Hypnobirthing Caesarean Homebirth
The birth of a baby is one of life’s most significant events. There is an expectation that the bringing a baby into the world is one of the happiest moments in a person’s life. Many assuming that birth must have been positive when the result is a healthy mum and baby.

There is no right answer to this question. Because it’s never too late to use this wonderful birth preparation. However, there are so many benefits to having the knowledge early in pregnancy, that as a rule of thumb - earlier is always better.

Are you terrified about labour and birth? If so, you are not alone. It’s so common it even has a name – Tokophobia.

As a midwife I constantly tell my clients it’s always worth asking a professional. Just because your colleague once had an itch and was told not to worry by her GP, or your cousin had bleeding all through her pregnancy and everything was fine, it doesn’t mean you should ignore what’s happening with your body.

Over the 20 years I’ve been helping families have babies, I have seen the pitfalls from inadequate and outdated generic hypnobirthing training, taught by people with little understanding of the potential complexities of birthing. So learning from an experienced birth professional should be your starting point.
by Justine Daly,
It's incredibly normal to feel worried when you are pregnant. For some women this is a new experience as pregnancy brings such an unfamiliar set of circumstances, for many it’s an added stress on top of their existing stresses. For these women pregnancy anxiety can lead to feeling overwhelmed and can become a real problem that negatively impacts every day. If this sounds familiar it’s good to know there is plenty of support available.

Today’s blog post came as a result of a really touching conversation I had recently with one of the mums from my antenatal course. She rang me to tell me about how her birth had gone, and then really generously agreed to write it down to share because she puts it so much better than I ever could.

There are so many things you can both learn on a hypnobirthing course. The tools and techniques that promote relaxation can be used by both parents to be.

I’ll explain why I am so keen for women to have a realistic understanding of just how incredible hypnobirthing can be for you.
by Justine Daly,
There are so many options available to you that the choice can become overwhelming. When this is your first time looking for a course it’s hard to know; what the different approaches are, what will be valuable for you to know, and what will be relevant to your personal circumstances.

In this blog we will explore the benefits of hypnobirthing and antenatal classes, both online and in-person.
by Justine Daly,
Hypnobirthing is an approach that embraces the idea of a calm and gentle birth by combining techniques from hypnotherapy, deep relaxation, visualization, and positive affirmations.

Where do we get our expectations of labour and birth from and are they valid?
I have over 20 years experience as a midwife in the UK and Australia, working in both private and public hospitals. I have helped thousands of women in every scenario, from homebirths and water-births, births with complex issues, intervention, and caesarean births.
I am passionate about supporting women and families to be as relaxed and confident as they can be, whatever the circumstances. I have spent 20 years working in the Birth Centre and for the past few years have been an educator as part of the Child Birth Education Team. This means I am up to date with current research, policies and procedures when it comes to all things birth related.
In addition, I am a government accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist, with an Honours degree in Psychology. In my private practice I specialise in treating anxiety, trauma, fertility issues, pain management and phobias, as well as hypnobirthing techniques.
Bringing together these sets of skills, knowledge, and experience I can guide and prepare you to have the positive birth experience that you desire.
Next live course in Williamstown Melbourne starts Saturday Nov 23
