When my husband and I attended antenatal classes they passed an epidural needle around the group \u2013 it was HUGE. I then read up on the different drugs offered during labour and was horrified to learn of the documented side effects for both mother and baby \u2013 not to mention the unknown ones.<\/em><\/p><p><em>I decided that there had to be another way. Women had been giving birth since the beginning of time \u2013 our bodies are so remarkably complex and well designed \u2013 I found it hard to believe that the childbirth process was so flawed! I recognised the power of the mind-body connection and wished to utilise that for my birthing. That is when I discovered Hypnobirthing.<\/em><\/p><p><em>I was a bit sceptical at first, but thought I would give it a go. With only three weeks to go before my due date, my husband and I learnt hypnotherapy and hypnobirthing techniques for birthing. Thank goodness we did! I did really embrace a hypnobirthing philosophy, but I found the practice cds (in another accent) to be sometimes difficult to listen to \u2013 so I made my own recordings and incorporated some of my own conditioning\/breathing techniques into my daily preparation. My births were beautiful, smooth and calm and I attribute this to the knowledge that my husband and I had acquired about the birthing process, hypnobirthing techniques learnt, support from my birth partner and my own program of \u2018conditioning\u2019.<\/em><\/p><p><em>I believe so strongly in the positive outcomes of using hypnobirthing that I now completely focus my hypnotherapy and teaching practice on sharing these techniques with <a href=\"https:\/\/hypnobirthingaustralia.com.au\/classes\/melissa-spilsted-hba-director-paddington-brisbane-robina-gold-coast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">parents<\/a> and training new Hypnobirthing Australia <a href=\"https:\/\/hypnobirthingaustralia.com.au\/practitioner-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Practitioners<\/a>. I am very proud to know that I have made a positive difference to many family\u2019s lives through education and the sharing of this these techniques.<\/em><\/p><p><em>It\u2019s time for women to become empowered and elated by the birth process once again, and this is absolutely possible with hypnobirthing. My dream is that all babies have the opportunity to enter this world in a beautiful, calm and positive environment \u2013 the way nature intended.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><p>Melissa holds both <a href=\"https:\/\/hypnobirthingaustralia.com.au\/classes-melissa-spilsted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">group and individual hypnobirthing classes<\/a> and hypnotherapy sessions servicing the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
