Birth of River ~ Birthing Without
When I found out I was pregnant with River, I knew I had to do some serious quiet thinking. The scars from Juniper’s birth were still very much healing, in both the physical and emotional realms. She and I were a mere nine months in to this journey together, and I was...

Birth of Poppy Dae
It was the most amazing experience and all natural thanks to HypnoBirthing. Poppy was in perfect position 4 days before her birth, but she turned and was spine on spine which is why labour took so long. The HypnoBirthing mentality, breathing and visualizations were...
Calvin ~ He is perfection!
When I reflect back on my labor day it seems so unreal to me. How was it that I accomplished that? I am amazed at the beauty that now lies in my arms. His soft skin, sweet smell and gentle breath fill me with motherly love and pride. He is perfection made real. My...
A story of trust.
I always thought myself to be a type “A” individual…mean, I like to be in control. I like things to be just as I planned and most of all, I like things to be perfect. When I got pregnant, I was sure that I would schedule a C-section and plan out my birth down to the...
Louie ~ Born at Home
6th May, 2014 I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the help that HypnoBirthing gave me during my labour. I used the blue satin ribbons visualisation a lot during the beginning phase. I listened to the rainbow relaxation and birthing affirmations which helped...
Leon ~ Born into water

George ~ Born unexpectedly at home
Firstly I want to say if it wasn’t for Carrie at Joymammma, my birth story would have been very different, even traumatic.In the early hours of August 19, I woke to the sound of a pop. My waters had released. Being 2 weeks before my due date, I looked to my husband,...

I Did It!

A Peaceful and Empowering Birth
On the morning of my 30th birthday, I woke up and I felt a little different. Rigel and I decided to go out for lunch and do a few errands on the way. While Rigel was in the store at our first stop, I noticed some very distinct tightening on my belly. I was 40 weeks...
Birth of Janek ~ Gracious Healing!
Two mornings ago Janek woke up at 4:04am. This was exactly the same time my water broke on July 24th, 2013. The serendipitous timing of his early morning hunger caused me to reflect on the miraculous experience surrounding my pregnancy and his birth. I had plenty of...
William ~ Born at Sunshine Coast Midwifery
I get emotional recalling the birth of my son. I’m one of the (seemingly) few women who can honestly say that the birthing experience was the most empowering, life-affirming and wonderful time of my life. My sister introduced me to HypnoBirthing and encouraged me to...
