“TO EVERYONE EXPECTING A BABY”
Kate is the greatest teacher! I went to her classes not knowing exactly what it was all about, but that quickly changed! Kate is so informative and helpful. Preparing for my first child was a scary thought until I learnt from Kate that pain is conditioned into our thoughts of childbirth, but it never used to be this way. Her classes changed my whole view of my pregnancy and preparing for the day I met my little boy. Just by learning and using the techniques Kate taught my Partner and I eg. light touch and breathing techniques, helped more than I ever imagined!
My very first child came out naturally, no pain relief and completely relaxed during the whole labour and birth! It may be hard to believe but all the tools really worked wonders!”

“I highly recommend the course. Even though the name might conjure up different ideas, it was a practical and informative course. Understanding the science behind what my body will go through during birth, and how physiologically we are designed to have positive birthing experiences has calmed my fears going into the birth of my first baby. The resources provided (print out and included affirmations/relaxation tracks) are beautifully relaxing, informative and empowering. And Kate as the teacher and hypnobirthing practitioner was warm and welcoming. She was completely professional, knowledgeable, fun and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed to be able to ask anything we needed to.”

“In a world where we have unfortunately been conditioned to be a bit terrified of child birth, Kate REALLY helped me to prepare myself for a positive, calm beautiful experience. My husband didn’t feel like he was going to be able to help much during the process but learnt that he has a HUGE role to play in bringing our baby into the world by keeping me in the right head space and using all the tools we learnt throughout the course. Thank you Kate for everything you have taught us and for coming over this week to refresh us so we are ready for our big day!!”

“We were thrilled with our hypnobirthing classes with Kate and it really grew our confidence in feeling well prepared for our birthing day. Most days we practise what we learnt at home and it has really helped to keep me calm, centred and reduced my back pain. It has brought my husband and I closer together as there are many exercises that we can be doing as a couple to ensure this is a great experience no matter what ends up happening. The meditations I do on a daily basis has definitely helped change my mindset for our birthing day and assisted me with getting to sleep. We highly recommend these hypnobirthing classes to anyone who is wanting to have a positive birthing experience and to be well prepared for it.”

“I had heard of hypnobirthing from a friend a few years ago who used the techniques and told me she had an amazing birth. When signing up for the course, all I hoped for was that I would get some techniques that would help me to remain calm and in control during my birth. What I actually got was so much more. I feel prepared to face whatever comes my way, I am not afraid of what is ahead, and crazy enough – I’m actually excited about giving birth!! My husband is an engineer, so is very analytical and at first was a bit sceptical when I told him I had signed us up for the classes but was willing to go along with it for me. But after each class he would comment that it all just made so much sense! The explanations about how our body and mind works, the information about the chemistry and mechanics that you can use to your advantage – each time Kate finished a session he was completely on board with what we had just discussed and often went away to research and find out even more information.

I think the best thing about the classes are that it helps both mum and dad prepare for what’s to come. I feel prepared and in tune with my body, and I’ve regained control of what seemed like an uncontrollable situation so much so that even if everything goes pair-shaped on the day, I know I’ll be in control of my mind and my body still. My husband knows what his role is, and actually feels like a really important part of the birth process. He is confident in how to support me and how to handle different situations when under certain pressures. Most importantly, we’re ready to do this as a team to get the best outcome for us!!”

“We loved our hypnobirthing classes. Kate was incredible at taking us through the tool box and helping us focus on what will work best for us. She was friendly and very approachable. The videos were fantastic at showing us what hypnobirthing could be. The second day of the course and the extra readings were very informative and helped us to make educated decisions about our birth preferences. Knowing that Kate will check-in with us towards the end of our pregnancy and that we can contact her for advice and support is very reassuring.
We are going into this birth with increased confidence and knowledge. Thank you Kate and Positively Hypnobirthing.”

“Wow! Totally blown away by how amazing the Hypnobirthing Australia™ course is and would have to say that Kate played the major part in making it one we are so glad we have done. I must say, I had heard about hypnobirthing when I was pregnant with my first but didn’t really know what it was about. Then I found out early on that bub was breech, so didn’t look into it, thinking it was only applicable to natural births – oh how I was wrong. I wish I could turn back the clock and have met Kate before I had bub no.1, but I am just so thankful I am now equipped for the arrival of bub no2 in February.

The morning of our first session my husband was moaning and groaning asking me why are we doing this? What is it anyways and do I really have to be here and do I have to be here for all 4 sessions etc. etc. and as the session started Kate immediately with her amazing personality and knowledge had captivated my husbands attention and had him happily participating and taking great interest. After Kate left I asked him- so you happy to do the next 3 sessions? and he was so impressed and was actually excited to learn more and this is credit to Kate.

She is really passionate and knowledgeable about hypnobirthing and birthing and pregnancy in general and we both felt so incredibly comfortable with her, talking about such intimate and personal matters. We can not wait to put what we have learnt into practice come February when we have bub no.2.

Kate thank you so much you have truly changed and educated us on so much we did not know and have given us the gift to achieve a calm, happy birth and tools to deal with anything that may arise in calm rational way.
Cant wait to keep you updated on the arrival of our hypnobub.”

“Dave and I found the classes so interesting and even more informative then we could have imagined.

I really don’t think we would be as excited and relaxed for our upcoming birth and as confident in my body if we didn’t take Kate’s hypnobirthing classes.

Kate made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met and welcomed her into our home. We loved hearing all about her own hypnobirthing experiences. These made us feel like we could connect on a very personal level, and realise that she simply just wants the best birth for everyone.

We have learnt so much, and now strongly believe that having a true understanding of what the body and mind is capable of really is the most powerful tool in being able to control your own birth, or be

at peace with any unforeseen circumstances that can arise.

We can’t wait to bring our little human into the world, in a positive, calm and loving environment, thanks to Kate!”

“This course should be compulsory for all pregnant women! We completed Kate’s course in our second pregnancy and wished we had done it with our first. My partner and I learnt SO much about how to have a natural, positive birth and even better we were given the tools to make it happen! The course brought us so much closer together as a couple and allowed my partner to feel engaged, connected and have a role at our birth. Kate is a natural childbirth educator and we are very grateful that she was recommended to us. As a result of doing the Hypnobirthing Australia™ course we were able to have our own beautiful,  natural, hypno, water birth at home. Our ‘positive’ birth experience will stay with us forever. Thank you Kate!”
