These parents did hypnobirthing with Gemma
This is what they had to say about it...
Aisha & Richard
"Prior to enrolling into Gemma’s hypnobirthing course I felt quite anxious and scared when I thought about my upcoming birth. I have come away from the course feeling empowered with knowledge, confident about my choices, armed with a new mindset towards birth and assured that my birth partner knows how they can best support me. I feel really positive about giving birth as a result of this course and for that reason alone I strongly recommend giving hypnobirthing with Gemma a try!"
Kim & Owen
“Completing the hypnobirthing course with Gemma was the best decision we made. Everything we learned on the course really helped to prepare us and make sure that we felt comfortable throughout the birth. It was invaluable to us and ultimately helped us to have a very positive birth experience."
Delia & Markus
"We absolutely recommend hypnobirthing in general and learning with Gemma specifically. She is a very lovely person, teaching from the heart and listening to your personal and individual needs."
Feel confident about birth
Stay calm, in control and relaxed
Make choices that feel right for you and your baby
The hypnobirthing course was the best thing we did during pregnancy!
From our very first session we started to feel more confident and able to make well informed decisions and advocate for ourselves. There is a lot of misinformation and scary stories around birth but through completing the hypnobirth course we are now approaching our birth with excitement, confidence and feeling like a real team. Gemma has given us a practical toolkit to use in birth and beyond and we can't thank her enough.

What is hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is a powerful and logical type of birth prep.
​
It's about helping you feel confident, calm and in control during labour even if things don't exactly go to plan.
​​
​
Suitable for hospital, birth centre and home births hypnobirthing can transform your birth into a calm and positive experience, no matter how your baby is born.

Hello! I'm Gemma!
Welcome to my website. My name is Gemma Struzena. I'm a certified hypnobirthing specialist, founder of Mind and Body Birthing and (most importantly) a proud mum of two.
​
Having used hypnobirthing for the births of my own children and supported many women and birth partners worldwide with my 5 star, recommended hypnobirthing classes, I truly believe it's the best kind of birth prep you can do.
​
Hypnobirthing is more than simply learning how to breathe and relax during labour. It's empowering, life-changing and can really help transform your birth.

We finished the course feeling calmer, more confident, and genuinely prepared for birth.
We came away not only with incredible tools and knowledge, but also with thoughtful questions to take to our midwife and new ideas to explore further. As a birth partner, I now feel equipped to support and advocate for my wife and we're excited to go into this experience together as a team.
