Australia's #1 Hypnobirthing & Childbirth Education Course

The Hypnobirthing Australia™ Program is a uniquely Australian hypnobirthing childbirth education course that draws upon the teachings of many natural birthing advocates from throughout history and has been developed by Australia’s leading hypnobirthing expert, Melissa Spilsted. The Hypnobirthing Australia™ Program is the most modern, up-to-date, Australian hypnobirth program available and we know that you are going to love it! We have both face-to-face and online courses available to you. Hypnobirthing Australia™ classes prepare you with the knowledge, confidence and tools you need to birth calmly and regardless of how your baby enters this world – be it naturally or via caesarean, home birth, hospital birth or water birth. Melissa Spilsted is the director and founder of Hypnobirthing Australia™. She is recognised as Australia’s leading expert in hypnobirthing. She teaches childbirth educators, caregivers and parents throughout Australia and the world. She is a passionate advocate for natural birthing; but also recognises that sometimes the safest delivery for mother and baby is via c-section. As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, experienced Childbirth Educator, and hypnobirthing mum of 3; Melissa has first-hand experience in using these proven techniques for empowering birth and wants to share these secrets with you! Hypnobirthing is as much a philosophy of birthing as it is techniques. When a mother and her birth partner are able to approach their birth without fear and with knowledge, good support, and tools for the birth – then their birthing can be a positive and empowering experience. We prepare ourselves both body and mind leading up to birth – so by the time birth comes around, we go into ‘automatic’ mode. Our mindset is positive, and this has a physiological effect on our body (i.e. we are not as likely to go into that ‘fight or flight response’). Because we are calm and feel safe, we release a cocktail of wonderful hormones (including endorphins and oxytocin) that reduce discomfort and help labour move along with ease. Does hypnobirthing really work? Yes it does – and now we have the outcomes (collected independently from a large public hospital in Australia) to prove it! The outcomes show that our Positive Birth Program REDUCED non-elective caesarean by 52%, REDUCED morphine use by 40%, REDUCED Epidural rates by 32%, and REDUCED induction rate by 15%.

It’s great to see that publicly funded home-birth programs are being made available in more locations around Australia. Whether you wish to birth in a hospital, birth centre or home - all women should have the choice. That’s respect and that is equity. ♥️

✨ Remembering Michel Odent ✨

Today we honour the life and legacy of Michel Odent, a true pioneer in the world of birth.

He has been an absolute inspiration to birthing women and we quote him throughout our course. Many don’t realise that he is the obstetrician responsible for making waterbirth available in hospitals. He is the world’s leading expert on the hormones of birth and has written many books, including the famous ‘Birth Reborn’.

I was lucky enough to meet this great man on a couple of occasions when he visited Australia. I’ll always be grateful for having the opportunity to make this great man in person and I am so thankful for all that he has done for pregnant women.

Michel Odent - you are appreciated, loved and will be sorely missed. X

What you do matters in birth prep — and Optimal Maternal Positioning (OMP) is your secret weapon! ⁠

There are many advantages for staying active and using upright positioning for labour and birth and having an understanding of this can be a game changer for birth 👏🏼⁠

OMP is a system of exercises, movements, positions, stretches, massage tools, specific pressure applications, and other techniques that help create alignment and mobility within a mother’s pelvis, to ultimately facilitate cardinal movements of the baby.⁠

✅ This enables and allows labour to progress. It creates space within your pelvis for a safer, easier, and more convenient birth. ⁠

OMP Online program is a really convenient way to learn at your own pace as you master the techniques and positions to give you the confidence for a safe and empowered birth experience.⁠

The content in the course is very complementary to our Hypnobirthing Australia program, so we can recommend this course based on personal experience. ⁠

Birth Hack Every Mama Needs to Know ⤵⁠

Meet the TENS machine — your ultimate labour tool⁠

This little device can be very helpful for some mamas when it comes to managing labour discomforts.⁠

The theory behind the effectiveness of TENS machines is that the pulsations flood your nervous system which then limits your body’s ability to send pain signals to your spinal cord and brain.⁠

Perfect for early labour and beyond, the TENS machine is safe, drug-free, and can be used at home or on the way to the hospital or birth centre.⁠

Here’s why it’s a must-have:⁠
✅ Natural, drug-free pain relief⁠
✅ Easy to use & portable⁠
✅ You can remain mobile ⁠
✅ Can be used alongside other methods of pain relief⁠
