And I want to help you create a beautiful birth.
A birth that makes you feel proud, a birth that you will look back on with joy – and a birth that starts your motherhood journey in the best possible way.
Until I became pregnant with my first child, I had no idea that childbirth could be beautiful. Like most people, I’d assumed it would be a scary, painful affair requiring medical intervention and vast quantities of drugs!
Thanks to a friend, I was introduced to Hypnobirthing and it transformed everything: my pregnancy, my birth, my experience of motherhood… and the entire next chapter of my life.
Since then I’ve been on a fascinating journey to discover the truth about what really happens during labour, why it scares us so much and what we, as women, can do to reclaim our intuitive birthing power.
It’s not enough to ‘hope for the best’ or ‘see what happens on the day.’
A third of women emerge from labour feeling traumatised.
And usually, this isn’t because of the physical pain. It’s from experiencing confusion, fear and disempowerment at a time when deep down, they know they should be feeling at their most powerful. We can change that.
My mission is to create a world where women enter motherhood feeling safe, courageous, connected to their incredible feminine power.
Childbirth needn’t be traumatic. In fact it can be one of the most profound, positive and empowering moments of our lives.
It just takes the right education, a support person you can trust, and a bit of practice.
That’s why I created BirthStrong
I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have learnt from some of the world’s most pioneering and accomplished teachers in the field of childbirth education.
“Stacey is amazing!
My partner was initially sceptical but by the end he was feeling totally excited and prepared.
The techniques Stacey shared have given us lots of confidence. We’re calm and positive as we wait for the big day ahead.”

My inspiration…
My greatest teachers are my own little boys, Byron and Finn, who first led me down this incredible path.
And of course, the amazing women I work with every day, who have proved to me beyond doubt that….
there’s nothing stronger, or more beautiful than a woman giving birth to new life.
How many hours have you spent thinking about names, planning the nursery, choosing your pram?
About how you will navigate the decisions (and pressure) from an increasingly medicalised and coercive maternity system.
And that’s my role: To educate you. To answer the questions you hadn’t known to ask and to lead you into motherhood feeling safe, supported and courageous.
