When a mother and her birth companion are able to approach their birth without fear, and equipped with knowledge, good support, and helpful tools, then their birthing can be an empowering experience. Hypnobirthing Australia™ classes are expertly structed to help you achieve this. Hypnobirthing is an evidence-based method of preparing for an experience you’ll want to remember forever, the birth of your child.
Women and their partners on the Sunshine Coast will leave the classes at Peaceful Birthing feeling confident, well-educated and supported to approach their birth calmly and without fear.
Here's what Peaceful Birthing parents have to say
After the class we feel a lot more positive and empowered with the right tools. We honestly loved it thank you so much Simone, she was fantastic. Down to earth and super relatable, as a same sex couple we had our doubts with how we would be treated but Simone made us feel so comfortable
Before completing the class, I was anxious about the birth of my second child. After the sessions I felt positive, informed, more confident about making choices for us and not what’s easiest for care providers. My husband enjoyed it and feels like he will play a more important role this time than the last birth. He said he feels more “useful”!
Up until the Peaceful Birthing course I was planning on an epidural, so I definitely have Simone to thank for changing my mindset and empowering me to trust myself and my body. It was just such an amazing experience, it never occurred to me to ask for drugs.
ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Simone. I’m a mother of two beautiful hypnobubs, whose births vastly changed the trajectory of my life.
Since birthing my daughters I’ve had an insatiable thirst for knowledge on all things relating to birth and postpartum. I’m so grateful I now get to share my passion and wisdom with others.
I find birth extraordinary, awe inspiring, and birthing mothers so much stronger than they’d ever thought possible. It’s next level watching a mother birthing her child.
I’m also a wife, soul searcher, and in my spare time a lover of the outdoors.
I’m a Hypnobirthing Australia Practitioner and Birth & Postpartum Doula. Peaceful Birthing is my business, a Maroochydore based passion project helping create positive birthing experiences for parents and enhancing joy for new mothers on the Sunshine Coast.

Wondering if hypnobirthing is for you? DO IT!
I'm not airy fairy but was highly recommended to do a hypnobirthing course and more specifically to Peaceful Birthing by Simone. I just had a "Meh, Why not give it a try" attitude and did I find the name 'hypnobirthing' a bit off putting...you bet I did.
But goodness was I wrong to make such a judgement.
Doing this course is one of the best decisions I've made for my pregnancy and our birth. Simones immense knowledge, passion and positivity left both my husband I feeling so much more prepared, relaxed, and equipped to make informed decisions. Cannot recommend more highly.
Thank you.

You’re beautiful Andri 💕 your words have hit me right in the heart! I’m so grateful you got so much out of the course. I loved having you there.I look forward to hearing how your birth journey unfolds. All the best xxx
I'm so grateful for taking Simone's Hypnobirthing class. She is truly passionate and it comes through in her teaching. I highly recommend her class if you want to feel informed and empowered for your birth, knowing that whatever happens you've got this. That's how my husband and I felt after her class, we learned so much. We feel prepared and a sense of peace on our birthing journey of our first child. Thank you Simone, you are such a ray of light!
Really enjoyed the two day hypnobirthing course offered by Simone. My partner and I both found the sessions incredibly informative and Simone was happy to answer any questions we had. We feel much more prepared (and less anxious) for our babies arrival after taking the course — we both feel like we have so much more information to hand to make informed decisions on the day, strategies to use for hypnobirthing our baby into a calm environment and overall peace of mind that we can do it! Thanks so much Simone - Meg

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience of the class Meg! It was a delight having you in the class. I'm thrilled you both feel are feeling so much more prepared and informed. So much love to you as you prepare for your special day x
I couldn’t recommend Simone and Peaceful Birthing more highly. We recently attended the Positive Birth Program, which Simone delivers with genuine passion, excitement and the utmost support. I left feeling so much more confident, not just about birth itself, but also about trusting my body and mindset throughout the process. It gave me the knowledge and tools to feel informed and empowered, whilst also allowing me to feel prepared, reassured, and even excited for the journey ahead. Thanks a million Simone

Thanks so much for the beautiful words Meaghan! Mindset is oh so important. I'm so happy you're feeling so much more confident and knowledgeable. I look forward to hearing about your empowered journey x
We had Simone as our doula and I would highly recommend her. Simone was extremely knowledgeable, supportive and so warm. Her intuition of what I needed during the birth, and how she worked with my husband was incredible. Made my second birth a much better experience which was empowering. Thanks Simone!

Thanks for your beautiful message Jillian! Your birth will forever live in my heart. I’m so honoured you chose to have me as part of your birth team ❤️
We cannot thank Simone enough, she was very informative and we are feeling a lot more prepared for birth.

Thanks lovely! I hope your bundle of joy has arrived. Much love to you and your growing family xx
My wife & I cannot recommend Peaceful Birthing highly enough! From the very first session, we felt empowered, informed, and genuinely supported. Simone provided such a calm and positive atmosphere for the two-day course, her beliefs also aligned with our approach and viewpoint of pregnancy and childbirth.
The techniques we learned, from breathing and relaxation to visualisation, gave us the confidence to approach birth without fear. We now feel equipped to make informed decisions and remain calm and in control throughout the experience.
Simone is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and down-to-earth. She created a safe space for everyone to ask questions and share, and she always took the time to tailor advice to each of us. Every parent-to-be should do this!

Highly recommended this course, very informative and empowering.
I loved Simone’s approach, delivering the course in a very down to earth manner not trying to lecturing anyone, very respectful and understanding of everyone’s situation.
Creating a beautiful safe space for all of us to ask any questions and release tension and stress.
You will learnt a lot of useful information regardless of the type of birth you are choosing.
I find this course it is an incredible tool to get male partners more involved, focus, connected and understanding of the whole situation and why women get so overwhelmed and why share the load with your love one it is so important.
Most likely you will leave the course feeling a greater bonding with your partner.
Thank you so much Simone and all the beautiful couples that did the course with us 💙

I love this! Thanks for sharing your thoughts Ana. I'm honoured you've walked away with so much from the class.My intention is to create a safe space for everyone to feel at ease, inviting playfulness at times, and including partners to so that can embrace their vital role in the birth process.I'm so pleased to hear this is how you experienced the class.I look forward to hearing how your birth journey went, when the time is right. Much love, Simone x
We can't thank Simone enough for such an empowering, informative course. We feel so much more at ease going into our first birth and have gained such valuable pearls of wisdom. Perfectly angled at empowering partners to be the best support on the day. Looking forward to taking what we've learnt into birth, thank you Simone!

Thanks for the beautiful words Karen! I loved having you and Brad in the class. A big thank you for all your interactions! Keep in touch x
Superbly beneficial, especially for first time parents. Simone was recommended multiple times in FB groups when I looked into Hypnobirthing in Sunshine Coast, and I am SO GLAD we went with her - both my partner & I learnt so much, gained a lot of confidence to go the natural route to birth our son & feel empowered for whatever comes when it is D-Day. My partner was SO against doing this course initially, thought it would be a waste of time & money but he whole-heartedly admits how wrong he was now 😂 As we drove home yesterday in a little bubble of bonding & love as hypnobirthing graduates, he said "it really should be mandatory for all parents to do that course before they have kids" - had to hold back from saying "I told you so" 🙊 Ladies, drag your partners to this course if you need to. Neither of you will regret investing in a positive birth experience that will FAR outweigh the investment (which is honestly minimal & very fair, esp if you factor in $200 of it goes directly to your Hypnobirthing australia access). Thank you Simone, you're amazing at this 🌟

All the feels!!!!!! Thank you Belinda, I'm thrilled I was able to convert your man. It's pretty common that the partners feel a huge sense of comfort and understanding just in that first session. The penny drops pretty quickly! I feel he may now be my biggest advocate! It was so amazing to have you both in the class, your presence really made for a hugely interactive and fun class. I very much look forward to keep in touch x
Great experience with Simone, felt really reassured and informed for the journey ahead and felt comfortable to ask any question! Thanks for a great hypnobirthing experience! Pauline and Joey x
Such an incredible experience! We honestly don’t have the words to express how wonderful we feel finishing this birth class! Hypnobirthing is absolutely unreal and we are so grateful for the opportunity to learn from Simone, such an invaluable experience. We are now fully ready to embrace birth in all its rawness and beauty! Truly so so so excited to meet our baby, feeling as though all our worries have left us and fully prepared for whatever journey our birth takes!
Highly recommend for both Mumma’s and birth partners, Josh left the class feeling jealous that I’m the one who gets to give birth! That’s just how empowered we felt!
Thank you again Simone, truly unreal!

My partner and I recently attended Simone’s hypnobirthing course and I couldn’t recommend something more for any couples expecting. Simone was amazing to learn from and is full of knowledge. I left feeling confident and excited for birth.
My partner was a little hesitant to begin with but he couldn’t believe how much he learnt after the first session. He now feels confident and informed and has continued to show an interest in practicing techniques in the lead up to birth. We are so grateful for the experience we had with Simone.

My partner and I completed our two session Hypno Birthing with Simon & wow! All
I can say is we walked out of both sessions feeling so inspired & empowered about our bub’s birth. The confidence these sessions has given my partner in his role in our birth was the highlight of this course for me. Simone is incredibly relatable and inspirational & we wish we could multiple support people & book her as our doula. Thank you Simone! X

My partner & I recently completed the hypno birthing course with Simone and have not been able to talk highly enough to friends & family about the course and Simone. We both walked away feeling so informed & empowered for our birth. We learnt so much especially my partner who really only had been exposed to what birth "looks like" through movies. We now have a completely different vision for our birth & feel so confident that however it goes it will be beautiful & positive.
We are also so excited to have Simone support us as our Doula. From the moment we met Simone, feeling her beautiful calm presence, we knew she was the perfect person to have in our birth space.

Highly recommend! We just finished our hypnobirthing training with Simone and it was just amazing. A lot of useful information that made myself and my husband more prepared and confident for the birth date of our first baby. Simone is passionate about birth and she is very kind and helpful. Thank you for being so great, Simone
