A transformative live 12-hour hypnobirthing course

In Kingscliff & Online

Hypnobirthing is one of the most empowering things you can do during pregnancy. And it’s the best way to prepare for a positive birth - whatever that looks like to you.

What other women are saying:

“I cannot recommend this course enough. Stacey was full of knowledge, stories, facts and stats and she delivered the course in an engaging, caring and relatable way. She made us all feel like our journeys were so important, and you could tell she genuinely cared for each of our births."

I don’t mean have you decorated the nursery, or chosen your stroller or attended a hospital antenatal class.

 

 

I mean, are you really ready?

 

 

Do you understand the enormity of what’s about to happen to your body – and to your life?

 

Have you thought about how you want to feel as your baby comes into the world? 

 

About how you want your baby to feel?

 

Do you have a strategy for making decisions, managing pain and navigating pressure from an increasingly medicalised birthing system?

 

One in three women experience birth trauma

 

Often because they were unprepared for the challenges they faced in labour.

 

But it doesn’t need to be that way

Because mama, you’re not powerless.  

 

You’re strong. 

 

 

And you can have so much influence over your experience of birth. 

 

If you take time to consciously prepare.

I’m Stacey 

Your birth coach and fellow hypnobirthing mum 💛

 

I’ve always been fascinated by the mind-body connection but until I became pregnant with my first child eleven years ago, 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!

 

Since then I’ve been on a fascinating journey to discover the truth about childbirth, why it scares us so much and what we can do to reclaim our intuitive birthing power.

 

I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have learnt from some of the world’s most accomplished teachers of childbirth education and feminine embodiment. And over the last decade I’ve helped hundreds of couples meet their babies feel safe, supported and strong.

 

I truly believe that giving can be one of the most positive, empowering and inspiring moments of your lives. It just takes the right education, a teacher you can trust and a bit of practice – all of which I aim to provide in my classes.

 

From my own experience, I know that Hypnobirthing works. Let me show you how 🙂

Unit 1: Your Birthing Mindset

Unit 1: Your Birthing Mindset

Did you know that your brain already knows how to give birth?  The problem is that most people are stuck in the ‘thinking’ part of their brain and don’t know how to access this amazing instinct.  

 

You can’t think your way through birth. That usually leads to panic, pain and physical shutdown.  But when you know how to optimise your mind – you can transform your fears into pure power.

 

 

Learn:

 

  • How your mindset affects your physiology 
  • The 4 surprising things that derail births (and how to avoid them)
  • How to use self hypnosis to release fear, tension and pain
  • Why every woman needs a birth vision (and how to create one)
  • How to release natural painkillers that are 40x stronger than morphine

Unit 2: Your Toolkit for Birth

Giving birth is one of life’s greatest mysteries and it’s impossible to predict exactly what will happen. When we’re used to controlling what happens in our lives, this uncertainty can be terrifying. 

It’s true that we can’t create an exact ‘plan’ – but we can ensure we have the skills and tools to help us no matter what turn our birth takes.  

 

Your birthing toolkit means you and your birth partner will never feel lost or stuck for ideas about what to do next.

 

Examples of what’s inside your birthing toolkit:

 

  • Powerful breathing exercises for every stage of labour
  • Hypnosis, deep-relaxation and visualisation for birth
  • Acupressure for cervical ripening, pain relief and insomnia
  • Practical ways you birth partner can support you – e.g massage, grounding techniques, prompts
  • How to set up the hospital/birth centre/homebirth

Unit 3: Preparation & Choices for Empowered Birthing

Unit 3: Preparation & Choices for Empowered Birthing

Why is it that so many strong, successful women suddenly give away their power when they walk into a maternity hospital?  Birth trauma is rife (1 in 3 women) and this usually isn’t because of the pain – it’s because these women felt overwhelmed, confused, coerced and at times, violated.

 

This unit is SO important and is the one that most couples rave about because it gives them the confidence to speak up, ask questions and reclaim their power during childbirth.

 

What you’ll learn:

 

  • How to navigate the medical system with confidence
  • A framework to ask questions and make safe, empowered decisions
  • What the research says about common birth interventions (inductions, c sections, episiotomy, epidurals etc.)
  • Natural induction methods
  • How to optimise baby’s position for smooth, straightforward birth



Unit 4: Get Ready for Birth

A positive birth doesn’t start during labour. It starts during pregnancy with psychological preparation, a deep understanding of what to expect and consistent practice of techniques and coping strategies.

This unit brings everything you’ve learnt together so that there’s no surprises and you’re ready and raring to go.

 

You’ll learn about:

 

  • How to know when labour starts (when to call the hospital)
  • Optimal birth positions to avoid vaginal tearing 
  • What to do in the event of a C-section
  • Cord cutting, placentas and the importance of postpartum care

Unit 4: Get Ready for Birth

My promise to you.

I’ve led hundreds of women on their childbirth journey - and I know for certain that Hypnobirthing works.

If you give 100% to this program, embrace the techniques and practice daily, it will transform your experience of pregnancy and birth.

You’ll no longer feel scared. You won’t be overwhelmed by everyone’s opinions, and you’ll feel super confident in the decisions you make for you and your baby.

And perhaps most importantly, you’ll have discovered a power within you that you can use throughout motherhood.
