my labour experience was the most positive, empowered, beautiful experience that went exactly the way that I wanted it to go. 
      
        
          
            Hypnobirthing is not ”woowoo”. It is 100% evidence-based practice and was recommended by my healthcare professionals, colleagues and friends.
I had been terrified of giving birth. I’d only ever heard negative stories and images about birth. I did my research and got educated about birth. I cannot thank Debra, the legendary midwife (@empoweredtobirth), enough for teaching Shane and I how to hypnobirth via the Hypnobirthing Australia course.
When it came to the birth, words cannot describe the RELIEF and EUPHORIA I felt when she came out. It is instant relief, instant satisfaction and an instant euphoric high. Exactly like an orgasm, not sexual but BETTER.

            We had the most amazing and incredible birth experience, even though my ideal labour went out the window. It turned into a 4 day ordeal

            Deb, Thank-You for your course, and for teaching Josh how to be an amazing support person.

      I feel healed;  I feel empowered and I am in awe of my beautiful little baby ~ (Harriet’s Birth)
      
        
          
            I am shocked that my baby is here. It didn’t take long, and it wasn’t anywhere near the pain levels of my previous labour. I sense that I feel healed.  I feel empowered and I am in awe of my beautiful little baby.

            Unexpectedly, the discomfort from the contractions disappeared. I was them able to completely focus on breathing my baby through the birth canal.
