Meet Midwife Donna
Hi, I’m Donna.
I’m the founder of Modern Childbirth Co., a Registered Midwife, Hypnobirthing Australia Practitioner™, wife, and mum to four.
After more than 10 years supporting women through pregnancy, birth and early parenthood, one thing has become clear to me: every woman deserves to feel informed, confident and genuinely supported as she prepares to meet her baby.
As both a midwife and a mum, I know that birth is about so much more than how your baby arrives. It’s about feeling heard, making informed choices, and walking into birth with confidence—not fear.
That’s why I created Modern Childbirth Co. to provide warm, evidence-based birth education that helps you feel calm, prepared and empowered, whatever your birth journey looks like.
I’d love to be part of your journey and help you and your birth partner prepare for one of life’s most incredible experiences.
I can’t wait to meet you.
xx Donna
Why join our hypnobirthing birth classes
Hypnobirthing can sound a bit “Hippie”, but it is so much more than that...
Hypnobirthing is a philosophy of birthing, as well as learning evidence based techniques that can give you the knowledge, tools, support and the necessary preparation to have a calm, positive and empowered birth.
Each and every birth is unique and even the best made plans can change. With the skills and techniques taught, you will be able to remain in control leading to a calm and positive birth regardless of mode of delivery.
When we are prepared with the right knowledge and education about the birth process, birth can be an empowering experience.
Knowledge is Power!

What if things don't go to plan?
Ahh Plans! We all make them however we all know plans can sometimes change!
At Modern Childbirth Co. we believe a positive birth is about a positive mindset with the skill and knowledge to be able to cope with change. Being empowered with knowledge will allow you and your birth partner to understand when and why plans may need to change. We will give you the confidence to ask questions.
All the skills and techniques taught throughout the course are transferrable regardless of the type of delivery you may have.

Stories From Our Parents
'I had a very positive birth experience, whilst it didn’t go to plan having completed the course with Donna provided me with the tools to work through my labour and ask questions when plans changed.
I cannot recommend her services enough. I value that she is also a Registered Midwife as this meant that she delivered the material in a well-balanced, informative way to ensure that we were prepared for all scenarios and how to manage these effectively and calmy.
I can say confidently, I would have struggled to remain focused, relaxed and present if i did not complete this course.
Lastly her warm nature is so comforting and when the time came to have my baby, seeing her face in the birth suites, made me feel immediately safe”.

'Both Mark and I values the class you have provided. It gave us the knowledge and insite to be able to decide on our birth preferences and allowed us to go into the birth knowing what to expect, how to manage both the expected and unexpected. The was Donna taught the course was fantastic. Having open and honest conversations and providing real life examples really helped educate us. It made us feel comfortable and curious at the same time. This allowed us to get the most out of the class.
Thank you very much for your guidance and knowledge.'

'We just wanted to let you know that we welcomed our beautiful daughter Emily on Tuesday morning!
We had as close to a perfect labour and birth that we could have hoped for! My waters broke at about 6pm on the Monday night (my due date) and we went into hospital for antibiotics due to me being GBS positive. We were able to get 8 hourly antibiotics so we could go home again, but I was already having tightenings by the time we left and using my TENS machine. At home the surges increased quickly and we played the hypnobirthing tracks on repeat. At around 3am we headed back to hospital and the midwife checked me and couldn’t believe I was fully dilated! So they quickly called the OB and student midwife and I started pushing just before 4am, using my TENS and birth comb. Matt set up the room with our birthing affirmations and lights and really helped me with ‘climbing up the mountain’ each surge. Due to Emily having her hand up by her head, I needed an episiotomy to get her head out, but then was able to pull her out onto my chest at 6:18am. I can’t believe how well it all went and that I didn’t need any pain relief!
Since then, Emily has been our little angel and is feeding and sleeping well and we are definitely in such a love bubble!
Thank you so much for delivering such a fantastic hypnobirthing course, it helped us so much and contributed to such a successful birth for us.'
