Michelle fell in love with Birth Education and Hypnobirthing after completing the Hypnobirthing Australia™ course herself and using the techniques to birth her second child.

After having a such a positive birthing experience with our first pregnancy (thanks to Michelle!), we did not hesitate to return to Michelle for her guidance with our second pregnancy through her refresher course. It brought back so many wonderful memories and handy tools we had forgotten from our first, but also allowed us to work through any new found hesitations heading into delivery again. Our second delivery was so unique to our first, but we were just as prepared and were able to enjoy the unexpected. The level of support throughout and follow up from Michelle is invaluable. She goes above and beyond to help with your queries and sharing her expertise, but is also a loving mother and friend that can speak from her own personal experience.
We feel so fortunate to be able to have learnt from Michelle and will always recommend her training to those who want to be in control of their birthing experience.
Michelle is a genuine and kind soul who creates such a relaxing, welcoming and supportive environment in her course.
She is thorough in her delivery of the content and knows this space well.
I was highly anxious about birth and Michelle made me feel so much calmer, more aware of about my options and created space to release fears in a safe and supportive way.
I cannot recommend Michelle enough for anyone who is fearful of birth, she is a true gem! Thank you Michelle for your work x
Hi Michelle,
Just wanted to say a big thank you for guiding us through Hypno birthing.
Your expertise and the techniques you taught us were absolutely instrumental in helping me navigate labour successfully and have an incredibly positive experience.
I went from feeling anxious about giving birth to feeling super confident and stoked about the whole thing.
I am so grateful that I was able to have an unmedicated birth, and I believe that the breathing techniques and involvement of my husband were key factors that got me through it.
I laboured as long as I could in a calm environment at home and when I did eventually arrive at the hospital, Maxwell was born an hour later!
You’re amazing and we’re forever grateful for the impact you’ve had on our birthing journey!
We could not have birthed with such an empowered feeling and acceptance of changed plans if it were not for Michelle’s course.
Michelle provides a broad range of knowledge and was not just there for the course days but as an ongoing support and resource right up until the birth. I would not hesitate to reccomend My Hypbobirthing to anyone looking to enter labour feeling positive and empowered. Thanks Michelle
Michelle is incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and is a great teacher. She worked well with both my husband and I, and we both felt we could come to her with any questions without judgement. I ended up having a planned caesarean, and felt completely supported and held by Michelle in my final weeks. Michelle helped me to create a really positive and empowering caesarean birth, something I think is not really talked about! We would highly recommend her as an instructor.
So glad we did this course and had Michelle. I was quite anxious and nervous prior and leading up to the weeks of our due date but Michelle taught us great techniques, showed us so many positive birth stories to really put my mind at ease that lovely birth stories can happen. I felt empowered after the course. I would definitely recommend it!
With all the negativity around we always tend to be scared of what the birthing experience will be and be scared of the unknown. Doing the hypnobirthing course with Michelle has definitely changed our perspective on this. Birth is something to be celebrated and not something to be scared off. Birthing can be a calm and wonderful experience for both the birthing parent and the birthing partner. The techniques Michelle has taught us definitely give us the confidence to enter the birthing suite with a calm and open mind and be excited about our bubba’s arrival. Looking forward to applying all the hypnobirthing techniques we have learned and having a positive birthing experience.
