More Frequently Asked Questions
When’s the best time to complete the course?
What if I've left it too late?
The optimal time to complete the course is between 20-30 weeks so as to give yourself enough time to practice the techniques you have learnt. However, it’s also never too late to start preparing for your birth. You’ll find many benefits, no matter how soon your baby may be arriving.
By regularly practising the course content, you’ll be able to release any fears you may have and condition yourself to achieve a deep relaxation to help you achieve a positive, empowering birth.
Where and when are your classes?
I hold group classes in Cockburn and Guildford, or private classes in the comfort of your own home. View my group class schedule here.

Should my partner attend classes with me?
YES! Your birth partner will play an important role in your birth. The Hypnobirthing Australia™ course will give BOTH of you tools to use. Your birth partner will feel confident and empowered.
My Partner works FIFO and we can't attend your scheduled classes. Can you still help?
Sure. Being a FIFO Wife myself, I understand it can be tricky to organise dates when your partner’s home on break. Email me to chat about alternatives.
Do I still need to attend my hospital antenatal classes?
That’s completely up to you. Our course is much more comprehensive than a standard antenatal class. Most hospital run classes include hospital policies, possible interventions available, and analgesia pain relief. While we do touch on these subjects, we talk more about pregnancy, labour and the birth process. How your fears and stresses can have a negative impact on labour and how we can make birth a positive, empowering and exciting event.
When I was pregnant with my first child, I only did independent childbirth education and didn't feel the need for hospital antenatal classes after that. I did, however, attend a free maternity tour at my hospital which I found highly valuable to visualise my birth space.
