Welcome to Vitality with Amy Maree

“ My goal is to empower women to feel confident that they can have a beautiful, calm birth and to eliminate the fear around birth that is prevalent today”

As a Hypnobirthing Australia™ Practitioner, a former Hypnobirthing Australia™ participant, mother of two Hypnobubs and a huge believer in the power of the mind, I share my knowledge passionately and use my experience to enable women to trust their instincts, their body and their baby; to understand what happens physiologically and mentally during birth; and to educate both mother and partner so they can make informed decisions and be prepared for any turn their birth may take.

As a result, parents can look forward to their birth experience, reflect on it as one of the most wonderful and memorable times of their lives and share beautiful, positive stories.

What is Hypnobirthing?

Despite the name, there is much more to our program than hypnosis (deep relaxation). Along with techniques and tools to create and maintain a positive mindset, remain calm and stimulate the release of nature’s pain relievers, endorphins, you will gain vital knowledge on birthing hormones, physiology of birth, bonding with baby, your rights and choices for birth, how fear affects birth and how your partner and caregiver can best support you. You can feel empowered and prepared for a positive birth experience, regardless of how your baby enters the world.

The four key areas of focus in preparation for a positive birth experience:

Knowledge

Mind/body connection

Hormones and physiology of birth

What to expect

Bonding with baby

Special circumstances

Birthing preferences

Support

Our birth partner

Tools and techniques

    “The Positive Birth Program with Amy has been amazing for my husband and I. I really wanted to do it to give him the opportunity to see what birth is like and what to expect and he has definitely finished the course with such a different outlook and is so excited to be an active participant in labour. I throughly enjoyed the experience myself with Amy and learnt so many amazing things about birth. She allowed me to feel empowered and taught me how to advocate for myself prior to and during labour. Amy’s calm and gentle nature created a safe space for us to learn and ask any questions we had. The online MP3 tracks have been great to listen to everyday and train my brain to be calm and let go. I will absolutely be recommending this course and Amy to everyone! Thank you so much for changing our birth experience!”

    “We could not recommend Amy any higher to any expecting couples or individuals. My partner was hesitant at first but after our first session with Amy, his view had changed dramatically and he was already saying things such as ‘I get why Hypno can work so well’. Amy made us feel so comfortable in our private session and had my partner participate in scripts also so he understood a little better. We both have come out of the classes with more knowledge and confidence than I could have ever imagined.

    No matter what path out birth takes, we know Amy has done such an incredible job in educating us to deal with whatever may arise.

    Forever grateful for all Amy’s attention during our sessions as well as continued support in the lead up to bub’s arrival!

    Thanks again Amy!”

    “We had Amy come to our home for our 1:1 classes and couldn’t be more at peace with how much more prepared we feel to go into our first birth with the confidence that it will be a positive experience regardless of the outcome.

    Amy was really great at explaining all the benefits behind hypnobirthing and really concreted that regardless we can have the most positive and beautiful birth for us. We had previously done a lot of research and both went in calm, relaxed and head strong but we still took so much away that we feel could have potentially prevented us from having a positive experience. We are now equipped with techniques for both of us to stay calm, relaxed and for me to feel as safe as possible during such a vulnerable but extremely exciting time.

    I looked into hypnobirthing after I started hearing negative birth stories, fears and “non normal” could happens from people around me. I felt a sense of ignorance in that I didn’t want to know or hear bad stories, so when hypnobirthing was recommended to me I knew that was our path, regardless of a skeptical husband who absolutely loved it!

    We couldn’t recommend Amy enough and we wished that everyone in Shepparton + around the GV could experience her classes, especially anyone experiencing fear or birth anxiety.

    Thanks Amy!”

    “ 100% would recommend Amy and the Positive Birth program. Amy made us feel so comfortable and excited for the birth of our little one. We feel so empowered and prepared for what is to come.

    I feel like the techniques you learn in the hypnobirthing classes will be so beneficial not just in birth but moments throughout life too.

    We are so grateful for meeting Amy and everything she has taught us.

    Shepparton Mummas are so lucky to have such a wonderful, caring person in the area to prepare them for birth of their babies.”

Work with Amy

I am proud to be part of the movement of passionate educators and professionals that are working together to create a shift. I have hope that with Hypnobirthing and childbirth education we can reprogram our beliefs around birth, one woman and one family at a time. We can set mothers and partners up powerfully to give them the best opportunity for a beautiful birth. We can get back to a world where intervention and medical support are the exception, rather than the norm. We can shape the stories of birth to be positive, empowering and beautiful – once again.

If you have any questions, aren’t sure which Hypnobirthing service is best for you, or just prefer to chat about what I offer, please book a call with me!
