Hypnobirthing Australia (TM)

Positive Birth Program

Feel empowered and prepared for your labour & birth

Program Overview

The Hypnobirthing AustraliaTM  Positive Birth Program is Australia’s most popular childbirth education program. 

This Positive Birth Program is more than just leaning relaxation techniques (although this is a powerful tool in your toolkit!). The Positive Birth Program is a highly comprehensive, evidence-based antenatal class that  focuses on building a toolkit for labour and birth, knowledge for the mother and birth partner, and preparation for the mind and body. The program is designed for birthing couples, or the birthing parent and their birth partner. 

You will leave this class feeling confident, excited, fully informed and empowered; knowing that you will be prepared for whatever turn your birthing takes. A positive birth is one where you feel you are in the driver’s seat and that you and baby will have the best birth possible in the circumstances you have- regardless of how your baby comes into the world.

What do we cover?

• Mind/body connection and preparation

• Breathing techniques

• Use of touch and acupressure

• Self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques

• Movement and positioning

• Importance of the birthing environment

Meet the Facilitators

Our programs are facilitated by a carefully selected team of psychologists and allied health professionals who bring both clinical expertise and genuine warmth to every session. Each facilitator has been chosen for their specialist experience in the areas they teach whether that's perinatal mental health, relationship dynamics, anxiety, or nervous system regulation and shares our belief that effective therapy should feel safe, human, and grounded in real life. You won't find a one-size-fits-all approach here. What you will find is a room full of people who truly get it.
