While you can attend classes at any point in your pregnancy, it is recommended to start Hypnobirthing between 20 and 32 weeks to ensure enough time to practice the techniques of the program, while keeping the information fresh in mind. If you are further along in your pregnancy do not worry – many women including myself have learnt hypnobirthing only a few weeks before the birth and have had great success with the techniques.

Please Note

If you are getting close to your anticipated day of birth, please contact Caitie as there is also an intensive course available.

*This is not an alternative to the full course. It is a short version, that is only run under extenuating circumstances.

What is so different about Hypnobirthing Australia™ as a childbirth education is that it provides both mum and the birthing partner with information and tools. In fact, there is an emphasis on creating a birthing partnership so that mum and the birthing partner achieve a birth experience where you both feel calm and empowered. This made the world of difference for my birth partner’s experience of our daughter’s birth because he knew what to do and how to help. He felt he was an essential part of our birth experience and even ensured that those around me maintained the calm environment we desired. Your birth partner can be anyone who you feel will support you the best throughout your birth experience, whether it be your partner, mother, a doula or you maybe going solo and that is absolutely okay as well.
