Sue Power
Calmbirth® childbirth classes
Sue is the mother of two children, a registered nurse and midwife and calmbirth® practitioner. She has worked with infants and their families in the hospital setting for over 17 years, completing her midwifery training in Sydney in 2001.
Since the birth of her children, Sue has continued to work part time in the public sector as a midwife and has also attended homebirths. Through her continuing work as a midwife she has witnessed how fear and anxiety can negatively affect the birthing experience, but also how birth can be empowering and an experience to cherish.
Sue is passionate about the need for greater choice in maternity services for women and their families in Victoria and Australia and through the calmbirth® philosophy and her midwifery knowledge, she hopes that women are able to feel confident to make informed decisions around their birth choices. She believes that by having confidence and by learning to trust their bodies, women are able to bring their babies into the world calmly and joyfully and to experience birth as a wondrous, profound and life changing event.
Sue has been teaching couples the techniques of simple relaxation, visualisation and breathing since the birth of her first child in 2005 and has seen the effects that a positive pregnancy and rewarding birth experience can have on a woman and her family, and especially the newborn baby.
The experience of giving birth to her two children was incredibly positive and brought Sue to a greater realisation that birth can be both empowering and personally transformative. Having used the relaxation and breathing techniques for both of her pregnancies and births, Sue is passionate about assisting women to understand their birthing bodies and to find within themselves the resources necessary for reducing fear and to be able to birth more comfortably and with greater satisfaction.
Details of the next Calmbirth® classes will follow shortly.
