Program overview

This is the Hypnobirthing Australia™ Positive Birth Program. 12 hours of face-to-face learning with your birth partner, spread across two Sundays, so you have time to absorb, practise, and ask questions along the way.

Together, we’ll cover everything you need across four key areas:

Knowledge: how birth works, what to expect, and how to navigate any twists and turns
Tools: breathing, movement, massage, acupressure and visualisation techniques you can use in labour
Support: how your birth partner can step in and be your biggest advocate
Preparation: build confidence, release fears, and get your mind and body ready for birth

By the end, you’ll both walk in feeling calm, capable, and ready for whatever your birth looks like.
