FAQs

HypnoBirthing is for anyone wanting a positive birth. We teach women who are petrified of birth all the way through to women who are excited about birth but want some skills and techniques to use.

It doesn’t matter where you are having your baby – a private hospital with an obstetrician, a public hospital with a midwife or a home birth, HypnoBirthing works anywhere. We are experienced with VBAC’s, multiples and planned c-sections too.

Most birth educators will tell you about their special seal they’ve been given when they certified and what makes their method the best.
We have slightly different advice.

1. Check out the location and frequency of the classes – this has to work for you.
2. Check out the price – you have to be able to afford it.
3. Check out the results of the practitioner. Ours are:
   1. The majority of our couples have a positive birth experience
   2. The c-section rate for our couples is around 14% (general public is 33%)
   3. 100% of our couples feel confident in their ability to have a great birth after our course

HypnoBirthing has been taught at our clinic since 2000, we get great results, pride ourselves on our high level of customer service and are busy enough to run regular courses.

Firstly, it’s awesome that you know that and have been doing your research. There are lots of options out there and it’s a fair amount of money you’ll be spending so you want to make sure you get bang for your buck.
As with any service provider out there, there is going to be a sliding scale with cost and quality. As that scale slides up, the experience and results should match. We value what we teach highly and have the results to prove that it’s one of the best courses in Melbourne. We deliver a premium experience that we are very proud of.
If needed, we offer payment plans to suit any situation and budget.

100% we would recommend that they come. It’s such an amazing opportunity for them to learn 25 pain-relieving techniques to support you through your labour. They get a huge insight into the physical and emotional process of labour. We can guarantee they will be confident and informed after the course. But not all partner’s want to come and not all partner are available. This is not ideal but we can still work with whatever situation you are in. It’s certainly not a reason to miss out on this phenomenal learning experience, just because your partner can’t or doesn’t want to do it.

Our course is 12.5 hours long. We teach this over 5 sessions, each 2.5 hours long. It’s at the longer side of birth education but we have used this tried and tested method over many years and know that it works.

We don’t run long sessions as we believe that this much information needs to be taken in slowly so you can remember it and have time to master the techniques taught before the next session. 

All of our educators use HypnoBirthing techniques in their daily lives. Both Candace and Violet live or work locally and have various birthing and postpartum qualifications. They would all describe themselves as your regular women in the suburbs, simply sharing their huge passion for amazing pregnancies and births.

It’s the name HypnoBirthing right? Sounds weird? We get it! The course content is based in science and backed up by evidence and studies. There are some other elements to the course like visualisations, affirmations and the law of attraction which might seem a little out there to some but it’s all pretty tame. Think of it more as meditation type techniques. And the awesome thing is, if you don’t like any part of the course, you don’t have to practice it because there are so are so many other techniques you are taught so you are bound to find the techniques you need to have a positive birth.
