Birth Story of Matilda June

My husband Adam and I did Shari’s course just before I entered my third trimester.  After our first session, we already felt so positive about the birthing process. As a Naturopath, I understood how our frame of mind can so profoundly affect...

With my first child, Grace, I knew it was important to have a calm natural birth 

so I took a Hypnobirthing course. It was excellent and I can honestly say I had no 

pain with labour and it was very calm and relaxed…until, I was put on the clock 

by the hospital and along...

When we give up our power and hand it over to the Professionals we loose control of what can happen to our birth and us as a birth mother. It's really like playing Russian roulette and who knows what could happen.

Choosing the right caregiver should be on the...

Everyone's birth is unique, different and personal to the person giving birth and that is what makes it so amazing.... There is no right or wrong way to give birth and there is no right or wrong way to Hypnobirth! What matters most is that you feel like you did the bes...

I can honestly say that during my birth with my daughter Taleah that I never registered the thought of pain!

So many women comment and talk about the pain that is experienced during birth and I am sure and don't doubt that their experience was true for them but when I...

Admittedly when I found out I was pregnant I was so fear stricken I didn’t even like discussing the topic of birthing as it made me feel instantly sick. All the horror stories and negative ideologies that typically were associated with birth were all that I knew. After...

I have had a few comments made lately that the course I offer is too expensive..

Well of course I have to beg to differ.

I guess for me personally I knew I needed help and some guidance when it came to preparing for my birth as I really knew nothing about birth.

When...

So many of us spend so much time preparing thing for once our baby has arrived...purchasing the nursery furniture, the pram, the clothes and toys but I have noticed that many of us have forgotten about the importance of preparing for our birth and knowing what our opti...

I believe that understanding our options and communicating our preferences before birth meant we were much more calm and confident than we would have otherwise been. We learned so much useful information through Shari’s course, such as the benefits of delayed cord clam...

Before I was pregnant I had always said that no matter what I wanted to have the most natural,

positive and calm birth possible. When I was around 13 weeks pregnant I was very happy when I come across Shari’s Belly 2 Birth Facebook page advertising local hypnobirthing c...

20 March 2015 - Our "Guess" Date. I was ready to turn my phone off to avoid messages and phone calls checking in to see if anything was happening.  But laying in bed in the early hours of that morning I woke with light tightenings.  As with any "warm ups" that I had ha...

Hypnobirthing was not known to me when I had my first child back in 2011 so when I heard of it through my friend Shari who was the hypnobirthing practitioner here in Gladstone I just knew I wanted to give it a go.

Shari's own birth video inspired me even more and I high...
