Transform Your Birth
Everything you need to know to Transform Your Birth, and your experience of becoming a parent.
BIRTH YOUR WAY
Have you been feeling nervous or scared about the pain of giving birth?
Are you worried about birth injury?
Have you become overwhelmed by all the information you have googled?
Or perhaps you feel called to birth more consciously, rather than just gritting your teeth and “getting through it”?
Either way, you’re in the right place, dear one.
Tracey takes the fear and overwhelm away
distilling it down to a simplicity that makes it doable
– for both you and your partner.
BUT
It isn’t just a birth course!

We have you covered…
for whatever you need, when you need it, from pregnancy to the first 7 years of your child’s life.
What you will learn in the birth course
Over 2 days we’ll delve into:
- What happens to your body during birth, and the science of how your mind can affect how labour feels and unfolds.
- Practical tools and relaxation/breathing exercises to maintain an optimal emotional state during labour, and down-regulate your body’s stress response — helping labour feel easier and less painful.
- How to be safely involved in any decision-making with your medical team — rather than feeling intimidated, or as if you don’t have any say in what happens during your birth.
- What your partner can do in the labour room to support you emotionally and physically — boosting their confidence, and bonding the two of you as you welcome your baby to the world, together.
- What your baby needs when they arrive – settling into life outside the womb.
- And so much more!
The Truth is birth can be different
It’s not something we have to fear, or dread.
Because whilst we can’t control birth completely, science shows us that we can influence it.
Its about training the mind
Learning to harness our mind’s ability to impact our body is the key to handling the intensity of birth — and making labour easier, less painful, and even enjoyable.
It does, however, for most of us, take training.
This is what we do!
With our Transform Your Birth class, you’ll get the knowledge + practical tools and skills you need to “retrain” your nervous system — so you don’t just think differently about birth…you labour differently.

Frequently asked q's
When is the ideal time to attend Transform Your Birth?
We see couples in all stages of their pregnancies; however, we find it is most beneficial for couples to come in their second trimester or at the beginning of their third trimester (approx. 30 weeks). This will allow enough time before your due date to practice the relaxation activities assigned to you by your Transform Your Birth Educator and fit in a Transform Your Birth pre-natal catch-up group visit.
If you’re feeling particularly anxious about birth in your early pregnancy, please feel free to attend earlier. We also offer opportunities to revisit our birth classes prior to birth.
If there is a higher chance you might need to have a caesarean section, please contact us before enrolling and we can assess your needs and potentially offer you an alternative form of birth preparation specific to your circumstances.
What to do when your preferred class is full
If your preferred Transform Your Birth class is booked out, please contact the office to be put on the waiting list as there may be a late cancellation.

Is this course suitable for planned cesareans?

This session will cover specific topics relevant when having a cesarean, such as: preparing for the birth, the role of the mind in birth, breathing physiology, relaxation and visualisation, and the partner's role in the birth. A private session costs $525.
What is your Refund Policy?
A non-refundable deposit of $150 is payable upon enrollment in the Transform Your Birth course. The remaining balance is refundable up until seven (7) days prior to the commencement of the course.
