When I decided I wanted to have a natural birth with my first I knew I would need a way to cope with labour. I found Anthea at HypnoBirthing Gold Coast who instilled the utmost confidence in myself and my husband and made us feel that we would have the strength to bring our baby earth side the way we envisioned! HypnoBirthing allowed me to embrace my birth and everything that came along with it! I have since used HypnoBirthing techniques to bring four little darlings into the world with little medical intervention! HypnoBirthing allowed me to feel empowered and enabled me to bring my babies into a calm and relaxed environment!
Anthea was so great to have for our third time around as we only learnt that HypnoBirthing existed after our first child. We found Anthea through a friend and she came to our location which made it convenient for us and revisited strategies to remind us what we had learnt. Anthea was really great on expanding on those strategies and offering more advice and words of wisdom and reminders of what to focus on and what to think about. Thankyou Anthea for doing such a great job! I had an awesome birth! Xx
When my husband and I were awaiting the birth of our daughter, we didn’t know much except that we wanted a gentle, calm approach to childbirth. We approached Anthea for private in-home classes for HypnoBirthing and we were smitten at first phone call. She was lovely, warm and calm. The classes were so flexible and even my husband looked forward to them each week. We both approached birth so excitedly, calmly and positively with the help of tools that Anthea gave us throughout our classes. We didn’t have the ‘dream birth’ due to minor medical problems, but those problems were eased by using the techniques Anthea taught us and stressful situations were calmed quickly under her guidance from the classes. My husband recently had quite a horrific accident and he even used the beautiful HypnoBirthing techniques to keep himself calm and meditative during a very stressful time before help arrived. He attributes his calmness completely to HypnoBirthing. So it’s not just for birth 🙂
We HIGHLY recommend Anthea and her gorgeous HypnoBirthing classes, you won’t regret it.
Anthea has supported us now with the birth of 2 of our children, and she is the best! Our first hypnobirth 9 years ago was long, but had we not had the education of HypnoBirthing, we would have ended up with a c-section for sure. My midwife was amazed at how I was able to breathe through that long labour. Anthea and Phil (my husband) were there by my side the whole time reminding me that I could do it (and I did!). My second birth only 6 months ago has to be the best day of my life. I birthed at home with our midwife, my husband, my son, and Anthea, and it was much shorter this time. HypnoBirthing is something every couple should do to prepare for birth. I honestly don’t know how people birth without it. I can’t recommend HypnoBirthing and Anthea enough – I tell everyone! I think I should now do the course and teach other families!
