The Hypnobirthing Australia™ ‘Positive Birth Program’ is making a powerful impact.

Kasey Biggar, a distinguished recipient of the WA Nursing & Midwifery Awards, and an award-winning Childbirth Educator, Midwife, and Nurse, played a pivotal role in bringing our Positive Birth Program, Positive Caesarean Birth Program, and Positive Birth Indigenous Program to Bunbury Hospital in Western Australia. Over the course of a year, she meticulously tracked and compared birth outcomes between those who participated in our Positive Birth Program and those who didn’t.

The results were nothing short of extraordinary. When Kasey presented her findings to the Western Australian Country Health Service (WACHS), which manages 19 hospitals across regional and rural W.A., they were so impressed that they implemented our program across all their health services!

If you’re looking for undeniable proof of the program’s effectiveness, look no further. The results speak for themselves.

Our programs are evidence-based, practical, accessible, and they work!

But the impact goes beyond statistics…

It’s not just about the birth process, but also about how women feel about their birth experience. In our modern world, birth trauma is all too common, and it’s time for a change. The Positive Birth Program can be a significant part of that change. Women were asked to describe their feelings about birth before and after attending our program. The transformation was profound – shifting from negative to positive perceptions. This means that mum and baby are given the best possible chance to connect immediately, straight after the birth, in those precious moments when new life if brought safely into the world.
