Felicity is a mum of three girls, aged eleven, nine and seven.

Yoga and Hypnobirthing were her outlet both during and post pregnancy, carving out special time for her and her husband Tom, and their babies, before and after they were born.

Practicing enabled her to have the pregnancy and birth experiences that she hoped for. Now it is her passion to help others in these precious moments.

With nine years focusing specifically on prenatal & postnatal yoga, (plus having three of her own babies), Felicity has a deep understanding and knowledge of the various stages of a mother’s journey. She is able to empathise with the physical and mental challenges through pregnancy, but also celebrate the beauty of the bump, and the exciting transformation towards motherhood.

Being firm believers in removing the noise and confusion inciting fear around birth, Felicity and her husband sought Hypnobirthing in the UK, where their eldest daughter was born.

The course they discovered instilled in them positivity, confidence, empowerment, and ultimately, trust in the birthing process.

They used these tools through each birth, which led Felicity to become a certified Hypnobirthing Australia™ practitioner, teaching the “Positive Birth Program” on their return to Australia. The course resonated with them thanks to its primary focus on achieving a positive birth experience, regardless of how a baby arrives into the world.

Felicity has now created the Avocado Baby Birth Classes, as well as continuing to teach refresher courses of the Hypnobirthing Australia™ program.

Felicity completed her birth doula training in 2025 with the incredible Rhea Dempsey, now attending the births of many expecting parents. She holds Mothers Circles, with a focus on Matrescence; the profound physical, psychological, social and hormonal transition a woman experiences when becoming a mother.
