SoundBirth in Perth offers private sessions and workshops for expectant couples, helping you prepare for birth in a calm, connected, and supported way.
Imagine stepping into your birthing experience feeling calm, confident, and deeply connected — to yourself, your partner, and your baby.

You can experience SoundBirth through:
Private 1:1 sessions - personalised support tailored to you
Workshops for expectant couples - a shared and guided group experience
In these sessions, you’ll learn simple, practical tools to reduce tension, stay grounded, and work together as a team during birth.
The SoundBirth Story
SoundBirth began during the birth of my third baby in 2009.
My mum had intuitively started playing one of my crystal singing bowls, which had been sitting quietly in the corner of the room.
At that point, my contractions were becoming more intense…
and I could feel the urge to make sound - to moan, to release -
but I felt embarrassed.
There were people in the room… my midwife, my husband, my friend, my mum…
and I found myself holding back.
I had felt this same self-consciousness during my previous births too.
But the moment I heard the sound of the bowl… something shifted.
Almost instantly, I began to use my voice more freely -
and with that came a deep sense of relief.
The room seemed to fade away.
All that existed was the sound…
and the experience of co-creating that sound with the bowl.
Then the contraction passed - and the sound faded with it.
I couldn’t believe the difference in how I felt…
less anxiety, less tension, more presence.
From that moment on, I asked for the bowl to be played through every contraction - for the next 5 hours.
And again, during my fourth birth, my birth team took turns playing the bowl… this time for over 30 hours.
That sound held me.
It guided me.
It gave me something to move with.
And it changed the way I experienced birth.
From that experience, I knew I had to begin sharing this with other women.
Since then, SoundBirth has been used by doulas, midwives, partners, and families - in homes and hospitals - to support women through labour with sound, presence, and connection.
SoundBirth Will Teach You and Your Partner How to:
Find Your Birth Voice
Learn how to use your voice to feel more calm, safe, and connected during labour.
Together, you’ll explore how sound can help you:
release tension during contractions
stay present in your body
move through each wave with more confidence
We gently work through any hesitation or self-consciousness around using your voice, so you can feel comfortable expressing sound - no matter who is in the room.
Give Your Partner a Bowl
Experience the calming and grounding vibrations of a crystal singing bowl.
Your partner (or support person) will learn how to play the bowl in a simple, intuitive way - supporting you to stay connected to your voice throughout labour.
The sound becomes something you share.
A steady presence.
A point of focus.
A way to stay connected to each other through each contraction.
For many partners, this is a powerful shift - from not knowing how to help… to feeling calm, confident, and actively involved in the birth experience.
Beyond Birth: Music for Bonding
SoundBirth doesn’t end with labour.
It becomes something you can carry into those first precious days… and beyond.
In this part of the session, you’ll be guided to create your own “Heart Song” - a simple, personal melody that you can begin singing to your baby during pregnancy.
This becomes a familiar sound your baby already knows…
a thread of connection between the womb and the world.
After birth, your Heart Song can be used to:
soothe your baby
create a sense of safety and familiarity
support emotional connection between you, your baby, and your partner
You’ll also receive gentle guidance on how to use music and sound in everyday moments - to calm, connect, and support your growing family.
A 20-Minute Sound Journey
Sink into a state of deep relaxation as you are guided through a 20-minute SoundBirth journey to close your session.
Let your body soften…
your breath slow…
and your mind gently settle.
This is your time to simply receive.
Together, you’ll experience how sound can:
calm the nervous system
bring your awareness back into your body
create a sense of safety and stillness
For many couples, this becomes one of the most memorable parts of the session - a moment of quiet connection before meeting your baby.
It also offers a glimpse into how sound can support you during labour… helping you return to calm, even in more intense moments.
What Couples Are Saying
FAQs
Do I need any singing or musical experience?
1
Not at all.
This isn’t about singing “well” - it’s about using your natural voice in a way that feels supportive and grounding in your body.
You’ll be gently guided, and there’s no pressure to perform in any way.
Does my partner need to attend?
2
Partners are strongly encouraged to attend.
SoundBirth is something you experience together, and your partner will learn simple, practical ways to support you during labour - helping them feel calm, confident, and involved.
What if I feel shy or self-conscious using my voice?
3
This is very common — and completely welcome.
Many women feel this way at first. We create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your voice gently and at your own pace.
Can I still use SoundBirth if I’m having a hospital birth?
4
Yes.
SoundBirth can be used in home births, birth centres, and hospitals. The tools you learn are simple, adaptable, and supportive in any environment.
When is the best time in pregnancy to attend?
5
Anytime from around 20 weeks onward is ideal.
This gives you time to practice and become familiar with the techniques before labour.
What’s the difference between a 1:1 session and a workshop?
6
1:1 sessions are personalised and tailored specifically to you and your partner.
Workshops are a beautiful, shared experience with other expectant couples, where you’ll be guided through the same core tools in a group setting.
Both offer valuable preparation - it simply depends on what feels right for you.
Will this help with pain during labour?
7
SoundBirth supports the body to relax, release tension, and stay present - which can naturally reduce the perception of pain.
Many women find that using their voice and sound gives them something to focus on and move with during contractions.
Do we get to use the bowl ourselves?
8
Yes.
In both sessions and workshops, your partner will learn how to play the bowl in a simple and intuitive way so you can experience using sound together. You will have the option to hire or purchase your own bowl after the workshop.
