Program overview

This is the Hypnobirthing Australia™ positive birth program. 12 hours of live, interactive learning with your birth partner, spread across four weekly Wednesday evenings 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.
