Hannah Lynch
Myotherapist & Founder
Hi, I’m Hannah — a women’s health Myotherapist, remedial massage therapist, mum of two, and the founder of Birthing Body AU. I’m deeply passionate about supporting women through Pregnancy Massage, Pregnancy Myotherapy, birth preparation, C-Section Scar Therapy, postpartum recovery, and women’s health care at every stage of life.
My own journey into motherhood changed everything. It gave me a much deeper understanding of how much women carry physically, mentally, and emotionally — especially while navigating pregnancy, recovery, parenting, work, and the ongoing demands of everyday life. I experienced firsthand how often women are expected to simply “push through” discomfort, tension, exhaustion, Back Pain, Pelvic Girdle Pain, and the constant changes happening within their bodies.
But I believe you deserve more than just coping.
That’s why my work is centred around creating a calm, supportive space where you feel listened to, cared for, and understood. Whether you’re seeking support for Pregnancy Pelvic Pain, Sciatica Pain, muscle tension, postural strain, birth recovery, or general movement and wellbeing, every treatment is tailored to your body, your symptoms, and what you need support with on the day.
Using a combination of myotherapy, remedial massage, soft tissue therapy, pregnancy massage, and movement-focused care, my goal is to help reduce pain, improve movement, and support you in feeling more comfortable and connected to your body again.
At Birthing Body AU, care is about more than simply treating symptoms — it’s about supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, recovery, movement, and everyday life with a gentle, evidence-informed, and holistic approach.
