HypnoBirthing® What Parents are saying....

Our son, Gianluca was born Saturday , a healthy 7.5 lb . The birth was short and smooth.  AC. Melbourne . March 2010.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew and I have a beautiful baby boy who was born in a calm, peaceful and loving environment. We faithfully practiced our hypnobirthing skills and it paid off... no pain, no drugs, no stitches! Andrew received the baby and our son was alert and found his own way to the breast to self attach. Yes there was intense pressure and birthing was a very physical experience. Fortunately Andrew had learned the techniques to keep me focussed so he was able to be truly supportive and our midwife gave us the space to birth naturally!

We were home from hospital that afternoon and I went back to uni the next day. Thank-you Marilyn for guiding us through the course and for patiently answering all of our questions. Our son is relaxed, happy and unharmed by medical intervention. We are truly blessed. Katherine L. Brisbane 2009.

Hello Marilyn, I just wanted to say a big thank you!Baby Bentley Hicks arrived 2 weeks after the EDD. Me and Nathan were on our own 95% of the time and I only called the midwife when I had the urge to breathe the baby down. 40 minutes later 11 lb 6 oz Jacob was born. No tearing, no complications, no drugs , NO PAIN!!!!!  Just alot of pressure which was sometime uncomfortable but that was it. Of course the midwife said I had a high pain threshold which is a load of rubbish. I can't believe what a lovely experience it was. Thank you once again. Nicola and Nathan.  UK, 2007.

Hi Marilyn,
The birth was great! Waters broke at 2am, contractions started 3am, hospital 3.30am, contractions slowly intensified - used relaxation, breathing and visualisations - all very successful. No drugs.

Relaxed on left side for most of labour, baby birthed at 7.30am. I didn't realise I had dilated fully. Did feel some discomfort but never too much to bear and not panicked like previous births. I think about 4 contractions for 2nd stage. The midwives commented on little blood loss at birth. Baby was very calm and just looked around and went back to sleep, then she fed for over an hour. Small graze to perineum, no trauma, no stitches. Recovery fantastic! Ilaria feeding well and she definitely smiles!

Was unfortunately ill right up till the end and wasn't sure if I had it in me to birth but it was good. And now feel physically on top of the world.

I completed the hypnobirthing course with Julie Clarke which helped me cement the skills. She is terrific!

Best wishes

Hi Marilyn

I just wanted to send you a quick email to say a very big 'thank you' to you. I attended one of your introductory sessions down at Eco Child North Lakes as I was pregnant with my first baby and quite nervous about the impending labour. I found that the information and techniques that you provided in that short session gave me an instant confidence.

Midwife Rachael : Hi Marilyn, D. had an awesome birth on 5th . Her , J and I were at home until transition, then we went to hospital and Kyah arrived 45 minutes after we got there. No drugs, no tears, no probs. She spoke highly of you and birthed with ease. Thanks again for your feedback. Many blessings.  March, 2010

Life Coaching.. 

Before coming to see Marilyn, my only experience with her had been the few times I’d seen her, intermittently, over the course of my wife becoming a Hypnobirthing® practitioner. My wife would go away during the days for classes with her and would come home, spouting off tid-bits of the wealth of knowledge that had been poured into her. Marilyn had some very unique talents concerning her mind and body and the control she had over both. I was very intrigued by these talents and wanted to know more. Therefore, I embarked on a six-month course of life coaching with her, determined to acquire these talents for myself.

Our sessions were very casual, with very little formality to begin with and even less in the latter sessions in the series. They were held, most often, at her home, in a very particular room that she had set up as her own. There were no water-running machines or golden Buddha doorstops. Nor was there any new-age music full of harps or birds tweeting or babbling brooks to create the illusion of serenity. There were some very comfortable chairs, a warm drink always offered to me, and a lovely sea-breeze through the room. Succinctly, there was no pretension in her approach.

During my course with her, I discovered that we talked very little about those talents I wanted, and more about me. Often, I would leave wondering what on earth we’d talked about, or how the topic of conversation had drifted, and stayed for the duration, on that particular subject. Still, I continued on in faith, because my wife had started looking at me funny and telling me how she could see me changing before her eyes. (I now know those funny looks she gave me were of admiration and wonder.)

The original reason for my coming to her was addressed in a way. It was addressed in that Marilyn, in her experience and wisdom, saw my want to be different, and set apart from the rest of the population, as a symptom of something hurting inside me. I never did receive those particular talents that I wanted though I’m sure she would have taught me if I’d been persistent. Instead, I was brought to the point where I could be honest with myself, and ask at the end if I really, truly still wanted them. I didn’t. I was fine with who I was. I needed no one’s approval. Needing no-one’s approval in life is something I’ve never had, and is something I’ll never trade.

Whether it was Marilyn herself, or her merely facilitating my own decision to change my life, I came out of our sessions, not a different person, but a better one. A more developed person. I was travelling a particular route and I saw her on the road as a beacon lighting the next portion of my journey.

I consider her a close friend and confidant. I recommend her in the strongest possible way to anyone willing to admit they don’t already know everything.
