Hi!! I’m Hannah! 

Swan Hill’s only private Birth Worker – My areas of expertise are;

  • Birth Educator - physiological birth and c-section

  • Birth Doula,

  • Holistic Postpartum Practitioner,

  • Pregnancy and Postpartum Massage Practitioner.

I am a born and bred Swan Hill girl - wife and mother to our two beautiful children Ingrid and Noah. It was during both my pregnancies and birthing experiences that I saw a gap in the care and support being offered for birthing women in Swan Hill and surrounding areas.

Navigating through my first year as mother after a traumatic birth experience, feeling emotionally and physically broken; I decided I wanted to support other mothers to not feel the same and be a small part of the positive birthing movement that is currently happening in our world today.

 
"when you change the way you view birth - the way you birth will change"

“1 in 3 women experience the birth of their baby as traumatic.”

 

For me this statistic does not sit well! And after experiencing a traumatic first birth myself, I intuitively knew that there must be another way to birth where more women can come out the other side physically and emotionally well.

I went on the hut, and found my answer in HypnoBirthing! Together with my husband and toddler in toe, we travelled two and half hours down the country road to do the classes. HypnoBirthing brought back to me my birthing power!! A power that I had had with me all along but unfortunately like so many other women today, I had unknowingly given it away to the medical world.

My love for birth and supporting women during what is the BIGGEST transformation in a woman’s life had begun…

By acknowledging that birth is a process, a process where the birthing mother and baby are ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS in and not something that is simply just DONE to us or just a way of ‘getting baby out’ we can start taking our back our power as birthing women!

Birth is a physiological experience that is special and unfolds uniquely for every woman. Only when we normalise speaking and regularly seeing birth as a beautiful experience that women are designed to do will the birthing world of today change…

But in order for this change to occur we must start speaking up and taking back our POWER as birthing women!!

THE CHANGE STARTS WITH US…THE MOTHERS.

In the hospital they usually tell moms to try to breastfeed every 2-3 hours. Wake baby to nurse every 2-3 hours. That way you can make sure to nourish baby and bring in a good milk supply. Unfortunately this isn’t exactly how it works🙄 this

  • How many hours of sleep do I need?

    Whatever I can get 🤪 any sleep in good sleep for me!

  • My favorite drink is

    Espresso Martini all the way!!!! (which is weird because I hate drinking coffee!)

  • Dog or a cat person?

    Tough one! I LOVE animal's… always been a dog person (give me a big golden retriever any day 😄) but my cuddly cat is a very treasured part of my life too!

  • What did I want to be when I grew up?

    No idea! Two things I knew about myself from a very young age were: 1. I LOVE BABIES, I have always surrounded myself with them growing up & babysat from a very young age. I then went on to study & work as a childcare educator. 2. I always knew I wanted to travel the world, and I’m so happy I did. ☺️

  • Am I an introvert or extrovert?

    I’m very much both! I definitely love my own time & need it to recharge but I also love a chat (haha) and can be very social. I’m reserved when I need to be and then will definitely stand up for something I strongly believe in or for a friend in need! I’m an emotional & sensitive person & I internalise EVERYTHING (sometimes to much.) I used to think of this as a weekness but now I know it’s my biggest asset when forming strong relationships with others as it allows me to intuitively connect with them.
