In this week's episode I speak with Shari Lyon. Shari is one of Australia’s leading and most sought after Hypnobirthing Practitioners and Childbirth Educators. Shari’s passion is to support women and birth partners through pregnancy to help them prepare for a positive birth.

Hypnobirthing is an independent childbirth education program and aims to provide you with knowledge, support, tools and techniques to help you prepare for a positive birth, no matter how your baby comes into the world.

This conversation was so empowering. I love the topic of birth, and being able to dive into the power of hypnobirthing with this wonderful educator was such an honour.
