In this week's episode I speak with Shari Lyon. Shari is one of Australia’s leading and most sought after Hypnobirthing Practitioners and Childbirth Educators. Shari’s passion is to support women and birth partners through pregnancy to help them prepare for a positive birth.

Hypnobirthing is an independent childbirth education program and aims to provide you with knowledge, support, tools and techniques to help you prepare for a positive birth, no matter how your baby comes into the world.

This conversation was so empowering. I love the topic of birth, and being able to dive into the power of hypnobirthing with this wonderful educator was such an honour.

We talk about…

  • What hypnobirthing is and why it’s growing in popularity
  • Why you need to be knowledgeable on birth, no matter who your care provider is or where you plan to birth
  • A snapshot into the birthing system in Australia
  • How Shari’s own experience of surprise pregnancy led her to her life work and what she’s learned along the way
  • Misconceptions about hypnobirthing
  • Why educating yourself will support you no matter how you birth
  • Taking self responsibility
  • Rates of birth trauma in Australia (this will shock you)
  • How the birthing systems will change and why you are an integral part of that

And lots more!
