Supportive Caregivers Course
This special intensive training is COMING SOON and is specifically designed to equip caregivers with an understanding of the hypnobirthing philosophy, language and tools that you can utilise in your very important role of supporting birthing mothers and families.
Supportive Caregivers Training
We are all working with the same goal in mind – to help birthing mothers and babies achieve a safe and positive birth experience.
Caregivers play an integral role throughout pregnancy and birth, and the Hypnoubs™program recognises the difference that supportive caregivers can make to the outcome.
That is why we designed this course especially for you – medical professionals (midwives, obstetricians, doctors, nurses), childbirth educators, doulas and childbirth/pregnancy professionals – who wish to learn the basic philosophy and tools of hypnobirthing so that you can best support parents who choose to use this method of birthing.
Participants of this intensive training are not qualified to teach the Hypnobubs™ Program – please note that this training is designed for support only. However. if you are interested in our Practitioner Training please click here for more info.
If you are a midwife, this course is an Australian College of Midwives Recognised Course (10 CPD Hours).
