About Me
Hi all!
My name is Nicole and I live in Whakatane with my beautiful husband and daughter. I have struggled with my mental health for years so when I fell pregnant with Kara in 2021, I wanted to work on myself mentally to be in the best headspace for labour/birth/motherhood.
I took a HypnoBirthing course through a local educator, Ashley, so after my 5 sessions I felt well and truly confident for my birthing day. This bit of work was the best thing that I did for myself and I had incredible support from my midwife which led to me having the most amazing positive and empowering birth imaginable.
It wasn't until Kara was about a month old that I realized how much of a passion I had for women's health, mental health, and empowerment which led me to take the HypnoBirthing educators course and achieve my certification and start up Calm is Key Birthing.
I now have a second daughter, Lucy, who was also a beautiful HypnoBirthed baby. Although a very different experience to my first birth. And have spent the last couple of years also taking the local antenatal classes through Parents Centre until their closure in December 2024. Currently I am working towards becoming a Matrescence Practitioner and working on continuing antenatal education in the Eastern Bay.
About HypnoBirthing
HypnoBirthing® – The Mongan Method is the work of Marie F. Mongan, Founder, and Creator of the HypnoBirthing® Institute.
However, this program is based on philosophies and publications from past pioneers in natural birthing, Dr. Gregory White & Dr. Grantly Dick-Read.
Marie developed the HypnoBirthing Childbirth Education program over 3 decades ago when she saw a need in the birthing industry to return back to an intuitive and calm birth.
HypnoBirthing was created to allow a mother’s body to birth the way it was intended, without interruptions and interference.
The program is based on the idea that healthy women experiencing healthy pregnancies without complications can birth without pain or peril, and should be respected in their decision to birth naturally.
Today, HypnoBirthing is recognized as the Gold Standard of Childbirth Education throughout the world, with classes taught in over 46 countries.
HypnoBirthing Educators are required to follow the HypnoBirthing® Institute code of ethics in order to maintain their Gold Seal. This Gold Seal assures families that the information they receive is the most relevant, evidence-based, up-to-date, and follows the HypnoBirthing curriculum guidelines.
