From real clients, unfiltered and unedited. These words mean everything.
I am so so grateful to Leanne for all her support as our doula — from the advocacy to the communication in the run up to birth, and being there on the day. Her advice was absolutely invaluable, and being our biggest cheerleader! Honestly feeling on top of the world, everything went exactly how we hoped — after a 30…
Leanne is an incredible hypnobirthing teacher. She was recommended to us by several midwives and we are so glad we had sessions with her. The information she was able to give us around birth, our options, what we can do to prepare has been invaluable. We really appreciated her unbiased, evidence based approach, which…
I highly recommend Leanne's pregnancy yoga and parent and baby yoga classes. From pregnancy through to postpartum, I always felt supported, and Leanne's knowledge and warmth shine through in every session. The parent and baby yoga classes were especially helpful when my husband went back to work. Having somewhere to…
I'll be honest, I didn't think I wanted or needed a doula. I didn't really know what one was or what they did. My sister hired Leanne and I was lucky enough to be alongside her supporting my sister's birth. First hand, I saw how effortlessly she held space, supported, kept everything peaceful yet moving along. Her…
As a birth partner, I found Leanne's hypnobirthing classes extremely helpful in building my confidence and understanding of the birth process. The course was a brilliant educational resource overall, and Leanne's knowledge and experience really shone through. She was also able to tailor the sessions to our specific…
I have taken my little girl along to Leanne's baby yoga classes for the past few months. Both of us have loved attending, and I would recommend the group to anyone. Leanne is such a supportive and kind person, and the classes are chilled, no pressure of any kind. I'm only disappointed that I did not discover her…
Stories from real births
A collection of positive birth stories shared by my clients, in their own words — every birth, every path, every outcome is valid.
Britt's Homebirth
Britt planned a water birth, then chose home. She declined an induction, laboured through the night with Rich massaging her back, and met Lexie in the pool in her own front room.
Read Britt's story →Hannah's FMU Birth
Told at a routine appointment she was already 4cm and in active labour, Hannah went home instead. She and Gary arrived at Melton at 8cm and met Arlo in the pool that evening.
Read Hannah's story →Emma's Positive Induction
Emma planned a home birth. Reduced movements the day before her due date changed everything — and she still describes the induction that followed as magic.
Read Emma's story →Stacie's Hospital Birth
Stacie booked a home birth. Her waters broke two weeks early and the plan changed to induction, epidural and theatre — and she and Nick stayed in control of every step of it.

“Yeh, whatever you like” — Tom’s honest account of going from barely looking up from dinner to being the leader of the room, and what dads can actually do.
Read Tom's story →Amy's Positive Induction
Diagnosed with cholestasis at 39 weeks and booked for induction, Amy’s body started without the hospital’s help — and the midwives followed her birth plan to the letter.
Read Amy's story →Hannah's Water Birth
Told she needed an early induction with no medical reason behind it, Hannah declined — and four days later her labour started on its own. She caught Reid herself in the pool.
