Meet Michelle

Hi, I’m Michelle. I am a certified childbirth educator and founder of My Hypnobirthing. I support expecting parents across Melbourne with gentle, evidence-based and empowering birth preparation.

My approach blends education, mindset and practical tools to help you and your birth partner feel calm, informed and confident—no matter what kind of birth you’re planning. I believe every family deserves birth education that truly aligns with their values, preference and unique journey.

I offer two distinct programs designed to meet you exactly where you are!

Choose the Birth Education Path that Feels Right For You

Because every family prepares for birth differently, I offer two distinct learning streams designed to support your needs, preferences, and timeline.

'I would highly recommend taking a class with Michelle. I was very nervous around the thought of labour but after our sessions together I feel much more confident going into the experience, even looking forward to it now. Thank you so much Michelle we learnt so much from you. xx'

Jasmine Plunkett

'We are so grateful to Michelle for guiding us through our first birth journey with such calm, knowledge, and support. Her HypnoBirthing teachings gave us confidence, peace, and a sense of empowerment as we prepare to welcome our baby. She made what felt overwhelming feel possible, and we will carry her guidance with us always.'

Sofia & Aaron

Real Positive Birth Stories

    Jordy's Birth Story

    I was 40+6 and feeling very nervous at the prospect of an induction if he did not decide to come on his own. I had been having consistent contractions all day however 10 min apart and not progressing. We continued about our day and even went to the movies that night as I think we had given up the idea of him coming!

    Chiara's Birth Story

    Although Joe and I had planned and envisioned a natural birth from the beginning, we were met with a very unexpected circumstance. After a swim at a local pool and uncomfortable pain and cramping, our little girl decided to flip head up - breech. And, scan after scan she remained that way, despite my wildest attempts to turn her!

    Alesha's Birth Story

    When we arrived at the birth suite my partner Sam started to set up our calming space by switching off the lights and setting up our galaxy star projected. Before completing the Hypnobirthing Australia Positive Birth Program he would often describe his role in our pregnancy journey as feeling like a spare part.
