Today was my son's first day of kinder and it was an amazing morning!
However, once I told people about what I do (HypnoBirthing educator and doula) almost every single one suggested they wished they knew about this before they gave birth!
We often talk about how we spending months and huge amounts of money on our weddings, but for some reason becoming educated in birth doesn't seem to be a priority.
I beg everyone... please at least come to the free info session and learn what birth can look like ❤️

Free information session about the HypnoBirthing course that starts first week of Feb. Give me a call to find out more. Bookings for both events are essential. 0451586016

What a fantastic image which so beautifully shows you the cocoon...the protection layer 💓 looking forward to getting back to going to births myself!

Today is International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. It’s a big day to hold in our hearts and minds. We are thinking of every one who has grieved the loss of their baby no matter at which stage in the process. I open my heart to you and would be honoured if anyone would like to share their story xoxo.

One of my proudest moments. My son, Edmund almost 3 years old, picks up his baby monitor and says I'm getting a call ....' hello, how many pregnant weeks are you?' 💓😍

After yesterday’s post I felt like I needed to show you what the beauty of birth can truly be. My favourite part of the HypnoBirthing course has always been showing the birth videos. Even as a doula and seeing births regularly it gets me every time! The absolute magic that it is. This video by the amazing Birth Becomes You put together by so many talented birth videographers shows you the empowering moments of realisation that you can do this! That you have got this! That you are amazing and are strong enough to do this!

A beautiful documentary going into amazing details explaining that now more than ever it is vital the pregnant women take control of their pregnancies. How to do that? Through education and learning how to empower yourself. My favourite quote from this film is ‘I am looking forward to experiencing birth in peace’. What a concept….to birth in peace.

“The 3 C’s of life:
Choices, Chances, Changes
You must take the choice, to take a chance, if you want anything in life to change” Zig Ziglar
Birth doesn’t have to be another horror story…make the Choice to advocate for a calm and beautiful birth, take the Chance by getting education and advice to help guide you, and this will significantly Change your whole life!

“I won’t let them break me down to dust, I know that there’s a place for us…for we are glorious!
THIS IS ME!!”
I remember sitting in the carpark outside the hospital screaming/crying this song at the top of my lungs looking down at the scan photo. Holding my belly, telling my 32 week unborn son that THIS IS ME! I WILL advocate for you….I will ensure your entrance into this world is as beautiful as I know it can be! I had been pressured throughout my whole pregnancy, and after completing the HypnoBirthing course I came to realise that I am strong, that I was literally made to do this, and that a woman CAN find her most beautiful, most POWERFUL self during this journey of pregnancy and birth. Through education and truly trusting myself, my body, and my baby I breathed my baby into this world with my amazing husband by my side telling me I was strong, I CAN do this. Facebook shared this memory to me, and it brought tears to my eyes.
If you are wanting to calm, positive, beautiful birth please don’t wait. Realise it is possible and with some guidance you can do this!

A friend of mine birthed this morning and I was SO in awe of her! I'd been talking with her a lot over the last couple of days, giving hints and tips, but this being her second HypnoBirthing baby she knew what she was doing! I just wanted to share this little bit of light and happiness.

She texted me saying: An INCREDIBLE BIRTH ... I'm ready to do it again !!!! ... yup!! I said it!!! We are so in love ♡♡♡♡

I mean what a fantastic morning message to get... Sending love to all those mum's in the midst of it 💓

I love hearing HypnoBirthing birth stories!
I consider myself truly lucky. I am in a job I love! I get to take pregnant women, and their partners, on a journey. I get to show them a different way of viewing birth. Of seeing that it doesn’t have to be like in the films, or like your friends, or mums or any other birth story. I get to show women not to fear what you are literally made to do. I get to empower women through education and give them the confidence to trust in their own instincts.
This birth story is so beautiful. After a traumatic first birth, ending in everything under the sun. Isa came to me with an open mind and hopeful heart. I was lucky to be an online doula and to watch her taking control of her body, using her breath in such a beautiful way and having the confidence to allow her body to do what she knew it was capable of doing. Upon seeing her baby boy, I burst into tears with pride! She had breathed her baby into this world with no pain, no fear, no tearing, just beauty and love. My favourite quote from her birth story:
‘Did it hurt? Hell NO! NO, IT DIDN'T HURT! I felt every millimetre of my baby dancing his way out.’
What an amazing experience to have had! So inspired by this birth literally the next day she was asking me how to become a HypnoBirthing educator :) such love! Thank you Isa for sharing this.

HypnoBirthing is as much a philosophy as it is a technique!
– When a mother is properly prepared for birthing physically, mentally and spiritually, she can experience birthing her baby in an easier, more comfortable and sometime even pain free manner.
– Through a well-thought-out program of deep relaxation, self-hypnosis and education, HB returns to a woman, the art of birthing in a way that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts.

I love hearing from my families after their births...in particular from mums who birthed their second babies. Just had these two comments from second time mums:

'I even delivered her myself!'

'The hypnobirthing was just so great to redirect my thinking and get me breathing correctly, plus the light touch massage! I didn't even swear lol'

You always have choices mama's...learn about your options.

At about 4 weeks your baby can officially be called an embryo. Your baby is the size of a poppy seed. And already, despite its size, it consumes you. The love you already have for this little seed can only grow from here...💓💓

People often ask me what is a good book to read? My reading choices often, and shamefully, full under the no thought headline switching off type books. However, since becoming a parent I cannot remember the last time I sat and read a book. So next best thing has been audio books!
But instead of listening to switch off stories I have instead been focusing on parenting books. By far the best book I think I have ever read/listened to has been ‘No Bad Kids’ but Janet Lansbury. It has CHANGED MY PARENTING LIFE! It reshaped the way I viewed my son and helped me understand the difference between parenting and respectful parenting. I dove into this book hook line and sinker and often find myself revisiting a chapter here or there.
Her free blog Unruffled is equally as inspiring. If you get a free moment and want to listen to a mother and child educator I highly recommend it.

A doula is like having your best friend, sister, mother along for the ride without all the extra baggage.
A woman experienced in childbirth who provides advice, information, emotional support and physical comfort to a mother and partner, before, during and after the birth. She is loving, respectful, listening, embracing, advocating for, and assisting throughout the whole process to the best of her ability.

Whenever someone asks me what I do I instantly jump into it…birth this birth that. I LOVE IT! During the week I work with my husband as an arborist and even on site with a whole bunch of young mates I’m telling them about birth :)

Beyond amazing! Thinking of all those beautiful woman about to become mumma's...I wish you peace and love. Xo

Where was I: at home
What was I doing: Stepping over my dog to get up to p*e for the hundredth time that night...

Life is unpredictable, why should bringing a baby into this world be any different?

Making the big move to Queenstown, New Zealand next week where I hope to help loads of beautiful families bring their babies into this world.

💓 anyone looking to completing a hypnobirthing course. Next course starts mid April. Contact for more details.

Merry Christmas to all...I hope your Christmas was filled with love and hope.
Are you expecting in 2021, and want to learn how to have a calm beautiful birth? I would love to support you and guide you through a hypnobirthing course! Also now providing birth doula support and guidance.

Just breathe....🎶 Just breathe 💞

"The most important birthing skill to master is breathing."

Breathing is an involuntary, instinctual function that we can learn to control. If you can learn to breathe, you can learn to relax, to open, and to slow your heart rate. If you can learn to breathe you can learn to enhance the release of your endorphins and birth hormones. If you can harness the power of your breathing instincts, you can harness the power of your birthing instincts. ✨
