about me
Hi, my name is Bridie
I am a Mother, Registered Midwife and Certified Hypnobirthing Australia Childbirth Educator, living on Wurundjeri land, Melbourne. I am passionate about providing birthing people with the tools and education they need to have an empowering birth experience!
Why Hypnobirthing?
I know that birth can and should be the greatest thing you ever do in your life. However, unfortunately there are many aspects of modern life that has caused more anxiety, disconnect and fear amongst us. I have met many pregnant people that do not trust their innate ability to give birth. Why is that?
As quoted by Dr. Bob Moorehead,
‘We have more experts, but more problems
More medicines, but less healthiness’
Giving birth should be empowering and amazing. I want to help families understand that birth doesn’t have to be something you are fearful of. I can help prepare you to have a positive experience and learn how to trust your body and your power. I believe in birthing people - and I believe that appropriate childbirth education is the gateway to achieving a positive birth experience. It is your right to feel safe, valued, and get the information and education you need, so that you can make informed choices about you and your baby.
I teach this course because I know it’s truly the most extensive, inclusive, evidence based education there is. And it works!
Currently I am based in Hurstbridge, 3099 where I offer private and group Hypnobirthing classes
