Calm, Stress-Free and Empowered Birth Experiences

New Beginnings Birth

Hi, I'm Lindsay Hollingsworth, owner of New Beginnings Birth!

For the last 15 years, my passion has been supporting women and their partners to become empowered during pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.

As a Certified HypnoBirthing® Practitioner and Doula, I’m confident I can help you to have a better birth experience, which will flow into a more rewarding parenting experience.

If you're in Canberra and are pregnant or a new mother, I'd love to see you at my classes!

What My Clients Say

We're Far More Prepared

“Lindsay is a very kind hearted, knowledgeable, and educated woman! We loved attending the HypnoBirthing® course, and have learnt so so much. We are far more prepared for the birth we envision, and that is thanks to Lindsay and her course.”

- Brooke, NSW

I Feel So Calm And Confident!

"Thank you Lindsay for all of your advice and support. People commented on how calm and confident and comfortable I seemed leading up to birthing. I think having the right information and practising the relaxation and affirmations you taught us in the HypnoBirthing® classes made all the difference."

- Katy, Canberra

Informative - We Learnt A Lot!

"Lindsay’s kind and caring manner framed everything about birth positively, which aligned with our beliefs and values. Lindsay went above and beyond to ensure every participant felt informed and supported, never rushing us through the content or questions we had. Thank you Lindsay!"

- Tessa Wood

We're Feeling Excited And Positive!

"Absolutely loved our HypnoBirthing® classes with Lindsay! She's so lovely, the classes are informative and it put my partner and I in such a positive and excited mind frame leading up to the birth of our little one. Highly recommended for both first time and consecutive births!"

- Sharni Lauren

We Celebrated Our Empowered Birth!

Lindsay gave us back the power to birth the way we wanted, to heal ourselves from the trauma of our first birth. She gave us the strategies to manage those triggered feelings during our birthing moments, to stay present with each other and to be compassionate. Thank you, Lindsay, for your love, support, honesty and endless cheerleading."
