GentleBirth Childbirth Education
Your Positive Birth Begins Here!
Alison is a certified instructor with GentleBirth, providing a holistic and evidence-based approach to pregnancy, birth and parenting. GentleBirth combines brain science, birth science and technology to prepare you and your partner for the most positive birth possible. We proudly continue to lead the way as the world's most innovative, evidence-based, birth preparation program.
Brain Science: The GentleBirth brain training approach reduces pain in labour and supports emotional wellbeing through pregnancy and beyond.
Birth Science: Learn all about best practice and how to stack the odds in your favour of a safe, empowering positive birth as defined by you.
Technology: Each day, the GentleBirth app guides you through our unique brain training program tailored exactly to your circumstances.
Support: You'll have access to the GentleBirth community for emotional support and advice from GentleBirth experts.
While covering all aspects of birth preparation, GentleBirth puts a major focus on the mental preparation. Recent breakthroughs in brain science surrounding brain neuroplasticity show we humans can change our mindset for the better in a very short space of time. In our workshops we discuss cognitive behaviour therapy and sports psychology and apply them to the birth scene, and get parents on track to building life-long mindfulness and meditation practices which will stand them in good stead not only for the birth itself but for all the challenges of parenting to follow.
The GentleBirth app is a key part of birth preparation with this approach and is available via the App Store and Google Play. The app is personalised and provides mindfulness, hypnosis and positive affirmation audios suited to your specific situation (e.g. planned vaginal birth, Caesarean, VBAC, twins, etc.).
The GentleBirth prenatal workshop is an intensive workshop lasting around 12 hours. We currently offer the workshop over 3 live sessions, 3 consecutive Saturday mornings from 9am-1pm. Each intake is for a limited number of couples to allow for more meaningful interactions and quality time to address any issues or concerns that each individual may have. The cost is $499 per couple, with payment in full required to secure your place in the workshop.
