25.01.2022 Just updating course details for this Sunday's Hypnobirthing Aus Class. Unusually, there's space for one more Mum and birth partner. Get in contact ASAP if you'd like to join us on Sunday and Sunday March 15. I'd love to help you prepare for birth no matter what turn it takes. Also, only 3 spots left for May classes

23.01.2022 Hypnobirthing Aus classes via Zoom today, waiting to meet 4 lovely Mums to be and their partners. Happy Mothers Day everyone and to all those on their very first Mothers Days Hoping that we can do our second day of May group face to face, but lovely to be connecting via Zoom today, to be sharing this positive way of birthing

22.01.2022 The many faces of self care - it's not all bubble baths and manicures, but they are good! Self is learning to look after yourself, prioritise your needs and learning to accept yourself just the way you are. Taking time out regularly, just for you, doing something you love, whatever that is, is an important step for your mental health everyday

22.01.2022 How is it to be pregnant during #COVID 19? Are you ok?

18.01.2022 This beautiful vaginal breech birth at the Royal Hobart Hospital, shared by a wonderful Mumma on the Friends of Homebirth Hobart group, with permission. A breech birth isn't always an immediate caesarean... Breech Birth Story:... *This is not a homebirth story, however I wanted to share it here in the hopes that it reaches future mamas with a late breech baby who are seeking birth options* Little bub joined us earthside at 2:08am on 4/6/20 after 32 hours of labour. She entered the world by natural breech birth under the amazing guidance of specialist Dr Steve Sonneveld, supported by the MGP midwives. Our world was turned on its head when at 39 weeks we found out that baby was upside down. From the moment that the scan was confirmed, we were blasted through a rollercoaster of shocked looks from obstetricians, doors rapidly being shut, and experiencing the institutional fear of natural breech birth in the hospital culture. We were initially told that a natural birth was not an option that the RHH offered as none of the doctors would deliver breech, and that a cesarian would be necessary. After spending two nights lying upside down on ironing boards and jiggling to encourage baby to spin, we attempted an ECV; a painful manual baby flip to no avail. Meanwhile, the MGP midwives - who were wonderful advocates - sought permission from hospital management to engage Dr Sonneveld, a private obstetrician and breech specialist, to attend the birth there. When we entered his office the day after the ECV and heard his calm words I really don’t know what all the fuss is about breech births, the fear melted away and we knew that we were in the best of hands. During labour in hospital, obstetricians came and went expressing concern over my situation and slow labour, yet Dr Sonneveld showed relaxed encouragement throughout, and told me that everything was going perfectly. I really don’t know how I would have made it without those words. I was 8cm dilated when Dr Sonneveld arrived. He pricked my remaining in tact waters, and the moment he stepped out of the room, I screamed from the depths of the earth as my body started pushing the baby out. With some deft handwork and 5 more one last pushes, Amber was whisked out and away from me. Amber has been thriving since we came home, and we are so relieved and grateful that we were able to birth her naturally. I hope that our experience can contribute just a little to a shift in hospital culture, and to widen the awareness of breech birth options in Tasmania."

16.01.2022 Do you listen to Australian birth Stories? Listen to Melissa Spilsteds birth stories. Also, listeners can obtain a 20% discount on the online Hypnobubs course You can do the online course and also book a 90 min individual online session with me, to tailor it to your own needs. Also, I'm running the normal group Hypnobirthing Au class in May, but it will be via an online platform, due to obvious reasons. ... Online platforms actually work very well and it's going to be our reality for quite a while...

16.01.2022 Please share with your psychology friends :D

16.01.2022 So glad my Positive Birth folios arrived in time for my class on Sunday @hypnobirthingaustralia The post is taking a lot longer, for obvious reasons. Super grateful to be running my class face to face this time too. I'm so passionate about helping mothers and birth partners have positive birth experiences and also to heal from past birth trauma. I'm heartened to see how popular classes are now in comparison with when I first started in 2013. Fast forward to 2020 and the...re are more 3 Positive Birth program facilitators in Hobart and my classes consistently are at full capacity. So many couples wanting to take charge of their experience and learning ways to cope with birth and learn skills that help for the lifespan actually 3 spots left for September Then I'll be taking a break for a bit!

16.01.2022 #Repost @workingmummacommunity (@get_repost) On the latest episode of the Working Mumma podcast I speak with Sarah Purvey @sarahpurveypsychologist , a Clini...cal Psychologist, practice owner of Eastern Shore Psychology, author of Keep Sane and Parent On, Positive Birth Program Facilitator and mother to a 6 yo and 4yo girls. We recorded this podcast in early July 2020 prior to the current outbreak of covid-19 in Melbourne. It is very timely and has many hints and tips for people that might be experiencing anxiety during this time. If this episode is a trigger for you, please contact Beyond Blue, COPE, a psychologist or your GP to assist. As you will hear it is a strength to seek help and not a weakness. During this episode Sarah and I discuss: * Sarah's family set up with her husband as a stay at home dad * Defining anxiety * What can we do if we recognise if we are experiencing anxiety - self helps and seeking help strategies are discussed * Managing anxiety during covid-19 * Sharing the mental load between couples and how important this is especially for new parents and ongoing when raising children * Striving for being a "good enough" parent rather than perfect * Managing mum guilt when returning to work after maternity leave * Managing expectations of new mum during parenting journey There is a lot covered in this episode and I hope you enjoy everything we discuss. If you are in Melbourne this episode might be of extra interest given the current stage 4 lockdown measures. I'm in this with you and hope you and your family stay safe. This episode has helped me since we recorded it and I hope it helps you as well. Not only during covid-19 but also when we return to our "new normal". Listen in your favourite podcast catcher" This was great to record with Carina @workingmummacommunity and very timely now given the increased restrictions for #melbourne parents now Remember you can join me semi regularly via email for therapy pep talks, my version of a quick mindfulness strategy over at the link in bio and my Essential Online Guide to Keeping Sane for Parents is on its way in the next couple of weeks You can hear it on Spotify here... or on your fave podcast app. Let me know what you think!! https://open.spotify.com/episode/0rdooIA0tpnQRcOaEYlYGm

15.01.2022 Selfies with the lovely Hypnobirthing couples today I had a ball and proved again that I can literally talk all day about birth And that Hypnobirthing Aus classes work great via Zoom! All the same content and techniques and with the chance to relax at home on the couch or bed!

14.01.2022 Oh this is such wonderful news

14.01.2022 How are you feeling about pregnancy, birth and becoming a parent for the first time or again? Excited? Overwhelmed? Uncertain? Anxious? Can't wait!? All of the ...above? I'd love to help you have a positive birth and embrace the joy and challenge in pregnancy, birth and parenting, particularly in this difficult COVID-19 time. It's more important than ever to stay connected with each other and be as prepared as you can, for birth. I'm Sarah Purvey, a Clinical Psychologist, Hypnobirthing Australia Practitioner, published author of Keep Sane and Parent On and Clinic Director of Eastern Shore Psychology. I'm a passionate advocate for mothers, during pregnancy, birth and well and truly beyond. I believe that the start to parenting, starts with pregnancy. Starting with an empowered birth does set you up to navigate parenting with more confidence and the best chance to trust your instinct as a parent/ In fact, my number one birth and parenting tip, is to trust yourself and tune out to everyone else who offers their unsolicited advice or anything that makes you feel bad! I'm here to tell you that birth can be a transformative experience (in a good way). No matter how your birth goes, you can use knowledge, power, psychology tools to stay relaxed and focussed (like visualisation, breathing, relaxation, meditation, hypnosis), and the cultivation of a support team (your birth partner, perhaps a doula and great caregivers) to help you to navigate the twists and the turns that birth will inevitably take. Join me on this journey where I give you all my tips, my personal experience, my knowledge, sharing of experiences of other mothers and my Hypnobirthing expertise to help you have a positive birth, to set you up for a confident start to parenting. Contact me now for more info and head over to www.sarahpurvey.com.au to sign up for a free Pregnancy Relaxation MP3, to help you chill out during pregnancy. And I'd love to see you at my next Group Hypnobirthing Australia Class, taking bookings now. **NEXT CLASS in July Sold Out and 4 spots left for September** FACE TO FACE CLASSES BACK! www.sarahpurvey.com.au

13.01.2022 Reach out for support, join online groups, seek a psychology zoom session, organise a Mum group online. Hang in there to those Mums in iso

11.01.2022 https://www.easternshorepsychology.com/your-ultimate-guide- I'm guessing that if your anything like me, your to do list is as a Mum, is fricking enormous, right? Your mind is busy. Even when you're actually trying to take a rest, it's a battle with the part of you that just wants to get all those jobs done and the other very important part of you, who is SOOOOOOO TIRED. ... And there's that old nag, guilt. It rarely gets in the back seat does it? What would you do more of if that mental chatter wasn't there? Maybe you could be ok with lowering your expectations. Maybe you could prioritise your need to rest or do whatever it is, that helps you chill or just plain have fun. And just how do you cope with the screaming or the sensory overload, the constant chatter, the being pulled in 50 different directions, while trying to do just one thing. Is that when angry Mum comes out? Or is that at bedtime or both?! And let me ask you, when the last time you had fun with your partner was? *crickets* Mix all of the above thoroughly with a dose of home schooling, limited family or friend support, a loss of your identity and limited access to your normal coping resources, in the midst of a global pandemic and possibly a second wave = One overwhelmed parent I'd really love to help you with all that with my new online program launching tomorrow. Hurry, sign ups until midnight tonight. If you sign up by then, you can interact with me - ask me questions, after that. The videos will be locked in as self study program. It's jam packed either way tho

11.01.2022 There you go - pickles and sauerkraut for mastitis! I love sauerkraut so much I literally just eat it straight from the jar, shame I'm not breastfeeding anymore :D

09.01.2022 In fact, making mistakes is how we learn. If you're keen for personal growth, then you'll have to learn to accept that making mistakes is part of making a change. For parents, would you tell your kids they need to be perfect? Nope. It's ok to make mistakes. Learning self compassion is a key to being ok with making mistakes. If you haven't grabbed a copy of my compassionate hand MP3 yet, give me your email and I'll send it to you. Plus my two tips for coping with irritabilit...y and a propensity to yell PS doors closing to my Ultimate Online Guide to Keeping Sane for Parents tonight!!! Otherwise, you'll be waiting another who knows how long! Link in bio too

05.01.2022 So it's not good news to hear that the hospitals have cancelled their antenatal classes. I totally get why. However, Mums (and birth partners) will need to prepare now more than ever. The hospital system is going to be under more pressure over the coming months (actually I'd love to hear from midwives about how COVID19 may effect the maternity system. Anyhow, we at Hypnobirthing Aus are prepped for online services and just finished up a group class with some couples at my o...ffice and others joining in online. We also have an online Hypnobubs program, for those who can't attend a group. It's been so busy this year already, that May is completely booked for groups and I've started turning people away. Any takers for an online group class via Zoom in April? I'm taking expressions of interest now. Let me know ASAP and I'll send you some details. There are many benefits to online group classes, you can stay comfy at home and still be highly interactive (if you choose to) It's looking more and more likely that Hypnobirthing group classes will need to run online now anyway, as it's difficult to keep a 1.5 m distance Let me know if you're keen! And there's always Hypnobubs Online, if you don't want a group class

05.01.2022 It's never back to square 1. Whenever you feel like you've gone back a few steps or even hit rock bottom, there's just more lessons to learn. Or maybe you just ...need to learn the same lesson again. Repetition is the mother of all learning after all So if you're feeling like you've stopped exercising for months, you've stopped meditating, you've stopped communicating, you've dropped out of whatever you know you need to do more of. Just admit it. Start small and start again, right now. And for parents, if you're struggling, if you've dropped your bundle, haven't looked after yourself in weeks or months, heck even years, I'd love to see you join me in my new "Ultimate Online Guide to Keeping Sane for Parents." 6 interactive sessions with me, (if you sign up by Aug 24, after that, it will be a self study course) 3 mp3s, 6 worksheets and a free copy of my Keep Sane and Parent On ebook. To help you drop guilt, to ensure you prioritise looking after you, to ease the irritability, to enhance your relationships with your kids, your partner and most importantly, with yourself. Head over to the Eastern Shore Psychology website to join up. You can start with a little free MP3, my version of mindfulness of breath to help you reboot tonight over at the link website too I'm off to reboot too. I'm about to put my feet up and practice what i preach #keepsaneandparenton

04.01.2022 When should you seek professional support for postnatal depression/anxiety/trauma? Here are some suggestions. But really whenever you feel like you need it, is a good rule of thumb. There's no such thing as being too cautious in seeking help. Reach out, talk, seek support and don't wait to hit rock bottom #pandaweek

04.01.2022 Some helpful tips for partners

03.01.2022 Oh i love this!!!

02.01.2022 Looking after yourself isn't selfish. It's simply survival. If you're not doing it, you need to. There isn't another strategy or something else you should be doing before it. Start small regularly (see my previous post) and work your way up to bigger acts of self care. For post natal depression and anxiety, it's paramount. And it can feel insurmountable or unachievable.... It won't look anything like it did before you had kids. But as I said. Start small and accept it's necessary for survival, let alone, thriving. I'll posting each day with postnatal depression/anxiety themes, for #pandaweek

01.01.2022 Mums, it's ok not to be perfect. You don't have to get it all right and I guarantee you're doing an amazing job. Some of my ponderings are.. you're doing absolutely nothing wrong if you're baby isn't sleeping well. Cuddling babies is always good for them Don't forget about yourself, you're doing an incredible job keeping your baby alive, loved and nurtured, so don't forget your tank needs filling too Your life will be filled with more meaning and purpose, even though many... more challenges exist Embrace imperfection, no parent knows what the heck they're doing. Even if you think the Mum down the road has it altogether, I Guarantee you, she doesn't. Let's lift each other up, pat ourselves on the back, parenting is the hardest job in the world. And no one has ever parented your child before, so you're the person that is the best one for the job. Look after yourself and cuddle your babes, toddlers, kids, teens and adults (if they'll let you ) Oh and if you're in #hobart make sure you celebrate parenting with me at my @fullersbookshop on Thu Mar 12 and the ebook launch and online offerings, plus my hard copy book #keepsaneandparenton

01.01.2022 And this 100% relates to birth What he needs is a good smack You should just leave him to cry If you don’t do this, he’ll be so spoiled... You can’t keep giving him what he wants She’s manipulating you Don’t give her so much attention You’ll turn him into a Mummy’s boy Why don’t you try xyz Have you thought about this You let her get away with too much Children need to know who is boss Don’t let her sleep in your bed, whatever you do Are you STILL breastfeeding? Don’t you think she’s too old for that? So many people have strong opinions about parenting don’t they? Family members, friends, strangers. People like to offer their opinion. Well guess what, you can have your own strong opinion too. It’s ok that it is the polar opposite to what everyone else around you is doing. It’s ok if people in your life don’t approve. You don’t need approval. You only need to parent your child, the best way you see fit. What is your child’s personality? What is your personality like? What is your partner’s personality like? Start there. What works for your child? What are your triggers for anger, guilt or sadness in parenting? Work on those. What information resonates with you? Go with that What information doesn’t resonate with you or makes you feel bad, for all the wrong reasons? Don’t go with that Drop perfection Aim for unconditional love for your child and make sure they know it. See more
