Bio
Hello, I’m Tushna – an Endorsed Midwife (private practising midwife) and Maternal & Child Health Nurse with experience across hospital and community settings.
My passion for supporting families through pregnancy and birth is shaped by both my professional background and my own journey into motherhood. After choosing a physiological homebirth for my first child, I experienced firsthand the power of trusting the body’s innate wisdom. It affirmed my belief that birth is not simply a clinical event. It is a transformative rite of passage that deserves preparation, respect and calm, grounded support.
In my Hypnobirthing Australia™ classes, I combine evidence-based knowledge with practical tools and mindset preparation to help couples release fear and approach birth with confidence. Whether planning a hospital birth or homebirth, I am deeply committed to ensuring families feel informed, empowered and supported in their choices.
Continuity and relationship-based care are values that underpin all of my work. My hope is that families feel genuinely nurtured and held throughout the birth space and parenting journey. You can learn more via my website.
It’s an honour to guide couples through this profound season of life, helping them create memories of strength, connection and joy that last a lifetime.

My husband and I had the best experience with Tush for our Hypnobirthing classes! From the moment of first contact, Tush was responsive, kind, humble, down to earth and prioritised what was important to us to get out of the sessions.
The space she created was warm, relaxing and safe, and we felt so much more confident and prepared in the lead up to the birth! We felt like we could ask her any questions, and she had a wealth of knowledge and experience behind her.
Tush went above and beyond to provide a great experience, empower and support us. So glad we found her when we did and wouldn’t have chosen any differently!
We’re so glad we chose Tush as our Hypnobirth teacher. From the very first session, she made us feel completely at ease. She was incredibly easy to talk to, super supportive, and created a really calm and comfortable environment for us to learn in.
She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to feel confident and enjoy the experience. We walked away feeling prepared, empowered, and genuinely excited about the birth ahead.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and down-to-earth hypnobirthing teacher!
