Practice Name: Hypnobirthing Brisbane

Location of Service: Gordon Park (Brisbane)

Hello and welcome!

I am Caitlin, a childbirth educator, a registered nurse and a mother.

My passion is helping mothers.

Whether they are trying to conceive, pregnant, coping with a newborn or wrangling a toddler, I love hearing their stories, providing advice when I can or at least a shoulder to lean on. Since giving birth, I have provided casual encouragement to other women through my mommy blog http://www.motherdownunder.com.

I am thrilled to be a hypnobirthing practitioner and to be able to positively support women throughout their pregnancy, birth and beyond.

As a nurse, I have come to hypnobirthing from a scientific background, and I believe that empirically, the method makes so much sense. Our bodies are complex, are able to perform extraordinary feats and, just as they are capable of growing a perfect baby without our conscious input, they are also capable of birthing that perfect baby without much conscious effort.

After experiencing a beautiful hypnobirth, I felt so empowered and positive.

I strongly believe that, if your pregnancy and birth are the positive events that you hope they will be, you will enter motherhood feeling confident and better able to cope.

I found that hypnobirthing enabled me to have a relaxed pregnancy, a natural birth and demonstrated that trusting my mothering instincts led to ideal outcomes for me and my baby.

It is truly my wish that every woman has the opportunity to experience the pregnancy and birth that she desires.

Practice Name: Sacred Space Hypnobirthing and Hypnotherapy

Location of Service: Manly (QLD)

I would like to embark on this journey with you.

To provide a safe space to replace any fears of birth with confidence, not just for you, but for your birth partner too.

Help you to achieve your hopes and dreams for your birth, regardless of what course your labour may take.

Offering ongoing support after the course and if you have any residual fears, which I doubt you will, I will gladly come to your home and do a one on one fear release with you and/or your birthing partner.

After having two hypno bubs myself and a background in hypnotherapy, I have been constantly drawn back to hypnobirthing over the last five years. It is something I am deeply passionate about and I am so excited to be part of this birthing evolution. Women need to hear amazing birth stories when pregnant, not the war stories that so many women seem to have.

We need to spread the word that birth is a beautiful and powerful experience, which can be embraced wholeheartedly.

You will become an advocate for Hypnobirthing for years to come. You will be able to pass on the skills you have learnt to friends and family, and even one day, to your own children.

Offering small group classes and private classes in your own home if preferred. Contact me today to discuss payment plans and course options.

Practice Name: Truly Madly Motherhood

Location of Service: Brisbane, Ferny Hills, QLD

My classes are relaxed, down-to-earth, and really focus on your bodies innate capability to birth your baby. I believe birth is all about the mind. Of course there is a physical aspect to it but our bodies are so amazingly equipped to assist us in that process — it’s our thoughts and the stories we have in our head that can get in the way! So let’s work together to get your mind in the best possible headspace for the empowering and positive birth that you deserve. I so strongly believe that women are capable, powerful forces and when we are properly supported we can truly move mountains — or in this case we can move mini humans out of our bodies!

My birth experiences are a testament to the power of having an unwavering trust of your body and the natural process of birth. I have brought three very big babies safely into the world, all born at home and all needing me to pull on different aspects of my Hypnobirthing training to get me through. I have had a whole lot of life happen during my pregnancies, plus I am from Canada so my entire family is overseas. I didn’t have that primal support system of my mum and sisters so when life really started getting hard during my first pregnancy, and that calm joyful pregnancy journey that I had envisioned started slipping away from me, I had to come up with a new plan. I couldn’t control life, but I could control my birth experience — so that’s what I did and the results were profound. I credit Hypnobirthing for helping me become the powerful birthing woman that I never knew was always in me, and for setting me up for the awesomely chaotic journey of motherhood.

Practice Name: Full Circle Yoga and Hypnobirthing

Location of Service: Brighton (QLD)

Hi, I’m Amy and I’m all about women having joyful pregnancies, births and beyond!

As soon as I found out I was pregnant with my second child the fear of labour descended on me. I would describe the birth of my first child as traumatic and not an experience I was keen to repeat. I began to search for a more gentle, empowered way to give birth and came across the Hypnobirthing Australia Positive Birth Program. I went on to have a beautiful birth with my second child, and recently added number three to the clan using Hypnobirthing Australia techniques.

I am also a qualified yoga teacher specialising in pregnant and post-natal women. I have extensive knowledge of the physiology of the pregnant body and will work with you to create a healthy body and mindset for your pregnancy, labour and your journey into parenthood.

My goal is to empower women and their support persons to make educated decisions that serve them, their babies and their vision of a positive birth. It’s not about having a textbook perfect birth, it’s about having YOUR version of a positive birth.  

I offer small group classes on the Northside of Brisbane, where you can meet and connect with others who are on the same journey as you. I also offer private classes by appointment.
