My name is Jana and I am a registered teacher and trained Hypnobirth Practitioner. I was drawn to become a Hypnobirthing educator following the birth of my beautiful son and seeing firsthand the difference this program can make during the birthing process. I have a passion for health education and am so excited to combine both my love for babies and teaching to support expectant mothers have their own positive birth stories.
Giving birth is such a magical and momentous occasion in a woman's life. Every woman deserves the right to understand what their body is going through and how to work alongside it to have an empowering birth experience. I strongly believe that knowledge is power and through the Hypnobirthing Australia™ program, you can learn about some incredible tools to help you achieve the birth you want and deserve.
My wish is for every Mum-to-be to go into labour well informed and ready for whatever comes their way. I look forward to meeting you and your birth partner and supporting you on this amazing journey!
I would like to acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of this land, the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation and pay my respects to the Elders of the past, present and emerging.
" As a first time mother, I was unsure where to turn when it came to birthing advice. Many women had told me that I did not need to go looking for information and I should just let the process happen.
However, a part of me did not feel right with going into this journey blind. I had begun the process of looking into where I could take part in a Hypnobirthing course when I stumbled across Jana.
It was almost as if the universe was handing me a sign that this was the right course of action for my family. Jana was able to organise a three-session course that fit into our busy lives without causing any stress or overwhelm. From the very moment we started, it felt so right.
Not only was Jana and the Positive Birth Program able to give me confidence in my own body and mind, but she also provided my husband with amazing tools to be empowered during each step of our labour and birth. He has learned how to not only support me during labour but also understand how to be my advocate during times when I may be unable to communicate at the hospital.
Before he was anxious that he would let me down as a birthing partner but thanks to all the different strategies and scripts he feels prepared, calm and excited.
The course really helped us to connect and bond over our last few weeks of what was already such a wonderful pregnancy. I could not recommend Jana more! I have never felt so prepared for such a beautiful unknown journey and more grateful for a course or its facilitator. "
" Stumbling across Jana was an absolute godsend! My husband and I did the private, in-home classes with Jana once a week for four weeks and the amount of in-depth, invaluable information we learned was incredible.
Jana is a kind hearted, wonderful human and you can tell she is so passionate about what she does. She made us feel so comfortable as if she was a friend we'd known for a long time. From day one we knew we were in good hands.
I have finished the course feeling confident, excited, educated and empowered and my husband is now at ease knowing he has all the knowledge, tools and skills to be an incredible support person and advocate.
My husband and I also work crazy schedules so to have this time each week was an incredible bonding experience and one we're so grateful for. We cannot recommend Jana enough and encourage everyone to do this course as well.
Jana, thank you again for all you have done for us xx "
" As my husband and I were living rural during our pregnancy we were so glad to access online hypnobirthing classes with Jana.
It was such smooth sailing joining our online zooms, Jana was personable and professional and made sure we had access too the resources we needed.
Everything was taught in a respectful manner, we were able to present questions and she guided us so well when navigating our birth preferences, which was hospital and minimal intervention.
Really the hard work is in the mindset work and meditations for myself, Jana helped me keep on top of my mantras and hypno tracks. It’s great to have that accountability. We protected ourselves from negative stories and other peoples unhelpful opinions leading up to birth and used the hypnobirthing tools (light touch, mediation tracks and trigger points) during birth.
That stuff is so important. I recommend Jana and hypnobirthing to all! "
