Dr Liz
Hi, my name is Liz and I have been a chiropractor for mums & bubs for over 17 years! I have a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and a Masters of Chiropractic from Macquarie University. I also have an extra two years of post-graduate study to become an Advanced Paediatric Chiropractor, as well as being a Hypnobirthing Practitioner.
Over the years I have seen what helps mothers to step through their journey to motherhood with more ease, better health and more empowerment. There is a significant difference in health outcomes for mothers that get body work done, and receive further education related to pregnancy, birth and post-partum.
When it comes to birth, there is a less than 30% chance of having a natural delivery in Australia (ABS stats 2022). So getting prepared, informed and educated can be a real game changer! If you had to run a marathon, most people would train, prepare their mind and body, and get educated and equipped with tools and skills to help. Birthing is similar, it is one of the single biggest events the human body will go through! So as women, let’s get educated and prepared to have the best possible experience and start into motherhood.

Hi, I’m Julie and I have been working with expectant and new mums since 2013, providing pre and post-natal massages in the comfort of their own homes around Brisbane. Throughout these years I learned so much about the different stories out there when it comes to childbirth.
Even though most of my ‘mums’ are excited and hopeful when it comes to childbirth, we still hear the traumatic stories passed onto us by family members and friends, or we watch movies showing women screaming in agony. My goal is to change the dialogue around childbirth from negative to positive.
The birth of my first child was a terrible experience. I simply didn’t know better and was left feeling terrified. So, when it was time for the birth of my second baby in 2004, I was on a mission to find a solution. This is when I discovered and experienced the power of hypnobirthing! It is a positive story I still love to share.
Mums deserve to feel good about their experience, no matter what happens in their childbirth story. I want you to feel confident, knowing that you were part of every decision made during that experience. It is mind-blowing what a body is capable of when you learn to fully trust it. This is what hypnobirthing is about. I can’t wait to help you and your partner write your positive birth stories, and I am looking forward to a new generation of hypnobabies!
