Feedback from parents about hypno-birthing
"Partners say hypnobirthing classes gave them the confidence to step in and be an active support for the birthing mother."
"While the hospital classes provided a very basic and clinical outline of birth, hypnobirthing provided more depth and unbiased explanation of interventions."
"Mothers who have chosen my "hybrid" option (half online at 20 weeks, half in person at 32 weeks) report they loved the fact that the tools helped them ignore negativity."

Hypnobirthing Feedback
"After a traumatic first birth, Kate's hypnobirthing gave us the knowledge to make informed decisions. I had the confidence to have open dialogue with my care providers. My second delivery was amazing – I highly recommend this course. It's far more informative than hospital antenatal classes."
— Melissa Bywater
Hypnobirthing Adelaide FAQs
Will Hypnobirthing support me if I'm planning a VBAC or c-section?
Absolutely! Hypnobirthing is beneficial for mums who have special circumstances. Many obstetricians and midwives are now requesting mums take a Hypnobirthing course or similar before VBAC. We have special tracks and an alternative program designed for caesarean birth.
Is Hypnobirthing only for parents who want a drug free birth?
No. Hypnobirthing is about giving you a positive birth experience. You are given the information and the tools to uncover what options lead you to YOUR personal best birth outcomes.
How is the birth partner involved?
The birth partner is an integral part of the Hypnobirthing experience. He or she practices with the mother in helping prepare for deep relaxation. During labour the partner 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 remember my birth?
Despite misconceptions and misinformation, you are definitely not unconscious during self-hypnosis. The Hypnobirthing mother is deeply relaxed but is also an active participant in the labour process. She is completely aware and may return to a conversant state or choose to become mobile whenever she desires. Hypnobirthing mothers often find that they experience time distortion and are not distracted by other people or their environment while they focus on their birthing and baby.
Can I join the classes virtually?
Yes absolutely! I have been providing this option to regional clients for years, and it's something you might like to consider even if you live in Adelaide. You can tune into your live class via Zoom from the comfort of your own home, OR purchase a pre-recorded webinar which includes 6 hours of online content plus a private 1.5 hour Zoom session with me.
When should I start my classes?
You can begin Hypnobirthing any time, but we recommend starting between 20 and 30 weeks. This will give you time to practice the self-hypnosis relaxation and other effective techniques for gentle birthing – while also ensuring the course is fresh in your mind. If you are outside that range, please don't worry. You can still attend the classes and achieve a beautiful calm birth. Please ask me about options if you are further along in your pregnancy.
Will this remove pain completely?
No course guarantees outcomes, but reducing fear often improves the overall birth experience.
Ready to Experience a Positive Birth?
Whether you choose group classes, online learning, or private sessions, Kate will guide you towards a calm, confident birth experience.
