When I first discovered the Hypnobirthing Australia™ philosophy, something clicked — it spoke to a deep part of me that had always believed birth could be calm, instinctive, and powerful. I knew then that this was the path I wanted to take. And when the time came and I fell pregnant, the Positive Birth Program™ shaped the way I prepared for birth — not just physically, but emotionally and energetically — and led to a peaceful and transformative home water birth that I will treasure forever.
Bringing my daughter into the world in this way moved me and awakened something profound within me — with that awakening came an undeniable calling to share this wisdom with others. I became a certified Hypnobirthing Australia™ practitioner and doula so I could hold space for women to come home to their inner power, dissolve fear, and reclaim birth as the sacred rite of passage it truly is.
I teach the Positive Birth Program™ which helps women be ready for whatever turn their birth may or may not take. As a Hypnomum myself, I have experienced its magic first-hand! Because while there are certain things that are outside of our control when giving birth - and we must learn to surrender and trust - there are also many ways in which we can contribute to the outcome. I invite women to tap into their own wisdom and envision a birth experience where fear gives way to trust.
