About Jo Fullerton and Birth from Within
Midwife, Mum and HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator
Each day I have the privilege to witness parent's joy when they meet their baby for the first time.
I've been a midwife for over 10 years and as an experienced health professional I see the challenges that face birthing parents.
The biggest challenge is fear.
Many women don't trust their innate ability to birth their baby.
Too often it's only the "horror" birthing stories that are circulated. Many women don't know they have the power to be in control of their birthing experience.
I'm passionate about helping women to trust their abilities to birth, maintain excitement about meeting their baby, and ultimately have a calm and positive birthing experience.
My natural childbirth experience
When I was pregnant with my son Max, I was keen to learn how to avoid any drugs during labour.
I wanted to birth my son in a calm and confident manner, so my husband and I took a HypnoBirthing course.
By using hypnosis and positive affirmation during the birth, I was able to give birth to Max naturally with no analgesia or medical intervention.
I can honestly say that I loved being in labour and would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
(You can read the full story of Max's birth here.)
HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method
When I found out it was possible to train to become a HypnoBirthing educator I quickly enrolled in the course.
(Not only is HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method the original and most comprehensive HypnoBirthing training available, it's also taught in 75 countries.)
Shortly after being certified as a HypnoBirthing practitioner I set up my business, Birth from Within. I've since found that my role as a HypnoBirthing educator perfectly complements my work as a midwife.
As an educator I spend a lot of time with expectant mums, dads and support partners and I enjoy sharing the benefits of HypnoBirthing.
By continuing to work at hospitals as a midwife, I keep up to date with evolving medical processes and practices. Plus, it gives me the opportunity to witness HypnoBirthing in action.
