BirthSkills

I would like to introduce myself as the BirthSkills Practitioner for South Australia.

BirthSkills is a program teaching women relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques for use in pregnancy and labour. The aim of BirthSkills is to help women overcome the fear of childbirth with positive education on the natural process of labour, birthing and the postnatal period.

The BirthSkills program is suited to women who are seeking detailed information on the process of labour and birthing, or women with anxiety and other anxiety related disorders (eg- needle phobia).

I am a Registered Nurse/Midwife with experience in low and high-risk pregnancy. I have worked independently in Midwifery Group Practice for the last four years. Within this role I provided antenatal care, labour management and postnatal care to women and their babies.

As a part of the BirthSkills program women receive detailed printed materials outlining normal physiology, endocrinology, medical and natural pain relief methods for pregnancy and labour. All information is current and evidenced based. Relaxation CD’s are also provided to teach women self-hypnosis techniques for use in pregnancy and labour. Prices and further information are available from the website www.birthskills.com.au

A postnatal education program is also available to help women relax and enjoy their new babies. It has a strong focus on treating postnatal depression. Psychology guidance is available for women who may also require additional support.
