Brin McCaskie

Hello, I’m Brin

I’m a Registered Nurse & Midwife, Calmbirth Educator and proud Mumma of one baby girl.

I’ve worked in so many different areas of public and private health and have always been passionate about educating women (and patients) to help them feel empowered to make informed health choices, but it wasn’t until I walked the pregnancy and birth journey personally and became a mum myself that I fully understood how knowledge becomes your superpower in pregnancy, birth and parenthood.

So I became a Calmbirth Educator so I can truly support women and their partners or birth supporters to feel informed, calm, confident, capable and genuinely prepared for birth and parenthood (and yes, even for the unpredictable bits). My hope is that you can walk away from labour & birth and step into parenthood feeling powerful and empowered no matter how or where birth unfolds.

My goal as a Calmbirth Educator is to help you replace any worries or fears with knowledge, trust, confidence and practical tools to help you work with your mind and body – such as breathing techniques, relaxation skills, visualisation, massage & acupressure techniques, loving support and so much more…

My Calmbirth courses offer a welcoming, inclusive and supportive space for you and your partner/birth supporters to slow down, tune inward, build confidence together, feel held and nurtured in your unique journey – with hopefully lots of questions answered and a few laughs along the way.

Some Fun facts about me are:

• I am an IVF child to two amazing mums, so I have a deep love and respect for all types of family dynamics.
• I used to think the hardest thing I ever did was hike the Kokoda Trail… until I became a mum, which is now my greatest achievement and it will be yours too!
• I am a country girl at heart, and in my spare time I enjoy horse-riding, hiking, yoga, scuba-diving and occasionally riding motorbikes… pretty badly. I’ll give almost anything a red-hot crack haha.
• I still get super excited, proud and a bit teary occasionally witnessing women powerfully birthing either vaginally or belly birthing (caesareans), as every birth is so unique and beautiful, and it still gives me all the feels.

I firmly believe that with the right knowledge, confidence builds — and it’s confidence & calm that changes birth experiences.

I can’t wait to help you prepare for the momentous and transformational Calmbirth of your baby.
