Positive Caesarean Birth for My Second Baby – with Hypnobubs! My first baby was born 5 weeks early by emergency caesarean.

After watching the introductory video for the Online Hypnobirthing Australia Course – I knew that it was going to be useful. I was fortunate to have a healthy normal pregnancy and the course – especially our visit from Nicole (our wonderful hypnobirthing practitioner) helped to allay the fears I had of child birth based upon the overwhelmingly… Read More
My Calm, Relaxed & Positive Caesarean Birth
We are excited to introduce you to our beautiful little girl Harper. Born via planned c section on the 18th of April.

Rory, born 19 December 2016

Without Hypnobirthing I would not have had this positive experience to share with you all. Our baby had been in breech position since week 33, and I had been doing weekly acupuncture to help me… Read More

Vaginal Seeding for C-Section (Caesarean, Cesarean, Cesarian)
Vaginal Seeding for C-Section: The British Medical Journal recently released an article titled ‘How should health professionals engage with this increasingly popular but unproven practice’ and must admit I shook my head in disbelief when reading the article. I wonder if the authors of this article have considered the fact that babies traditionally DO come out via the vaginal route.

Flynn Elliott, born 20 March, 2015
It took us a little over two years to conceive Flynn and it was quite the journey. When conventional medicine did not work for us we decided to go down the natural health route and conceived Flynn within a matter of months of seeing a naturopath and acupuncturist. It made sense for us to also… Read More

Thank you to you again Melissa for all of your support during this pregnancy and for writing the amazing program for c-sections. It made it such a better experience than I think I would’ve had.
Manaia Saranisa, born 3 December 2014
That week we did moxa, meditated, yoga positions, spoke to her (both gently and sternly!), and spent hours in the pool trying to turn her – even doing handstands!
Ivy Teresia, born 9 June 2014
Even though our beautiful water-hypno- birth “plan” didn’t go to plan (quite the opposite), I can honestly say that doing the Hypnobirthing course with my fiancé Josh helped us tremendously. Being ‘calmly prepared for whatever turn my birthing may take’ and havingthe confidence and knowledge to question certain procedures while staying very relaxed in a… Read More
