Did you know you are quite literally wired to give birth!

Birthing is a primitive reflex. Instinct, in fact.
So I guess you’re wondering why we need to attend birthing classes then?

Unfortunately, there are many internal and external factors which can inhibit our mind and bodies own innate behaviour to birth instinctfully.

The outer part of our brain, the neocortex is responsible for all our high functioning, let’s call it our rational thinking part of the brain.
The primitive or reptilian part of our brain is where our instinctful behaviours happen, like breathing, reproduction and BIRTHING!

So why is this relevant?
When our neocortex is highly stimulated, perhaps an engaging conversation or bright lights it plays off on our primitive part of our brain and makes it harder for those natural birthing instincts to innately happen.

This is why it’s really important to bring your birthing support person(partner/sister/mother) along to classes with you. On your birthing day they will have a flurry of emotional and physical tools and know your birth plan well, so they can act as your neocortex for you… So all you need to do, is breathe and let your mind and body do what it’s built for, birthing your beautiful babe 😜

If you want to learn how to help your brain and body birth with ease, join our group classes now.
Next class, February 11th & 18th, Henley Beach Rd, Fulham.

✨My baby chose me, because I am the perfect choice ✨

Our babies are pretty clever, whichever way they choose to arrive into our arms, they know you are going to be their safe place.

I’m in the thick of motherhood right now, we 3 adorable little humans 5 and under and I know I’m not the “perfect” mum all the time.. who is?!
But, I know I’m more than good enough, even on my worst days.

I want all parents to know, you are good enough!! I promise!
You are the world to that sweet little baby and block out any other noise that makes you think otherwise 😉

How are you feeling about your upcoming birth?

My hope is for every birthing person & their support person to feel positive, supported, safe & empowered in the lead up to and during their birth. I know this isn’t always the case though and many factors come into place. However, with The Positive Birth Program, you can change your approach to brith and learn the recipe for a positive, empowering experience.

Even as a Midwife, I knew I needed more tools & techniques to support me through the sensations of labour. My husband and I took this exact same course as consumers and we know how invaluable this course is.

DM if you’d like to learn more, or hit the link in my bio. I’d love to help you on your positive journey.

🌸 Positive Birth Affirmations 🌸

I got through it before, I can do it again.

Where’s my previous Hypnobirthing clients at?
You’ve all heard me say before, just take it one surge(contraction) at a time. Once that surge is done, you’re one step closer to meeting your baby!

This is also a lovely affirmation for those that are having their second, third and so on babies. I know too well that when you fall pregnant again, you can focus on those tricky times, but I promise you can and you will do it!

For all my previous clients, do you know I offer refresher courses?! It’s such a lovely time to focus on this baby and this birth. To chat about what did and didn’t work last time and to refresh on all those wonderful Hypnobirthing skills!

✨Introducing our beautiful baby, Tully Sol ✨

Can you see him in the middle there, smothered in love by his beautiful sisters? He has been a delightful, well smooched on baby from day 1.

We've been wrapped up in this love bubble for the last 7 months, I can hardly believe how fast it has gone! Although I could almost stay in this wonderful baby stage forever, my heart is yearning to pass on more knowledge and wisdom to more parents.

I'll be back ready to share hypnobirthing with any parents looking for private sessions from June and our first group class commences in July!

Please get in touch asap, as I have limited availability in June and July.

Looking forward to chating soon.

🌸 Positive Birth Affirmations 🌸

My baby will find the perfect position for birth!

We talk a lot about optimal positioning for baby during our class. Ultimately though, your baby knows your pelvis better than we do.
Baby being in a posterior position (back on back) is still a variation of a normal position. There are techniques and approaches you can take to help encourage baby into an anterior position, but have faith that plenty of mother's birth their baby in a posterior position too 🤰

What position did your baby prefer?

Have you been practicing your breathing for labour and birth?

Did you know that nasal breathing actually triggers the parasympathetic part of our nervous system! When the parasympathetic nervous system is activated, it actually produces a calm and relaxed feeling in the mind and body. By learning to trigger your parasympathetic nervous system you can instantly reduce your sense of anxiety and stress. What a powerful tool to have in labour and birth!! And after!

During our classes we discuss three different breathing techniques to support and manage the sensations of labour;
🌸Relaxation breathing (to help reduce anxiety and calm the mind)
🌸Surge breathing (to manage surges “contractions” and help oxygenate the working uterine muscles and send oxygen through to your baby)
🌸Breathing/bearing down (to support the normal physiology of the bearing down/birthing stage of labour)
