Testimonials

  • We would like to say a massive thank you to Maxii for helping us feel prepared to bring our second child into the world.

    My first birth was okay, but I was unaware of all my options and carried with me a lot of regrets in my decision to have an epidural which caused some complications. This made the beginning of my parenting journey very difficult and stressful.

    Birthing my second child after Maxii's classes was a very different experience – a positive experience.

    My labour was more manageable because I had tools and techniques I could use.

    No one knew except me that my daughter was crowning. I was up and walking within 10 minutes of giving birth. I was so lucky to know all my choices, so if things didn't go as planned I knew I had options and felt empowered to request them.

    Clive & Cindy
  • From the moment we stepped into your learning environment, we were at ease. Your thoughtful touches, delicious treats, and the comfortable spaces made for a wonderfully unique birth course experience.

    We left the course feeling empowered and full of conversation on the drive home, ready to prepare for the birth of our second baby.

    You have a natural ability to teach, and your passion for all things birth shines through when you deliver the course resources in such an engaging way.

    Thank you for being so flexible and allowing us to take the second day of the course privately.

    We are so grateful that you have brought this course to the area, which will provide easier access to birth education for so many rural women.

    Thank you again, Maxine - you're fabulous!

    Lauren
  • I just want to say today was awesome and you did really well! I spent an hour on the phone to my mum this afternoon telling her all about it.

    So thank you so much again for today, we both learnt a lot and are looking forward to the next session!

    I have just logged into to look at all the resources and I will continue to complete activities suggested for the next units in the next 2 weeks.

    Bree
  • Over the past two days I was privileged to be invited by my beautiful Doula client to join her & her husband in a Hypnobirthing class. Maxii's class was very informative & engaging, for both mum's and partners, and even Doula's.

    If you are expecting and are looking for that extra support and knowledge of Hypnobirthing during your pregnancy and you want to feel empowered, you should definitely touch base with Maxii @ The Birth Teacher. I have no doubt you will love the class.

    Tania
  • I would highly recommend hypnobirthing classes. I believe that mindset can influence a lot when it comes to birth. These classes can help you and your partner get into a positive mindset for a calm, confident, natural birth.

    They provide a varienty of tools to assist the birthing process and navigate the birth system. All presented in a friendly, professional and honest way. No judgement here take or leave what you need.

FAQs

What is Hypnobirthing?

Hypnobirthing is a comprehensive childbirth education method that prepares women and their birthing
partners to experience a positive, calm and gentle birth. During hypnobirthing classes, you will learn effective,
evidence-based techniques in a well-thought-out program of deep relaxation, visualisation, and self-hypnosis.
All of these are designed to assist you to achieve a positive and empowering birth experience.

When should I book in a Hypnobirthing class?

You can begin hypnobirthing at any point during your pregnancy. However, the optimal time is between 20
and 30 weeks of your pregnancy. This gives you plenty of time to practice self-hypnosis, relaxation and other
techniques to experience a calm and positive birth. If you are further along in your pregnancy, there may be a
class or private option for you. Please contact Maxii directly if you would like more information.

Who attends the Hypnobirthing class with me?

It is strongly encouraged that your birth partner/support person attends the classes with you. Your birth
partner can be your partner, mother, sister, doula, friend – whomever you feel will be your best support
throughout your pregnancy and birth. If your partner works away and cannot be with you in person for the
course, please contact Maxii for further class options. However, you are also welcome to come solo if you
prefer.

How is the birth partner involved?

The birth support person can be an integral part of the hypnobirthing experience. He or she practices with the
mother in helping to prepare for deep relaxation. During labour the support person guides the labouring
mother through hypnosis prompts, relaxation techniques, deepening methods, and visualisations, provides
comfort measures, and joins in welcoming the new baby.

Will I be unconscious, or will I remember my birth experience?

Despite misconceptions and misinformation, you are conscious and aware during self-hypnosis. A
Hypnobirthing mother may be deeply relaxed but is also active in the labour process.

Will hypnobirthing be useful to me if I don’t want a vaginal birth or if circumstances necessitate medicalintervention or a caesarean birth?

Absolutely. The tools and techniques you learn in your hypnobirthing classes will help you to learn relaxation
skills that will be useful to both you and your baby, regardless of your birth experience. In the event that
medical intervention of any sort is needed, you will find yourself better able to remain calm and in control.

What is included in the cost?

For all Positive Birth Programs (group or private course options) you will be provided with:
-12 hours of face to face/online education
-The Hypnobirthing AustraliaTM Course Folio
-Access to Online Resources via the website including MP3 tracks and PDF downloads, ‘The Little Book of
Hypnobirthing’ eBook and empowering birth videos.
- Ongoing support from me via email/phone following the conclusion of the course
