Serene Start by Orla

At Serene Start by Orla, I offer hypnobirthing and baby massage classes, taught by a fellow hypnobirthing mum. Inspired by my own empowering birth experiences, I’m passionate about helping parents feel calm, confident, and prepared for parenthood.

Hypnobirthing Australia™ focuses on preparing both the mind and body for birth.

Through education and the practice of various techniques, we work together to reduce fear and foster a positive mindset around labour and birth.

The course covers breathing techniques, light touch massage, acupressure, vocalisation, deep relaxation, visualisation, and self-hypnosis.

These tools help you stay calm and relaxed, promoting the release of hormones that reduce discomfort during labour and birth.

Baby Massage

Baby massage is a gentle and nurturing practice that offers a wide range of benefits for both babies and parents. It can help ease common discomforts like wind, colic, and constipation by supporting healthy digestion. Regular massage promotes deeper, more restful sleep by calming the nervous system and creating a sense of security. It also strengthens the bond between parent and baby through loving touch and connection. In addition, baby massage supports circulation, muscle tone, and sensory development, helping babies become more aware of their bodies as they grow.
