I’m Esther, Hypnobirthing Australia™ practitioner, qualified (non-practising) midwife and Hypnobirthing Mum to my Hypnobub Luna, who was born at home in 2024, based on the border of Brisbane and Ipswich.

I have been fascinated by everything about pregnancy and birth since I was young. Growing up in the Netherlands birth was seen as just a part of life, homebirth is very common and it is the norm for women to mainly see midwives throughout their pregnancy.

I believe mindset is such an important part of your birth experience and by teaching the Positive Birth Program I hope to make women and their birth partners feel empowered, prepared, and excited for their birth, instead of fearful and out of depth.

Having a baby can be overwhelming, but everyone deserves to look back at their birth experience feeling confident, safe, and empowered. I want to be part of the solution, helping women to feel well-prepared before their big day.

The Positive Birth Program will give you the tools, knowledge, and support to have the most positive birth possible, using your own informed decisions, no matter how or where you decide to birth your baby.
