an unmedicated vaginal delivery (VBAC).
I gave birth to my two babies in my early 40’s and am acutely aware of available options and choices for parents in these circumstances.
The labour and birth experience are imprinted on a woman and her child for the rest of their lives and it is so exciting to know that this process can be powerful and positive, no matter the type of birth. In your birth preparation, I’d be honoured to offer you vital learning tools, healthy encouragement, wisdom, insights and much laughter. You are more powerful than you know.
Individual, and group classes as well as tailored live zoom options are all on my website.
