Welcome to the Brisbane Birthing Site - HypnoBirthing and Doula Support
Pregnancy and birth are times for celebration. These are also times of amazing physical, emotional and spiritual transition for women. If you are reading this site and you are pregnant, congratulations! What an amazing adventure you have already begun. Too often, in our culture, this "everyday miracle" of bringing forth new life is met with fear and trepidation. For most of their lives, women have been inundated with the negative stories of other women’s birth experiences. Everyone, from their mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, friends, and even strangers, wants to tell them the horrors of giving birth. Because of this, women today hold an unprecedented fear of giving birth. This is not helpful! Extreme fear causes our bodies to become tense, and that tension often prevents women from easily performing the normal, physiological function of birth. Every week I work with couples on changing this negative conditioning - for themselves and their pre-born children. With a very simple program of relaxation, education, visualisation and fear release, women and their partners learn to trust birth again and embrace the process with excitement and joy instead of fear and trepidation. Take heart - you CAN have a joyous, empowered, calm, comfortable birth. I am constantly amazed at the results of this work and I know you will be too! Together, we are creating a gentler, calmer, more peaceful society:

...one birth at a time.....I look forward to meeting you soon and wish you a very Happy Birthing Day!.
