What is HypnoBirthing®

HypnoBirthing® is a method and philosophy of birthing that teaches the birthing mother to call upon her body’s own natural relaxant to lessen discomfort during childbirth.  The result is a satisfying, calm and stress-free birth!  Even if medical intervention is necessary.

When you change the way you view birth, the way you birth will change.

My partner and I had our first baby recently and we experienced such an amazing journey through HypnoBirthing. Being a first-time mum can be a very scary and overwhelming feeling to a lot of women and the thought of birth can give most women anxiety. Through HypnoBirthing with Julie, I was able to look at the pregnancy journey without fear and get rid of any anxieties I had about the delivery. Julie went above and beyond for us not only through teaching us everything we needed to know before the birth, but actually during the birth as well. She came to the hospital when I was giving birth and stayed with us for 12 plus hours helping me until our beautiful boy was born. Before Julie arrived at the hospital I was in a whole different state of mind and was very close to asking for the epidural. As soon as Julie came in she started getting me into a hypnotic state through her visualisations, light touch, massage and calm breathing and I was able to deliver my son naturally like we had planned. She was by far the best thing we invested in for the whole pregnancy journey and I could not recommend her more.

After deciding to do a HypnoBirthing course we are so pleased to have chosen Julie to take us on this journey. She was patient, kind and very knowledgeable. We felt comfortable and enjoyed the experience from start to finish.
A few of our friends had chosen to do the course with her, before us, and their overwhelming positive reviews helped us make the decision to proceed. 
After completing the course, Julie’s aftercare was so helpful that we decided to have her join us with additional assistance throughout the birth of our son. Once again, she was exactly what we needed. As the pressures of labour increased the HypnoBirthing methods worked incredibly well and I even managed to sneak a few snoozes mid labour!
After a 28hr early labour, followed by a super fast active labour of only 2 short hours our son was born naturally with no medical intervention or pain relief. An achievement I am extremely proud of and thank Julie and HypnoBirthing for. Our son was healthy and calm, with no troubles breastfeeding straight away! I recommend Julie and her course to everyone!
