I was able to achieve the natural birth I dreamed of!

I was able to achieve the natural birth I dreamed of with the support of a Hypnobirthing Australia course I attended that was run by Lisa Simpson.

Baby Arlo arrived into the world on the 4th of April, 10 days after his “guess date”.

Lisa was such an amazing support leading up to the birth, particularly as my expected due date came and went and I started getting nervous about having an induction. Lisa supported me to regain my confidence and an open mind regardless of how my baby decided to make an appearance.

In the end, my labour started naturally. Everything went exactly as I’d hoped. After a 15-hour labour baby, Arlo was born with the support of my husband, a couple of amazing midwives, hypnobirthing and a little gas and air during transition!

It was an intense experience but hypnobirthing allowed me to feel in control throughout. The hospital staff constantly commented on how calm I appeared.

My husband was very prepared because of the knowledge and tools he had learnt during the course and it allowed us to work together so well during the labour. His support was a major factor for me in achieving the birth I wanted.

I’d recommend hypnobirthing to any expectant woman and their birth partners!

Thank you,
