About Rebecca Black
Founder & Director of The Mindful Birth Movement:
I’m a Psychologist, a HypnoBirthing Practitioner, and most importantly a mum to three wonderful children. As a passionate psychologist, I have a wide range of experience working with clients at an individual, group and organisational level. I provide individual counselling to clients of varying backgrounds and presenting issues, including concerns related to anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, stress, relationship and family issues, and more. Through utilising evidence-based approaches and developing a strong therapeutic relationship with clients, I am able to support clients to move through the difficulties they are facing, improve their quality of life and attain a sense of fulfilment. After having my children, I discovered my passion for pregnancy, birth and babies… and developed a special interest in supporting women throughout their perinatal journey. I understand the range of difficulties that women can experience in relation to conception, pregnancy, birth and motherhood, and I believe the support of a warm, non-judgmental and compassionate person can make a significant difference. The Mindful Birth Movement is an established and growing business that provides a range of services to women throughout their perinatal journey. Based in Heathmont, we offer a continuum of support to clients as they move through conception, pregnancy, birth and motherhood. These services include counselling and psychological support, HypnoBirthing Childbirth Education Programs, and our signature group program, Mindful Motherhood. Our mission is to support women to honour where they are at and redefine their motherhood experience through letting go of unrealistic expectations, reducing guilt, anger, anxiety and depression, and engaging in self-compassion.
