Why birth education is what you need

Birth doesn’t have to be scary — it can be amazing, empowering, and positive.

Maxii from The Birth Teacher is on a mission to help women and birth partners let go of fear and embrace birth with confidence. Through The Positive Birth Program by Hypnobirthing Australia™, you’ll learn how to work with your body, not against it — using breathwork, relaxation, mindset, and evidence-based education to feel prepared no matter how your birth unfolds.

You wouldn’t buy a car without research or choose a car seat without checking reviews — so why not invest the same energy into preparing for birth?

So, what is Hypnobirthing?

It’s simply birth education — without the fear. You'll gain practical tools like breathing, massage, movement, vocalisation, visualisation, and deep relaxation, helping you and your partner feel calm, informed, and in control.

When you prepare your mind and body, you don’t just birth with power — you start your parenting journey from a place of peace and confidence.

Are you ready to empower your birth and beyond?

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.

-12 hours of face to face/online education
