Hypnobirthing Australia™ is the fastest growing and leading independent childbirth education program in Australia. The Positive Birth Program is high quality, modern and evidence based with the bonus of self-hypnosis, which is really fancy word for self controlled deep relaxation.

You are in complete control of this process, and with the techniques learnt throughout the course, you will be able to move in and out of hypnosis at any time. The secret weapon in achieving your calm and gentle birth is - your mind. 

During a Connected Hypnobirthing workshop you will learn a combination of hypnotherapy, breathing, massage, acupressure and deep relaxation techniques to encourage you to relax and release any fear or anxiety surrounding the birth of your baby.  You will also develop a deeper understanding of how the mind works, and how this understanding can assist you in achieving a calm and positive birthing experience.
