In Noelene's words:

Hypnobirthing is one of my great passions and Hypnobirthing Australia™ private classes, group classes are available now if you reside in Whittlesea.  Otherwise if you are outside of this area I can also take you through the program by Skype and with an online program.

I will bring you hypnobirthing from a midwifery perspective.

Four sessions make up the hypnobirthing program. 

So what is Hypnobirthing?

Hypnobirthing is a complete ante natal childbirth education program which promotes and supports pregnancy, labour and birth as a normal healthy natural event in a woman’s life, and is the gold standard in childbirth education.

Hypnobirthing uses deep relaxation, breathing techniques, visualisation and affirmations (auto suggestions) to acheive your calm, beautiful, empowered, natural birth or your positive planned caesarean birth.

This is what you will learn and remember that knowledge is power!
