Giving birth is a life changing event, so it's important that you feel informed and supported during the birth of your baby
HypnoBirthing® is an empowering prenatal class that provides expecting mothers and their birthing partners with a holistic approach to childbirth. You will learn simple yet effective breathing techniques, visualisation guides, deep relaxation, and practical advice. These techniques will assist you in having a positive birthing experience and will give you a skill set you can use for life.
Mothers need just as much care as a newborn, because they too have just been born!
The Transformation Into Motherhood Is An Intense Time, Both Physically & Emotionally
During the first few weeks, your body is recovering, breastfeeding is established (if this is an option or a choice for you) and you are bonding with your baby. As a Postpartum Doula, I support new mothers who want to avoid feeling stressed and overwhelmed, and instead feel joyful and confident as they transition into motherhood. I offer in-home support so you can enjoy the Blissful Postpartum that you deserve.
Hi there Lovely,
My name is Jessica, I live in Dunedin with my husband and our 2 amazing kids. I’m a hippie at heart with a love of nature, nutritious food, reiki, aromatherapy and of all things holistic. I am a qualified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator, Birth & Postpartum Doula, and Beauty & Massage Therapist.
I am a huge advocate of pregnant & new mothers being supported and having the all resources they need, as they navigate one of the biggest and most important transitions of their lives.
I believe your birthing experience is one that you will remember forever, and is not enough to just hope you will have a positive birthing experience. Whether you are choosing to have an un-medicated home birth, a planned hospital birth or cesarean-birth, the techniques you learn in HypnoBirthing will give you the confidence to feel empowered with you birthing choices, help you to remain calm, relaxed and stay in-tune with your body throughout your pregnancy and birth.
After going through my own two “radically” different postpartum experiences, I realised it really does “take a village” and how nutritious meals, a warm environment and gentle encouragement can do wonders for your postpartum recovery and self-esteem. In many cultures, there is a 40 day postpartum period for rest, recovery and nourishment. This “sacred window” honours the profound changes that are happening in a woman’s body after giving birth, physically, mentally and emotionally. My role is to make sure you are feeling supported, nourished, and confident in finding your own unique parenting style.
My wish is for every mother to feel loved, NoURISHED and supported THROUGHOUT PREGNANCY, birth and postpartum, so she CAN embrace motherhood with joy & confidence

Jess was amazing, going through breathing techniques and hearing her voice automatically is relaxing. Having demos for partner involvement was great, some partners just don’t know what they can do to help, and makes them feel much more included on the journey

‘Jessica Garth is passionate, friendly and extremely knowledgeable on hypnobirthing. She has empowered me & prepared me for my planned home hypnobirthing labour in July by providing & demonstrating relaxation techniques, birth affirmations and birthing videos and much more. I highly recommend her and thank her for being supportive & easily accessible during the COVID-19 lockdown period. ‘

Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers ~ strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength. Barbara Katz Rothman
