Hypnobirthing Australia™ Course (Childbirth Education) taught by Kate Eakin on the Gold Coast

Hi, I’m Kate and I’m a certified Hypnobirthing Australia™ Practitioner and a Childbirth Educator (HPCE) on the Gold Coast. I’m passionate about teaching the Hypnobirthing Australia™ program because I truly believe that every woman, whether it be your first, third or fourth time giving birth, you have the right to have an amazing, positive birthing experience, which you feel empowered by and the Hypnobirthing Australia™ course offers just this. I can support you and your birth companion as a practitioner as well as being a two times hypnobirthing mum. I had two calm, positive births using hypnobirthing techniques - one of which was in hospital and the other was an amazing, vaginal breech birth delivered unintentionally at home. The ‘hypno’ refers to the use of hypnotherapy in the course and this is a great tool that helps you to release fear and tension and change preconceived, negative thoughts and encourages a positive mindset, self-confidence and awareness. Hypnosis is a process like meditation - you are conscious and awake, although show signs of being emotionally and physically relaxed. Hypnotherapy will create a more calm and relaxed birthing experience, because the tools will help you to focus internally on the task at hand and shut out unwanted disruptions. Join me in combining information, tools and techniques to ensure a physical and mental preparation that is so important for releasing fear and tension and as a result you can achieve your goal of having a calm, positive birthing experience.

I was listening to a podcast from Evidence Based Birth® where a doula in the Netherlands said something that really struck a chord with me: “Birth rarely goes exactly as planned… but knowing your options? That’s where real empowerment lives.” 🙌
Yes. This is exactly what I teach.
There’s no one “right” way to give birth…
It’s about feeling confident in your choices, having practical tools, and knowing you’re supported every step of the way.
When you’re informed, you’re in the driver’s seat.
You get to make the decisions that feel right for you.
And that’s when we birth better.
Education is power, and I couldn’t agree more ❤️

But here’s the thing... learning is just the start.
What we do with that knowledge? That’s where the transformation happens.
That’s why I always say - just do it! (yep, just like the Nike ad 😉)
Because when we implement - when we use the tools, the mindset, the prep…
👉 That’s when the magic unfolds
👉 That’s when confidence builds
👉 That’s when birth becomes a more empowering experience

And always remember... you can’t fail at birth 💪 So just do it 🙌🥰

✨ If you want to listen to the episode, it’s Evidence Based Birth® EBB 351: “Home Birth is a National Heritage!” with Doula Madi van Tonder - such an insightful look into the Dutch maternity care system.

✨ And if you’re ready to feel more informed, more confident, and more in control…
Join my next Hypnobirthing Australia™ group course this Sunday. A few spots left - link’s in my bio!
I love supporting couples on their birthing journeys and watching them step into birth with calm, confidence, and power 🤗

It’s been a while since I jumped in on a photo? 📸😬 Hoping I’m not cramping their style 😉 They insisted, I promise 😂 Great couple of days, over 2 weekends with these couples for my March Hypnobirthing Australia™ Positive Birth Course! ✨
Last month was a full house, and this month - thanks to a little bit of craziness from cyclone Alfred on the Gold Coast - we had a smaller group, which was lovely. It meant I got to spend even more one-on-one time with everyone, answering all the questions and making sure they felt super supported. That’s what I love about keeping my groups small and personal (max 6-7 couples!) - everyone gets hands-on help, and we get to really connect 🥰

And my support doesn’t stop once the course is over! Every couple gets a private online prep session to refresh, ask any last-minute questions, and feel totally ready for birth. And after baby arrives, we can do a post-birth debrief as well - because talking through your experience really matters. I’m always here for my couples 💕

✨ If you’re on the Gold Coast and want to feel calm, confident, and totally supported for your birth - DM me or click the link in my bio to book. Can’t wait to have you in my next group! 🥰

I’m officially set up at my new venue! 🎉 Here’s my first Hypnobirthing Australia™ group course at Hot Yoga Southport, and wow - what a way to kick things off!! Such a beautiful group of couples, and we had so much fun. The energy in the room was amazing, and I love that some of the couples have stayed in touch, cheering each other on as they get closer to meeting their bubs. I just love that 🥹✨

One of the big questions I get is: When is it too late to do the course? And honestly? It’s never too late. One of the lovely mamas in this group was 38 weeks - proof that it’s never too late to get informed, feel prepared, and have tools to lean on.

Also, not going to lie… I got a little round of applause at the end, and I may have gotten a bit emotional 😆 Nearly 8 years of teaching this program, and I still love every second of supporting and preparing couples for birth.

If you’re on the Gold Coast and want to go into birth feeling calm, confident, and supported, I’d love to have you in my next course! It’s not just about learning techniques - it’s about feeling ready, knowing your options, and having a partner who actually knows how to help (instead of standing there looking a bit panicky, which I totally understand, because when do we ever get taught this stuff, unless doing a course like this).
Swipe through to check out some of the techniques we worked on! 🤗🤩

If you (or someone you know) are searching for a birth preparation course that’s all about support, positivity, and giving you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to make informed decisions and take charge of your birth—this is your sign to come join me. Love to support you on this journey.

Tag a mum-to-be or share this with someone who’d love to hear about it!

This inspiring mum (shared with permission) took my Hypnobirthing Australia™ course when she was pregnant with her first baby, hoping to overcome her fear of birth. Not only did she feel empowered, but her husband became an incredible birth partner, asking the right questions and advocating for her when it mattered most 🙌❤️

Her words give me goosebumps every time I read them. And I just love that this mum is so passionate about sharing her experience to help other mums feel confident and prepared for their own births.

You don’t need to leave birth to chance. Let’s prepare together so you can feel empowered and confident every step of the way 💫

My next group course is coming up this Sunday 🤗... still time to join. Few spots left. Don’t miss out.
Otherwise come join me in January for my first group course for 2025 🎉 - take the first step toward the birth you deserve 💕

Our Story

Hi, I’m Kate and I’m a certified Hypnobirthing Australia™ Practitioner and a Childbirth Educator (HPCE) in the North Gold Coast region. I’m passionate about teaching the Hypnobirthing Australia™ program because I truly believe that every woman, whether it be your first, third or fourth time giving birth, you have the right to have an amazing, positive birthing experience, which you feel empowered by and the Hypnobirthing Australia™ course offers just this.

I can support you and your birth companion as a practitioner as well as being a two times hypnobirthing mum. I had two calm, positive births using hypnobirthing techniques - one of which was a birth in hospital and the other was an unassisted, accidental, breech, home birth. Hypnobirthing was the reason my husband and I were able to make the decisions that were right for us and also cope with the pressure of the special circumstances in the lead up to the birth of my son. Since then I have been inspired to educate and support other couples so they too can be informed and understand their rights as birthing parents to have a wonderful birth experience with no regrets. Click here to view my birth story. The ‘hypno’ in hypnobirthing refers to the use of hypnotherapy in the course and this is a great tool that helps you to release fear and tension and change preconceived, negative thoughts and encourages a positive mindset, self-confidence and awareness. Hypnosis sounds a bit ‘woo woo’ ; ) but it’s just a process like meditation or deep relaxation - you are conscious and awake, although show signs of being emotionally and physically relaxed. Hypnotherapy will create a more calm and relaxed birthing experience, because the tools will help you to focus internally on the task at hand and shut out unwanted disruptions. So come and join me in combining information, tools and techniques to ensure a physical and mental preparation that is so important for releasing fear and tension and as a result you can achieve your goal of having a calm, positive birthing experience. You won’t regret it! Head over to my website www.positivelyhypnobirthing.com.au and checkout course dates that will suit you and let’s get you started on this amazing journey.
