Positively Hypnobirthing

Such a great example of how simple movement can make labour easier and more effective.
🎥 by the lovely a fellow Body Ready Method® pro I’ve worked with 🤩

She’s using two powerful tools here: staying upright and adding asymmetry with her foot up on the step.

✅ Upright positions help baby move down with gravity.

✅ And asymmetrical positions create extra space in the mid‑pelvis - the area where babies often need just a little more room to rotate past those bony points in the pelvis.

It’s such a clear reminder that when you understand how the pelvis works, the movements you choose can truly support your body and your baby 🤗

❤️👇
・・・
If there’s one thing that was a game changer for me & I encourage in labour… it’s this:

Stay upright and keep moving in labour.

Research shows that upright and mobile positions during labour can:
• Help labour progress more efficiently
• Support baby moving down
• Improve positioning
• Reduce the likelihood of interventions
• Even shorten labour time

Why?

Because when you’re upright:
✨ Gravity is working with you
✨ The pelvis can open more fully
✨ Contractions can be more effective

My advice ?
Practice movements you want to use in labor DURING your pregnancy so it becomes more intuitive when IN labor.

Think swaying, leaning, kneeling, walking, using your birth ball or birth.

Ever pictured birth like a baby just dropping down… just like a basketball through a hoop? 🏀 It’s actually nothing like that.
Baby doesn’t descend in a straight line - they follow a curve, spiralling and rotating through the pelvis as they make their way earthside.

And the important part ⬇️
Your baby’s ability to navigate that curve depends on the:
- Space
- Balance
- Suppleness of soft tissues around your pelvis

When we spend lots of time sitting, crossing our legs, or holding tension (hello modern life 😅), those tissues can get tight or imbalanced - which can make baby’s journey a little less smooth.

The good news?
You can absolutely support your body to create more space and ease:
✨ Keep your body moving
✨ Release tension where it tends to build
✨ Work on balance so baby has room to rotate
✨ Learn positions that open the pelvis at each level

This is exactly what I teach in my Hypnobirthing Australia™ course, and Body Ready Birth workshop, and private sessions.

If you’d like support to help your baby navigate that curve with more ease, send me a DM and let’s chat or click in my bio 💕

Awesome 🎥 by - so powerful to watch ❤️
She’s so beautifully tuned in to her instincts, surrounded by great support, and those low, instinctual, grunty sounds 👌 vocalising to help the pelvic floor soften and lengthen - she’s literally using her voice to bring her baby down 🙌

Such an incredible example of what unfolds in birth when a woman feels safe, supported, and free to follow her body’s cues ✨

What the movies show isn’t what birth always looks like 🥲

I absolutely love re-living all 3 of my babies births. All three looked very similar to this.

At home. Peaceful. I thoroughly enjoyed them. 🥰

I remember seeing videos like this when I was pregnant with my first baby and it gave me so much hope.

It honestly made me SO excited.

Without ever experiencing birth the first time I just KNEW it could be enjoyable. I knew it could be peaceful.
And I was right.

No, not every birth looks like this. But this has been my experience three times and I want women to know that if they are desiring a peaceful, calm, enjoyable birth it’s totally possible.

I pray this encourages you and gives you hope like it did for me.

If you want to learn more about how to flow with God’s natural design for your body in labor, I have a free birth prep video playlist called Birth Without Burden.

💬Just comment “BIRTHFREEBIE” and I will send it to you!

Aww… this is just so beautiful! ❤️ I supported this mum and her partner through the Hypnobirthing Australia™ course for her first birth… back when she told me she’d feared birth her whole life and was certain she’d have a c‑section.

But with knowledge, practise, preparation and mindset work (and doing it all with her partner), everything changed.
She saw birth differently.
She trusted her body.
And she went on to have the most beautiful hypnobirth at home - the video is on her page and mine, which is so amazing to see.

Then she did it again for baby number two 🤩

And now here she is… having her third empowered hypnobirth, surrounded by her partner and her two kids at home in the birth pool 😍

Three hypnobirths later, the transformation is undeniable…
Practise, preparation, knowledge and mindset work… they matter!!
And the biggest shift came from the work she put in. That’s what changed everything.

Zarah and James, big congratulations! Watching you welcome your newest little addition into your family makes my heart so full, and I’m so grateful to have been a tiny part of your journey… and to see how far you’ve come ❤️

So grateful and deeply blessed to welcome our beautiful baby boy, Koah Lee Nolland 🤍

Most mums tell me the same thing: “I’m excited to meet my baby… but birth feels scary.” 🥺
And honestly? That’s completely normal. Birth feels scary when no one has ever taught us what’s actually happening in our body, what our options are, or how to stay calm when things get intense.

👉 So here are 3 of the biggest fears around birth and what actually helps.
✅ Because when you understand what’s going on…
✅ When you know how to work with your body…
✅ When your partner knows how to support you…
Everything feels different.

Birth becomes less “I hope I can do this” and more “I know what’s happening, and I’ve got tools to help me through it.” 💪

If this post gave you even one little “ohhh that makes sense” moment, imagine what 2 full days of learning, practising, and preparing could do 🙌

My next Hypnobirthing Australia™ Course:
Sunday 12th & 19th April 8:30am - 4pm
At Hot Yoga Southport
Perfect for mums 20+ weeks pregnant

If you’re ready to step into birth feeling calm, informed, and confident - I’d love to have you in this group.

✨ Birth is sacred. Midwifery is so important, but our system is struggling 😔
This student midwife speaks with such heart - loving the work, but feeling the weight of rising inductions, c-sections, and the conveyor belt hospital system.

Midwives are meant to be ‘with’ women. To protect physiological birth. To hold space. But the system isn’t supporting them, and it’s costing us all.

Sharing this 🎥 .fromabridge because it’s true. And it matters. We can’t create change until we see what’s happening around us.

Let’s listen. Let’s advocate. Let’s do better… for birthing women and for midwives 💕

Busting a common myth here: You don’t have to be quiet to hypnobirth. You can hum, moan, groan, roar your baby out - or be silent if that’s what feels right for you.

But here’s the physiology behind it:
👉Low tones help your pelvic floor relax and lengthen
👉High tones tend to tighten those muscles
👉Your diaphragm and pelvic floor are connected - so your voice really does matter
👉Your jaw mirrors your pelvis - tension in one often means tension in the other

So if you’re preparing for birth, try this:
✨ Breathe down to your baby
✨ Make low sounds like HAAA, OHMM or HUUMM
✨ Keep your jaw soft and relaxed

Let your voice support your body. Let your body lead the way.

And if you want to learn more about the physiology of birth and learn techniques that actually work, come join my final Hypnobirthing Australia™ group course for the year - Dec 7 & 14 on the Gold Coast

I love this 🎥 by ❤️ Birth with family present = equal parts support team + comedy show 😂 But it’s the bloopers, the real life stuff, that makes it unforgettable and special 🥰

This is for the mum’s I know who are preparing for their second birth and will have their own real life going on as they birth 💕
